MasterBuilt 560 Flareups
Thank you for the responses. I think I'll try using some drip pans under the meat to see if that will help.- chapper

MasterBuilt 560 Flareups
Need a little help with my MB560. I've owned the MB560 for a few years and I love the flavor that I can get when using it for smoking, I've never had an issue with flare-ups as long as I kept the temp under 350 degrees. However, it seems like every time I crank it up to sear something (steak...- chapper

Masterbuilt Gravity Feed
Last night's grill..... Reverse seared T-Bones. 225 for about 45 minutes and cranked it up. Best steaks I've ever cooked, couldn't believe how juicy they were!- chapper

Charcoal for my MB560
I was using Royal Oak when I first got mine, but it seemed like a lot of coals fell through the grate during the cook. I switched to Kingsford, it seems like they start quicker and not as many fall through the grate. Also, seems like there isn't as much ash compared to Royal Oak. I'm planning on...- chapper

Masterbuilt 560
My two cents - I've been using Royal Oak Tumbleweed Fire Starter I bought from wally world to start. Light with a match, let burn for a few minutes and I'm ready to go.... I was using Royal Oak at first but the briquettes were too small and I noticed a lot fell through the grate during the...- chapper

Masterbuilt Gravity Feed
Good Morning, I love the 560. I've had it for a few weeks and I've mostly done smokes on the weekend due to my work schedule. I've done meatloaf (so, so results - I left it on too long), chicken wings - turned great.... I did baby back ribs this weekend and were dry with no bark. Are people...- chapper

Gravity feed 560 cool time?
The only spots the air can get in are the sliders or ash catch/hopper door. You may want to check that the sliders are in all the way. Three hours is way to long for cool down. I'm not sure exactly how long it's takes to cool down, but usually my coals have been burned out after an hour or...- chapper

Masterbuilt Gravity Feed
I got rid of my Masterbuilt propane smoker a few years ago and have been debating about getting a pellet grill to replace since then. There are so many options and price points out there. I seriously debated about buying a rec tec, but didn't want to spend a $1,000 on a grill. After looking...- chapper

Pellet Grill Advice
Thanks so much for the input. You're right, I've been overthinking this. I think I decided on the Camp Chef PG24DLX. I read a lot of reviews on this grill and it seems like it would be a good start-up smoker. I can get one on Amazon for $500 + free shipping. I plan on keeping my gas grill...- chapper

Pellet Grill Advice
I’m looking to purchase a pellet grill due to frustration with temperature swings on my Masterbuilt propane smoker. I’ve done a lot of modifications to the smoker that were suggested in various forums to help with temp swings; however, I still feel like I have to constantly babysit the smoker...- chapper

Phil from Superior, Wisconsin
My name's Phil - I'm from Superior, WI. I've smoked ribs on my gas grill in the past. After coming across this site, I was interested in getting a smoker. I just bought a Master Built 2-door gas smoker. I tried smoking ribs the other day. I wanted to maintain a 225 temp; however, I had a...
