I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with my new MAK 2 Star. It arrived very quickly as promised. It assembled very easily (great instructions and all the parts went together without forcing or struggling).
But the best part is how it cooks!! After seasoning the MAK, I smoked a bunch of chicken thighs (which I cooked all the time on my gas grill) and they were great. My wife said that they were the best I ever made. Then for Thanksgiving I smoked a beer can turkey and ham shank (at the same time) and they both came out perfect. We had family and friend here for dinner and everyone loved both (I think everyone went back for seconds on the meat).
We're having a bunch over on Saturday and I'm going to smoke a pork shoulder for pulled pork. With my MAK 2, I am very confident having guests on my first attempt

Just had to let you know I'm celebrating the delivery today of my MAK 2 Star General. What a pellet grill! Workmanship fantastic! Temperature control amazing! I thought I loved my other pellet grill, but it's an entry level Chevy compared to the MAK being a top of the line Cadillac! Cooked a pork loin roast today and I'm SO looking forward to trying countless new things! WOO HOO!! (Can you tell I'm excited?)

I'd like to commend Mak Grills on the overall excellent build quality of this grill. Mak Grills are producing a very high quality product. It's a product that I'm proud to own, and I enjoy using very much. My wife and I are very pleased with the purchase.
I'm happy this problem was easily resolved, as we have a large turkey we're intending to smoke for the holidays, which our family is very much looking forward to enjoying with us. Again, thank you and everyone at Mak Grills for making such a great product, thank you for answering the phone when I called, and happy holidays to everyone in your shop.

I wanted you to personally know that I tested my MAK 1 Star smoker this weekend after I purchased it last week and IT IS AWESOME!!!! EASY TO START, EASY TO USE,EASY TO CLEAN UP. I was raving about it yesterday and then everyone raved about the pork shoulder that I smoked for dinner last night. I've had every smoker made under the sun(Propane, Wood, Charcoal) and am ashamed of the money, effort, and time that I've wasted all these years but it seems it's all led to this...which makes up for the other poor purchases made. I Love this MAK GRILL!
Bill Fox, TN.
We bought the 1 Star, brought it home and smoked a whole turkey. It is not often you have a product that works right out of the box with no tweaking. This is an amazing product and we are glad we made the purchase. The turkey was the best we have had and the family, including my 80+, want to come and live with us so we can use the MAK Grill. Thanks for providing a great product that is American Made and that works just great!

I love my new MAK! Feel free to share and tell everyone that I say your product " MAK 2 Star General", is beyond even my most wildest type "A" expectations. I highly recommend everyone to step up to the new way of Smoking.

Thank you for such a great BBQ, Grill, and Smoker. I’ve found that cooking a steaks on my MAK is even better than cooking on a charcoal grill. Charcoal grill takes 6 min. on one side 5 min. on other side. After warming up my MAK I found it got so hot that even my old 6 and 5 method was too long. The grill adds great sear marks to the steak too. The MAK is way ahead of the [other pellet grill], that I pawned off on my sister. Thank you!
Dale, Tillamook, OR.
Many many thanks for your immediate response and action to replace my One Star grill lid! I believe I sent you my help note on Saturday afternoon, and received your rescue message first thing on Monday, and I received the replacement lid Wednesday. It fits perfectly and was easy to install.
As I mentioned before, I'm loving being a part of the MAK Family and your second-to-none grills and accessories; and I look forward to many years of grilling; and showing off my grill. I'm even thinking of upgrading to a Two Star one of these days, but I really like the size of my One Star. I'll continue to spread the word about the best grills on Planet Earth! One very happy griller, on my MAK General One Star (#37)

I will admit that when I placed my order for one of your grills, I was more than a little apprehensive about the price. Having just put the grill together today, I understand. I manage a number of Industrial Machinery Mechanics and I see a lot of equipment, the build quality of this smoker is ridiculous. If it cooks a fraction as well as it’s built… I’ll find out Saturday. I suspect I’ll be buying the grilling grate next. I think it’s the only thing I didn’t get. I intend to drive my neighbors crazy this summer. Thanks

“What impressed me the most, is the design and features found in the MAK that no other pellet grill has. A great built in the USA product!”
Henry Dickerson, OR.
“As a union plumber, I support American-made products. The quality and craftsmanship of the MAK sold me on your unit. I am a firm believer that paying a little extra for something that is built quality strong, and comes with such a great reputation as yours, is well worth the price!”
Gary Canter, WI.
“Top quality materials and construction, along with durability was the core factor of my decision to choose MAK over any other brand of pellet grill”
Joe Carman, WA.
“I was impressed with the fact that you can actually sear a steak, AND smoke with the MAK GRILL”
Gary Burton, OR.
“I really like this smoker. It’s well designed and built. I can’t believe how good the food I smoke tastes. The Pellet Boss is THE BOSS! Not having to ruin a night’s sleep during a long smoke is wonderful. And on top of all that, the MAK is built in the USA.”
John P. Hester, IL.
“I have worked in the steel industry since 1976, and the build quality of the MAK is excellent.”
Stephen Boyles, OH.
“My other pellet grill seems like a toy compared to the MAK. Beyond “Made In the USA”, your tolerance and QC are simply amazing. It was very satisfying putting the MAK together!”
Dan Relf, NV.
“Just got back from Tahoe few days, ago where the MAK performed admirably in 23 degree foul weather snow storms--great product, glad I bought it--just wish we were there for the Thanksgiving turkey and the Christmas prime rib”
Paul Lundsman, CA.
“This has to be my favorite purchase in the last 5 years. I am cooking all the time again and love the build quality of the 2 star and I work at a metal fab shop and have had 2 [other pellet grills] in my life and can not explain how much better your grill is built than theirs. I love the fact I get barely any temp fluctuations at the low temps when I set it”
Kevin Queen, CA.
“Thanks for making a grill where the screws actually worked, and the directions for assembling the grill were easy to read and follow. Thank you for being MADE IN THE USA! ”
Mark Baird, TX.
“This grill rocks! BBQ’d some burgers on it (not grilled ,bbq’d) and they are the best burgers I’ve ever made at home. But on top of making great food, the materials and construction are impressive. Very well built, well thought out. I am a fan!”
Greg Gibbons, CA
"As a career tool and die maker, I’d like to thank you for making a quality product in the USA. This along with the fact that your company is a smaller, locally owned facility was the deciding factor for me, along with the excellent reputation and reviews I have read on your product. "
Roger Caron, OH
“As a long-time “Pellethead”, I love how my MAK cooks. It’s able to reach super searing temperatures or create genuine wood smoked barbecue too. I love all of the features on the Pellet Boss control . This is an incredible cooking machine!”
Bruce Bjorkman, Cooking Outdoors With Mr.Barbecue-KXL Radio.
“The MAK GRILL makes the food taste amazing, and the clean-up is a breeze. This grill is built to last and is easy to use!”
Rod & Sue Dunham, OR.
"I just want to compliment you guys on a doing such a great job with this grill, everything about it screams quality. It was a joy to put together and it made me proud to see what a well thought-out and well-built piece of equipment you are selling. I look forward to many happy years with my MAK and I will be a bullhorn of word of mouth advertising for you guys."
Tom Carter,CA.
“The MAK GRILL has everything I wanted. Superb craftsmanship and American made with a 3 year warranty. If you’re looking for a pellet grill look no further than MAK Grills.”
Rick & Chrystal, PA.
“We have been proud MAK owners for a year now. We compete in the professional BBQ circuit. The MAK is a great grill and smoker combined into one unit. It's easy to use and easy to clean. Our MAK GRILL has been in and out of our truck dozens of times and is still in perfect working condition.”
Chris Juencke, CA. - Smokin’ Yankee's BBQ Competition Team
“I have owned 5 of the most popular name brand smokers. Not one of them compares to the MAK. The Pellet Boss digital controller is by far the best on the market. The first time I did ribs on the MAK, my wife Jan said “these are the best you have ever done”. She said exactly the same thing the first time I did pork butts on it. It is absolutely foolproof. I’ll never be without a MAK.”
Larry Rudolph, KY.
“I had already decided to buy another brand of pellet grill, until I discovered that they shipped the manufacturing overseas, I was truly disappointed. Then I came upon your wonderfully constructed pellet grill!! This thing is a tank. I'm sure I will get many, many, many years of enjoyment out of this gem. Thanks for building American!”
Chris, Racine, WI.
“I just completed assembling my grill. My compliments on the quality of the unit and the ease of assembly. The shipping container was well protected so the unit arrived in perfect condition. I am looking forward to getting started with it”
John, Scottsdale, AZ.
“The quality of this grill is amazing!! In the class of Sub-Zero kitchen appliances or Bentley autos. So well thought out. All screws are the same size. All parts were present. All parts fit perfectly. All parts are top quality. I just wasn't expecting anything this good. I've never smoked anything before so this is going to be an adventure.”
Larry, San Diego,CA.
“Thanks for making a quality US made grill. I purchased this because I wanted a grill made in the USA. I'm also excited about your control system!”
Mark, Nickerson, KS.
“I am very excited to see an American made product fabricated to such high standards. I was so excited about the quality of the manufacturing and packaging I did not want to get the grill dirty or throw the packaging away. Now I am looking forward to tasting some pellet grilled food.”
Mark, Dublin, CA.
