Two MAK 2 Stars. I purchased the 3rd production MAK 2 Star off the line (#28) in 2009. I received a 2016 model 2 Star as a gift and do all my cooking on that one.
Very cool! Any chance you have a side by side pic of the MAK’s?

My first is a gmg db.  It gave me enough confidence that i wanted to do a backyard comp.  Which led me to getting the gmg dc so I had a dedicated chicken cooker.  I was never happy about space so I got a bgw GI. Which was going to be used in another backyard comp. But i couldn't do it because of my ex's health issues.

Two Traegers.  Pro 22 for low and slow (smoking) and a Lil’ Tex with GMG griddle/pizza attachment for griddle, searing, & pizza (wood-fired).  I bought the Lil’Tex second hand (in sad shape) to make a cold smoker, but everything worked on it, so I went the other way.

2 cookers.  GMG JB wifi and a Rectec 680-rt.
Routinely have 30 people including children at my place.

GMG was my first.  Love the wifi and use it 90% of the time.

Rectec was acquired via trade.  Traded my Saffire grills Kamado for it.

Hope to get a fast eddy cooker in the future with huge capacity.

I'm about ready to have a 6th one...   Why?  why not?   Bordering on addiction I guess...  I should probably thin the herd and maybe sell or give one or two away... We'll see how the new one works before I decide to get rid of any....

Just curious... why do you no longer have the Memphis Pro?  What were your likes/dislikes re: the Pro?

I currently have three:

2 Traeger Lil Tex Elites
FireCraft Q-450

I had one of the Traegers and my mother in law had the second one.  When she went to heaven, she couldn't take the Traeger with her so I brought it home.  She loved cooking on the Traeger and encouraged me to cook on it when we visited.  That experience got me interested in having one of my own.

I bought the FireCraft about a month ago.  Both of the Traegers are in the neighborhood of 7 and 8 years old, and I found myself doing a lot of mechanical work to keep them running:  hot rods, auguer motors, controllers, and RTDs have been replaced in one of both of them.  Adding the FireCraft to my back yard has made cooking fun again because I am no longer concerned with the operability of my primary cooker.   :clap:

GMG DC and a FEC100
Crockett and Tubbs :)
DC for small and/or hot cooks
FEC100 for the big long smokes
DC is perfect for 2 chickens, 3-4 pork tenderloins where the FEC100 does all the big stuff like pork butt, brisket and a whack load of ribs

My answer was three.  I started out with just one, and was quite happy with just one, but the other two were deals too good to pass up.
