So I’m smoking a bunch of baby back ribs today and I found something really weird. One of the racks has double rib bones? I promise you it’s not 2 separate racks. It’s one set of full length rib bones with another set of smaller rib bones fused on the top. I tried to split them apart and it...
I’m really starting to like my gravity smoker but I need something larger. The ease of use is right up there with pellet smokers but produces a flavor extremely close to my offsets. I’ve looked into ordering a larger custom built gravity but the wait time is months.
So... I see the Dyna-glo...
I’m about ready to return it. Not the easiest thing to put together. Two of the safety switches were broken. Wiring was messed up and fan wouldn’t start. Masterbuilt said the replacement parts should ship by the end of February. Ended up having to rewire it all myself without the replacement...
I agree with the other comments. It looks like the cut of meat is your problem. I use Chuck roasts for mine. Points work good too. Need something with a lot of fat. . I cook them right next to my pork butts. Exact same temp and time. About 4-5 hours on the smoke, then 4-5 hours wrapped. Then 4-5...
Just found the Masterbuilt 560 Gravity Smokers on clearance for $250 at my local Walmart! I’ve been on the fence about these for a while. Still planning on getting a chargriller 980 but this will allow to test both and do some reviews.
Makes me wonder why these are 50% off though. Gravity’s...
No problem man. I’m shocked to see you pop up on the forum. I’ve watched some of your videos before. Super impressed. I have about a million questions for you about YouTube but I’ll spare you. I’m sure you’ve been asked the same stuff a million times before
that’s the one that the mad scientist bbq guy uses right? I’m looking to do a lot of overnight cooks. If it came with a PID temp controller or even a BBQ guru I definitely would.
I’m just going by complaints from YouTube videos. I guess the chargriller has a seperate diffuse plate on top of the heat manifold. Helps to keep the direct heat off the bottom rack.
Just from more research I think I’m going with the Chargriller. It seems to have a better build quality. The...
So my next purchase is going to be a gravity smoker. Masterbuilt 1050 or Chargriller 980?
I’ve read other threads on this same topic and watched a ton of YouTube videos but I still can’t decide. Is it true the Masterbuilt doesn’t have a heat diffuser so the entire bottom grate is useless for...
The problem might actually be the meat itself. I ran into the EXACT same problem when I bought some ribs from Walmart. Some brands brine their meat in a salt solution to keep them fresh longer. Check the labels for sodium content. You’d be surprised home much salt is already pumped into some. I...
those look awesome! I’ll let you know next time I cut some up. I’m assuming it’s about 3 ribs per meal but I won’t know until I actually assemble a lunch box.
