    Fan not working

    This is what was happening to me as well. It's almost like the very first time you DON"T get a beep or error message. A couple things. Process of elimination: Manually press the ash bin switch, lid switch and hopper switch in. Are you able to set the temperature? Stupid question, but...

    Couple questions on the 560

    I just purchased the MBGS 560 from HD. It was on clearance for $350. It is last years' model though. So my first question is, what is the most crucial mod for the previous years' model? From just looking at the 2 models, the main difference is the manifold looks slanted on the newer models...
