Replaced my MAK 2 Star<\/a> General wood pellet smoker-grill Pellet Boss Controller Bluetooth module last year with a Wi-Fi module. I really like the remote control capabilities of both technologies but for a tech junkie like myself I prefer the added bells and whistles that the Wi-Fi module provides.<\/p>\n

The MAK Grills Mobile (Wi-Fi module) is their Wireless Web Application which allows me to operate my grill using any device with a web browser. A Kindle, smart phone, iPod, tablet, laptop or desktop computer, can all be used. It is not a \"smart phone app\" that only runs on Apple<\/a> or Android platforms.<\/p>\n

The MAK Grills Mobile gives me full operational control of my MAK 2 Star<\/a>. I can change and set grill temperatures, set-up an unlimited number of cooking programs, set meat probe alerts, receive text or email notification alerts no matter where I am or what I'm doing, graph my smokes\/cooks and food temperatures, and even turn off my grill. It can be used on any MAK grill.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, in the middle of some much needed rain here in Northern California, I smoked a 14 lb spatchcocked young turkey from the comfort of my home office.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"MAK<\/div><\/div><\/a>
MAK Grills WiFi Module Interface<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The 'Grill Control' screen illustrates some of the tools available at my finger tips. While working on my desktop computer I monitored the probe temp at the breast and the grill temp. The 'Set Point' allowed me to change the temp from Smoke to 325\u00baF. I used the 'Countdown Timer' to notify me after 2\u00bd hours of smoke in order to raise the pit temp to 325\u00baF. The 'Elapsed Timer' is a great tool for documenting the length of your cooks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"MAK<\/div><\/div><\/a>
MAK Grills WiFi Module Graph<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The 'Cooking Graph' shows the preheating cycle, 2\u00bd hours of smoking at 180\u00baF with hickory pellets<\/a>, and the pit temperature increase to 325\u00baF. Note how stable the MAK 2 Star<\/a> keeps the pit temperature.<\/p>\n

The temperature probe is measured at the thickest part of the turkey breast. I recommend taking the breast temp to 170\u00baF. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Quick note on how to hickory smoke<\/a> a scrumptious 14 pound turkey. Start with a fresh or properly defrosted young turkey. Remove the giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels before spatchcocking the turkey by removing the backbone using a large butcher knife and\/or poultry shears. Flatten the breast bone to allow the turkey to lay flat. Rub extra virgin olive oil<\/a> and Jan's Original Dry Rub<\/a> under and on the skin.<\/p>\n

Preheat your MAK 2 Star<\/a> wood pellet smoker-grill to 180\u00baF and hickory<\/a> smoke the spatchcock turkey for 2\u00bd hours. Bump the pit temp to 325\u00baF until the internal temperature<\/a> at the thickest part of the breast reaches 170\u00baF. Rest the smoked spatchcocked turkey loosely under a foil tent for 20 minutes before carving and serving with all the trimmings - mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and of course the infamous green been casserole.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
