Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

Yes sir that's a steal !
These are at a place that I believe buys the pallets of returns. They have several 1050 models assembled and new for that price.
And would probably negotiate to move a couple.

I am sure they are not in NY or they would have to have "Fallen off the truck" ...lol

I check in with Brickseek on a weekly basis, this is how I got my 560 for $250 and I just missed getting one for $150 from a nearby WalMart

That was the price of the last one they sold. And that could've been two years ago.

My Home Depot has the MB1050 for $900 which supports the local brick&mortar store. (The current Amazon price is $800 new and $700 refurb.)
If anyone really wants a red CG 980, you can get them from Lowes.com for the same price as blue, and even with free shipping, at least to NorCal:

I was just at Academy looking for some B&B Competition Oak briquettes, which they don't have. And they had a 1050 for $750 .

YMMV on the damn deals, I live in So Cal and as soon as I saw somebody got a n 800 for I think $249, I spent the next 2 months looking at the deal site. I never saw any deal I could get on anything Masterbuilt. While I would have loved to have found an 800 or 1050 for some crazy $300'ish price, I'm still totally happy with the $499 I spent on my 560. Next on my list is maybe getting a CG AutoKomodo, looks pretty sweet for the price.

The app has ALWAYS had issues though mine didn't have issues till this last update now it's useless. no big though I got inkbird and thremo probes I use for it and grill temps with alerts oh and btw from a fb group I follow he's seeing 800s for $350 not sure where he is though

If your watching the new show, BBQ USA on Food Network, in episode 3 when they're at the comp in Texas, at the 10:50 mark there's a guy lighting his 1050 with a propane torch. First time I've seen anyone use a Masterbuilt GF in a comp.

I use the Discovery + app to watch. Get a new episode every Monday.

I only use the app to monitor and adjust temps but like the new updated app.......especially since I figured out that I had to delete the old one for it to work .

I enjoy the show and noticed that too !
We competed in a GBA comp in May and will admit I was a little intimidated using the 1050 against the Langs and mobile cook shacks.

the second episode was in Georgia. And almost every competitor had a GF, but they were more like the Stumps. Or even the Old Country.

I keep thinking I'd like to have an Old Country GF.

Yeah 1 of the teams featured is from here but didn't get a call.
I'm very much interested in the GF myself. Looks like the best of both worlds ! The OC has received good reviews from what I've seen but man the Stumps and Myron Mixon look sweet ! Also considering building a drum or 2.

yeah I need to land a MB or 980 before I step up to that...lol

 

[Smokin Okie]

I was looking at an Assassin 17 or a Southern Q Limo Jr, but still priced way over what I should be spending. I'll be happy if I can find a 1050 on sale.

We had great success and surprisingly won GC so having a hard time convincing the wife=CFO that we need a new/better cooker
