    The Mini MAK has finally been unveiled

    Mini-MAK - MAK Grills - 503-623-1234

    Unfortunately, it's kinda heavy and VERY expensive. I feel bad for these US manufacturers, material prices are through the roof and they don't do the quantity to be able to keep prices down much.

    I do like the add on box they sell for it which brings the cooking area above most non-portable pellet grills. I would guess this would be a great grill for the cabin, or motorhome...

    I suspect at the price point they are gonna have to rely on reviews for sales, so maybe Max will get to play with one soon

    Agree with everything. That is a no-compromise solution for a (kinda) portable MAK. Basically a 1/2 size 1 Star.

      Oh my. $2500 smackaroos? Same price as a One Star?! Dang.

        Right. Strapping my current 1 Star in the back of my rig will cost much less. 😉

        Goldenbear there's a few folks who made a hitch mount for their MAKs and then fabbed something to replace the factory cabinet to get the base of the grill chamber off the ground a bit for cooling purposes

      I’d have to think that all the stainless steel is what pushed the cost to equal the 1 star? That’s a hard one for me to understand, but then again I’m not the target market.

        yes, US sourced steel price is through the roof and IMO quality is down. A friend that does fabrication said he's been having QC issues with US and overseas stainless metals rust spotting before he even cuts or welds. But I agree the mini would be a strong contender for much more folks at around 1800 which is what I'm guessing the price would have been 2ish years ago.

        Oh I hear what you’re saying, it’s really tough times all around and dealing with the supply chain just sucks. They know their market and I wasn’t in it before so no surprise I’m not in this one either, lol. I'm sure it’s built like a tank and the material selections were done to ensure this guy lives up to their well deserved name. ItsAllGoneToTheDogs
