Bar-B-Lew, what are your thoughts on mak vs memphis?
They both have some features I like over the other for different reasons and they are both about 5 years old and their newer models have different features than mine. I can tell you that in my cook the other weekend in 7.5 inches of snow, the Memphis performed much closer to set temp than the MAK did.
MAK - love new ignitor, like upper rack system which will hold more larger cuts of meat then the Memphis, like my side cold smoker chamber, 50/50 on my wifi addition, like my front shelf, like the pellet dump, don't like auger system, controller LED died on me on first controller, 2nd controller had trouble pushing buttons in cold weather
Memphis - love temp consistency and cooking in cold weather, can hold 13-14 racks of baby backs with shelf system, prefer pellet drop into fire pot, do not like ash and grease catching system
