    Lump, Chips, etc...

    I was able to find the B&B char logs at ace hardware online. They’ll ship to store for free, may give those a try. Feedback on those in the Facebook group have been very good.

    Lump, Chips, etc...

    I have been using royal oak in my 560 since I got it. It’s readily available here in Southern California. I get a 15 pound bag for $9 at Walmart. All of the Walmart’s around me sell Royal Oak. I’ve been wanting to try B&B but I’ve never seen it in any of the stores around me. I actually like...

    Masterbuilt Seasoning

    Please ignore my post. I just realized this was in the propane smokers section. This post had popped up under “latest post” while I was in the charcoal section. Didn’t realize that was global. It’s been a while since I’ve been on the forums since the redesign . My apologies for chiming in on the...

    It’s only a matter of time that they’ll get them. All the Walmart’s around me have like 2-4 in stock. I was gonna hold off on this as well, but glad I didn’t. It’s now my primary grill for smoking and grilling

    Masterbuilt Seasoning

    I used bacon grease on my mb560. Seasoned well and I haven’t seen any issues with it so far. I’ve used bacon grease for my rectec and offset when I got them. For the wood, chunks would be the best option. On the Facebook group, a member said he tried wood chips and they ignited. Lots of white...

    First Cook For The Masterbuilt Gravity Smoker

    Wow that’s a pretty big difference in temp. I’ll check mine tomorrow to see if I have the same results. That gummy smoke is creosote and moisture build up. I have been letting mine dry up and it chips away. I don’t worry too much about it. I’ve attached a photo of what it looks like after it...

    First Cook For The Masterbuilt Gravity Smoker

    Interesting that smoke flavor was an issue. The several cooks I have done, the smoke flavor has been great. In the cooks I did, I put large wood chunks in layers in the hopper. I’d pour in lump charcoal, throw some hickory chunks in, then more lump. Did a few layers like this. Once the smoker...

    My MB 560 Gravity Feed Smoker

    I’m sure you’ll be happy with it. The few things I have cooked on it so far have had a very good smoke flavor, something I’ve missed for a very long time. Really happy with the 560 so far, haven’t used my pellet smoker since I got this.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Shipped via amazon. It came damaged which I was not happy about. Really hoping MB changes the packaging on these grills.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I’ve been happy with this grill so far. The versatility of it is great. I feel there is some room for improvement and was worried about buying a version 1, but it’s working great so far. Any issues that people are running into with the grill, seems like MB has been very responsive and fixing...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    That’s a great question. I think it depends on the fuel, lump or briquettes. People are getting better times with briquettes on this grill vs lump. I’ll probably do a pork butt this weekend, I can report back on how much fuel I use. I believe Masterbuilt clames the hopper will hold 10 pounds of...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Yes for sure. Reminded me of when I used my offset smoker years ago. In my offset I would use a combo of charcoal and wood in a basket. Did this for a long time till I had my second kid and didn’t have time to sit and monitor the offset for extended cooks. This is why I went with the pellet...

    Both. Did a few layers of hickory in with the lump charcoal and then put some in the pan below.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    For those of you already using charcoal, this probably isn’t as exciting. But I came from a pellet grill so I get pretty happy with this. This was the amount of smoke coming off the grill at 250. Even at high temps, I can still get really great amounts of smoke. This was always an issue with my...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I’m in southern California. It’s not usually too cold here. Last night it was about 46 outside when I fired up the grill. So it wasn’t too warm outside but I’m sure much warmer than other parts of the country. I need to really pay attention, but I feel like on a smoke, it’s burning about 1.5 - 2...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    It’s been awesome. I’ve had it since last week and have done 3 cooks on it so far. I reverse seared tri tip and made some CSR’s. The smoke flavor has been great. The one area I appreciate is the amount of time it takes to get up to temp. I can get to 200 in about 5-7 minutes from a cold start...
