    Masterbuilt 1050 3rd day (returning unit)

    Well, I'm jealous. Our book tells us to close the vents and doors to smother out the fire. That way you save the charcoal without having to remove it. I think we Masterbuilt users will have to leave the doors shut. I really wish these were magnetic safety switches like in alarm systems...

    :emoji_older_man::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_man::emoji_older_man: It was shut down and cool. Then I cleaned it. Then waited 4 hours. Not like I timed four hours. That's how much time passed before I pushed it into the garage and unlatched the doors. Then I went to bed...

    Masterbuilt 1050 3rd day (returning unit)

    Today, I am going to attempt a whole week's food prep for my elderly parents again. Pork Loin, potatoes/carrots/garlic, chicken thighs, legs, and asparagus will hopefully all come off at the same time. I am pretty sure I have all my timing correct. I'll see what happens to the switches today...

    I cleaned the switches and they worked for a bit. The fan still switched off after 15 minutes. However, it was over 500 degrees. That got me thinking about my switches. The bottom one on the charcoal door is the only one that doesn’t sit flush on the outside surface. It’s recessed and I think...

    I have 3 emails in a row that go like this. “ Good Afternoon, Remove fan from the hopper, place on the side shelf and by pass the wiring harness by plugging your fan directly into the controller (do not put fingers in the fan blades. Power on your controller and set your temperature. If the...

    The switches worked fine when I isolated them and plugged them into the panel. How did you “work the switches”? I’ve been in contact with MB CS since last week. I followed all their steps.

    It doesn't fail until it reaches 350 degrees. The fan shuts off exactly at that temp. There are no errors. I have the latest update in software. So, the next day I have help loading it up, I'll take it back. Maybe Monday or Tuesday I'll take it over there. This was a gift. I bbq for my...

    Yup. Gonna return it. It will not work past 350 degrees. It smokes great, but it will not grill. The fan shuts off at 350. All the troubleshooting works fine because it never reaches that temp. As soon as it hit 350 the fan stops. Sad day. I'll be returning it. Not sure if I'll get...

    Masterbuilt 1050 Second Day (sad)

    Found the wires were rubbing the smoke stack. I used a twist tie to pull them away. That’s the only thing I could figure was causing the issue. The loin came out great. So I’m guessing it’s fixed? Hopefully.

    Masterbuilt 1050 Second Day (sad)

    Decided to do some hotdogs on the second day. I put them on 225 and got a nice color on them. I turn the temp up to 350 to crunch up some buns and get some lines on the dogs. 10 seconds in and the fan stopped working. I really don't want to return it. So, I reached out to Masterbuilt and...

    Masterbuilt 1050 First Day

    That was just before I took it off. I've been sending my mom home with my bbq for years when she comes to visit. She bought me this for my birthday. Then, she brought over a whole week's worth of meal prep for her and my dad. Tenderloin, russet taters and carrots, chicken legs, thighs, and...

    Thanks. I have decades of practice. When I teach people how to cook I always say "you have time, temp, and flavor". To make things easier write down how long each will take to smoke. Then set a timer when to add the next one. With all honesty, I have cooked more than 50 steaks at once with...

    Named it “Big Frank” after Frank Castle. I am enjoying it so much. I hope to learn more about it as I go. It’s a far cray from my old kettle.
