Smokin like a two stack MAK come on!

MAK 2 Star General #3053

I am looking at maybe selling my MAK.  Would $2,000 be a fair asking price or too low?  I am a little torn on this, not sure which way to go.

I would say if it is less than a year old 80% of a new price would be fair.  Anything older would be closer to 50%-60%.  Sorta like buying a used car.  Why would you sell it?

So with the WiFi and full upper grate I paid $3200 plus tax.  It is a year and a half old, so say asking price of $1700 seems fair.  Thoughts?

Multiple reasons, home life issues, right now she has the pit and it just sits in the backyard.  Another reason is I am looking at going to a Memphis.  I love my MAK just want a little higher heat searing ability that the Memphis offers.  I don’t want multiple pits, just one to do it all.

Start at $2k and take $1.7k.  Where do you live?  Maybe I will come and pick it up

You got about a 2700 mile drive...

4 day round trip not worth it...some other lucky guy will get a nice pit

Now that would have been cool.  You could always pick up some tri-tip and take it home.

Thanks on the pricing, sounds like a plan.

If anyone is around Bakersfield and is interested let me know.

If you can drive 5400 miles in 4 days, you are more of a road warrior then me!

That would be a trip, did 4200 in 4 days once for a hunting dog, swore that next time will ship by plane.

Interesting timing for this thread to appear. I have a 2 Star that will be one year old next month. Absolutely love it...but like you, there are times that I wish I could squeeze another 100-150° out of it. Would love to be able to cook at 600° with ease on the occasions that that high of a temp would be beneficial.   I too am kinda torn.

Have you guys ever tried grillgrates on your MAK to see if you can get what you want out of it?

I played around with them once, but haven’t really tried a high temp cook with them. My issue is the size of my family and that almost every “grilling” session requires almost every square inch of the cooking surface. I have been warned that covering to much of the cooking surface with GG’s will cause airflow issues and/or potential damage. Have you covered your MAK w/ GG’s, and if yes, how much of the cooking surface did you cover?  I have a set of GG’s that’ll cover the entire surface leaving a 1/2” gap on each side. If that wouldn’t interfere w/ airflow or cause damage I’d be very interested in grilling with them.

I have not.  But, you could try putting finished product in the warming side while finishing the rest.

Look, I have a MAK and a Memphis and have no prejudice to either.  Just hate to see someone take a haircut selling a pit when they have not explored all options.

I don’t want to hi-jack this thread so I am gonna PM you w/ a few questions.

Not hijacking at all, I am just listening and learning
