    Masterbuilt Gravity Fed 800 & 1050: can interior space be heated more efficiently for smaller meals?

    It's worked very well so far. I've done some pork tenderloins, twice (gets nice smoke rings on them even if they were only on the grill for 90 minutes). Some burgers. Meatloaf (that surprised me with how good it was). And poor man burnt ends using a chuck roast (which turned out magnificent)...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Fed 800 & 1050: can interior space be heated more efficiently for smaller meals?

    Update: I picked up a 1050 this afternoon. Tomorrow morning I assemble. It's quick and fun, right? ;) Anyways, thanks for all for the advice, everyone.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Fed 800 & 1050: can interior space be heated more efficiently for smaller meals?

    Thanks for the info. For those quick, small cooks, how much fuel does it use? Oh, I'll most definitely be going to be using a drip pan and may try to make my own manifold cover with drip-pan brackets like LLS and Klotes (my father-in-law's workshop has a of the equipment I'd need).

    Masterbuilt Gravity Fed 800 & 1050: can interior space be heated more efficiently for smaller meals?

    Okay. Definitely going on the "good recommendation" pile. :) While I'm lazy and new to charcoal, I can see the benefits of a kettle as learning even more about how to cook with the fuel.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Fed 800 & 1050: can interior space be heated more efficiently for smaller meals?

    Good advice. I hadn't thought of it that way. I'd thought maybe I'd also get a small gas grill, but your suggestion may be a much more affordable way to have a second grill while also still being able to use charcoal. :)

    Masterbuilt Gravity Fed 800 & 1050: can interior space be heated more efficiently for smaller meals?

    I'm soon going to pull the trigger and get a Masterbuilt 800 or 1050. I need a larger size because I'll be regularly entertaining larger groups. But, a lot of the time, it'll be just my wife and I who I'll be cooking for and we won't need to heat all that space, and we'll burn a lot of charcoal...
