    Best way to "pull" pork and chicken

    Hello! I am currently smoking a whole chicken and pork butt in my gravity fed. I always have a hard time shredding/pulling the meat. I've tried forks, the claw looking things, and just using my fingers which is my preferred method. But how do I get the meat, esp. pork into chunks vs long stringy...

    New MB 800 After Preseasoning Leaving Particles

    It is Kingsford applewood briquettes. I think it's because I left and it was unattended for awhile after the seasoning was done. So all the charcoal burnt down and blew into the grill. When I did preseasoned the griddle I made sure to shut it down right after it was done and I didn't have that...

    New MB 800 After Preseasoning Leaving Particles

    Yes, it says you can add wood chunks to the ash bin to release wood smoke once the lit coals fall. I'm thinking because I left for a little while the ashes blew the before I put the inserts back in?

    New MB 800 After Preseasoning Leaving Particles

    Hello! I finally got MB gravity feed 800 series. I followed instructions per manual and did the normal preseason, except I added wood chips to the ash tray per YouTube suggestion the last 30 minutes at 450. After I finished there dust/dirt/wood particles left all over the inside of grill. Is...

    Will MBGS replace our propane grill?

    There are 6 of us and will use mostly for grilling. A typical weeknight would be 2-3 chicken breasts, 6 bratwursts, maybe a few burgers, and veggies and potato pack or some side item. My husband likes to takes leftovers for lunch. I usually smoke a pork shoulder and whole chicken about once a...

    Will MBGS replace our propane grill?

    I'm thinking the 800 is going to be too small for us. Is there any talk of a griddle add on for the 1050? Or is the way it is setup not possible for that?

    Will MBGS replace our propane grill?

    Just out of curiosity, how do you sell them? Do you own a retail store of some sort?

    Will MBGS replace our propane grill?

    I'm assuming since you have the 1050, you don't have the griddle component? My husband had been eyeing a Blackstone and I was thinking/hoping the MB 800 would also take care of that element as well?

    Will MBGS replace our propane grill?

    Hello! I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the MB Gravity Series 800. Just wondering if this will also replace our propane grill for the quick weeknight grill of chicken breast, brats, burgers, etc.? Anyone have the MB and use this for, basically everything? We're used to pushing a button...

    Any good smoker/grill combos out there?

    I was looking at that, seems to be sold out everywhere. I also was looking at camp saver woodwinds with a griddle attachment. But pellet will give me a lot less smoke flavor? My husband also just threw a wrench in my grill search he wants something with propane since we have a propane hookup...

    Any good smoker/grill combos out there?

    The motherboard died and then was doing this flashing thing. We probably could have gotten it fixed but I didn't really have a good spot for it since we moved and was wanting a grill/smoker combo. Actually grill/smoker/griddle combo would be even better. My friend just got a Green Mountain...

    Any good smoker/grill combos out there?

    Is there a downside to this? As far as cleaning or anything? Is 13 minutes a long time to heat up for grilling temperature? My husband does the grilling I do the smoking. I don't want him annoyed with anything as this week likely be his Father's Day present. 😬

    Any good smoker/grill combos out there?

    I have had MB electric smoker the past few years they recently died. I was debating on replacing with a propane smoker but I am low on space at our new house and would prefer an all in one grill and smoker. I would like to stay under $1000. I am open to any suggestions! Thank you.

    Pork Shoulder Advice

    Well, 10.5 hours in and only at 160.  I foiled it, put in aluminum pan, upped temp to 275 and back in.  Thinking I should put in oven at 325 to speed up process??

    Pork Shoulder Advice

    I know I keep saying I am going to order it and then never do.  Probably because it seems complicated and adding something else to the learning process.  But seems like it is a must with the electric smoker!
