    Unfortunately, I don't have much to offer as to why your unit keeps powering off. However, I did want you to know that you're not alone relative to MS Customer Service not responding to your inquiry. I have made a number of attempts to open a dialogue regarding the issues that I'm having with my...

    I'm seriously thinking of buying a MB 560 to replace a natural gas Blaze grill. However, because I'm not a good cook when I use my Blaze grill the flare ups tend to burn more dinners than I like to mention. Therefore, I have two questions regarding the MB 560. First, are flare ups an issue...
