Very sad to learn that MAK Grills has permanently closed. A few months ago, they posted that they were seeking a fabricator to take over their grill business. Looks like they were unable to find a buyer. For years, I recommended their products as my go to for pellet grills. I even bought a second MAK on the second hand market (that has proven to be a mistake even before this news). I also have a video coming out soon where I talk them up….. more than that, I feel for their small team of employees and for the folks who may have recently purchased one of their products. Pellet grills are the most technologically dependent grill that you can buy so having ongoung backend support is important.

I became aware of this listing and thought I'd pass it on. I have never been to or even seen an Academy store (I don't think they are prominent where I live in CA), but I have heard others mention it. Not sure how long this price is good for but Pit Barrel Cooker lists the regular price for the PBX, which is their larger 22.5" cooker, for $599.99 so this is a massive discount off the regular price. If you've been on the fence about getting an easy to use drum smoker, this might be a great deal to jump on especially considering that the PBX is considerably larger than their standard 18.5" cooker. Please share & comment if you decide to buy it. https://www.academy.com/p/pit-barrel-cooker-pbx-smoker?gmc_feed=t&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=SEM-Shopping&utm_campaign=Non-Brand%7CPerformanceMax%7CSportsRec%7CeCom&utm_content=Shopping&ogmap=SEM%7CPLN%7CGOOG%7CSHOP%7Cc%7CFW%7C%7CNon-Brand-PerformanceMax-SportsRec-eCom%7C%7C22546966449&activationcode=SEM00000000008&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22553350043&gbraid=0AAAAADv-p96XPWpK-TEg8fXYKn2AiGpov&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzqXQBhD2ARIsAKrIeU8sBlayDt8GvjkafL7gbS2OWQ2pQh-m1Q9S8kkvAZ50NeGQ2c3zd9EaAsIpEALw_wcB
