      What is just as amazing is that the temperature varies only 15 degrees F (12 on mine) from top to bottom, left to right, and front to back.

        yeah it's pretty consistent temp wise, what's crazier is Zeta is blowing directly at the vents right now, constant 25mph with 50+ gusts and the MAK is still chugging along within 5 degrees of the set point. My buddies woodwind will flameout if the wind comes a certain direction steadily.

        cooking in the wonderful weather that Zeta has brought us, 25ish mph wind with 50+ gusts and some random sideways upways and crossways rain. The MAK is handling it like a champ.

        Mak says cooking in the rain is no problem for the Mak grill. Born and raised in the state of Wahington where they do get a little rain from time to time.

        lostclusters theres a huge difference between NW (England/Germany) type rain, and rain from a post tropical cyclone The MAK handled it like a champ, just had to cover the fan port with a bit of wicker furniture to reduce the rain blown in

        Wow! What temp did you set the MAK at? Flame Zone Covers on or off? Show us the end results. Thanks in advance!

          That's the MAK 1 Star? Or 2 Star?

          Was looking at them the other day and wondering about capacity. I have a hard time translating "XX sq inches" into "racks of ribs"

            If you use rib racks you could fit a whole lot of ribs. I am guessing maybe six rib holders on my 1 star. Four rib racks per holder going side to side, two holding four half racks going front to back. 20 racks if my math is correct.

            Thanks! That's great to know. A MAK may be my next cooker...... I rarely need to do more than 5 or 6 slabs at a time. Sounds like it'll do that easily. Never used a rib rack before.

            Mine is a 2018 model 2 Star, the new 2 stars can do a ton of ribs flat because they have multiple racks now. I think up to 12-16 racks depending on type of ribs. The 1 star is the same sq inch as the 2 star and even comes with the flamezone as standard now, but only has 1 additional rack so 6-8ish ribs flat.
