I have to agree with Bear, It appears the only reason Macsbbq is here is to sell his product... I see no other participation in any of his posts.
Todd has participated in posts other than those relating to his product and is also a sponsor of our monthly throwdowns offering his A-Maze-N-Smoker as a prize.
Todd has been more than helpful to members not just with his smokers... He has posted his smokes and also answered questions on smoking for a number of members.
If you notice When he was first starting out with the A-Maze-N-Smoker he sent out a lot of units to be tested by the members, NOT JUST 2.
I for one will support the product made in the USA over foreign made and also one made by a productive member of this site not just a member who is a member so they can sell their products to other members. Todds product is well made and has great customer support, that is a known fact.
As for Macsbbq and his ProQ, nobody here has apparently seen or tried one so how can anyone speak of if it is or isn't well made or how good of job it does. The only thing we have to go on is Ian's posts,
I think if Ian was serious about getting his product known a good way to start would be have more than 2 members test them...
Also on the Dealers page of his website it lists the following:
Napoleon Appliance Corp - 214 Bayview Dve, Barrie, Ontario, Canada - +1 705 726 4278 -

I didn't realize that Canada was part of the USA, did I miss the part where we made it a state?
