I'm in the market for a flat top grill to go with my Weber gas grill and Gravity fed smoker. I see 95% of people are sporting a Blackstone or Camp Chef. Only thing I can find in my area right now (MN) is the Chargriller 4 burner 36" for $300.
Anyone have any experience with it? I can only find...
I use these:

1 square in the hopper starter and half a square in the ash pan with the leftover charcoal and wood from the last cook. Light them up and 3 min later lock everything down. Never not worked....
Isn't the entire video about the 1050? I'm confused by your comment. Do you mean that the 1050 hasn't been upgraded? If so, that isn't true. It has been modified slightly with quality of life changes.
I've been having pretty poor luck with putting wood directly in the hopper layered in with charcoal (lump or briquettes). It just isn't consistent. It seems best if you add say 4in+ of charcoal, then a few pieces of smoke wood, then more charcoal, then more smoke wood. This allows the wood to...
This was likely it. When I opened the hopper, there was so much moisture on the top. These were chunks from Menards in a bag. Seems odd they'd have that much moisture in them.
Interesting. Anyone using only the bottom ash collector for wood and leaving the main chute for briquettes / lump only? I've had decent success by leaving some of the larger chunks of charcoal in the ash bin and then throwing a few chunks of wood. By the time the wood starts smoldering /...
Last cook, I had my 1050 at 225 degrees with a half full hopper of Kingsford competition briquettes and a few chunks of hickory thrown in. After a short bit (20 min or so), I was getting horrible thick, white smoke. I opened up the top of the hopper to let it escape there instead of getting on...
I've been throwing some wood chunks (cherry, hickory or apple) in the hopper with the lump or briquettes and then some in the ash bin as well. I'm wondering how you all are doing it? If you just toss some in the ash bin before it is heated up and ash is falling? Or do you do it only after a few...
Not really. I got it after it started warming up here. It eats through charcoal briquettes though (I tried the Kingsford Competition from Costco). It does pretty good with the lump charcoal though (tried the B&B Oak from Ace). I didn't even use a full hopper in 6 hours smoking between 225 and...
I'm in the metro area of MN as well. Menards listed the 980 for a while (never in stock) and now have pulled the listing. Lowes also lists it, but they are never in stock and don't know when stock will be coming.
I sold off my RecTec RT-700 and bought the 1050 a couple weeks ago. I went to Home...
I owned the RT-700 for 2 years and just sold it about a month ago. My first smoker was an electric Masterbuilt and using pellets in a maze. The RT-700 clearly blows that away. The temperature consistency is pretty incredible and there is very little variability in the temps across the entire...
