    Yes on my 1050. Use them between my napoleon pro 500 and this. Don't really do anything for this bbq, but for the real fire char I use a different charcoal bbq vs the masterbuilt for the finish

    Understood. I did the grate mod with some skewers.

    Yes I'm familiar with the kit but didn't think it related to the fuel consumption? The shaft liner right? The one Will describes.

    Now I did something different that ruined my bday party pulled pork dish.. I used grill grates to catch dripping and put pans on top of them. Even tho I left couple inch on each side of grill grates. 1050 reported 225.. Dome and my other thermo reported 170f..... I wasn't paying attention and...

    Did a bit of a grate mod for charcoal as well.. 1050 still a huge monster consumer of fuel for me.. 10hr cook takes $20, 20lb bag.. At 225

    Many complaints in other notes from owners of random shutdowns.. Horrible stories happening middle of night and big ticket meats having to be thrown out. I'd never trust this thing overnight without using a different controller.

    I use the Kamado joe fire starters, just one square works every time. Snap out a square, slide it in, I try to light it 3 corners with a long nosed bbq lighter. Leave it going for 1m-2m or so w vents open, good to go. Turn on bbq. I understand similar squares work

    Lol I do add it, that's the problem, it burns 5x the amount or more than I would normally use. You're filling it every cook. On egg you get 5+ uses out of a fill for shorter cooks or more. And a fill is a few pounds. The finish in terms of char on the food doesn't seem to be the same, and...

    It's nowhere near the same finish on the food as my actual charcoal grills. I agree the flexibility is great of temp. But what's the point if you run outta fuel, don't get the same food finish... Maybe my grill grates that just arrived will change something dunno. But pretty fed up with this...

    Ordered a primo xl 400. Real two zone. Real charcoal, real efficiency. This 1050 thing is going back or for sale or something.
