    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    I assembled it myself, the piece of metal was definitely from the fire box because I checked it right after seasoning it and there was already chipping, then when I loaded the charcoal again for my first smoke it scraped a piece off into the ash bucket. Nothing else was chipping and the piece...

    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    Ok “bro” no need to have thin skin because I criticized your grill. Most people just went by MB saying there is a fire brick behind it which is a straight up lie so maybe you are ok with it but you don’t speak for everyone.

    Interesting. Well at this point it might be better to take chance because that insulation does not look like it will hold up from repeated scraping of the charcoal. The current “shipping panels” aren’t air tight so if moisture is going to get in it will get in with the stock set up anyway.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I was wondering if the water pan had anything to do with it. I will try it without. Thanks for the tip! I also ordered the mod for the firebox, that youtube video of the so called “fire brick” behind the “shipping panels” is disturbing. If I can fix both these issues I‘d be like a kid at Christmas.

    Where did you see that? I looked it up but can’t find any info on the mod warping.

    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    Wow I really can’t believe Masterbuilt is so full of crap they tried to say the metal plates are there for SHIPPING and that there is a fire BRICK behind it, more like fricking house insulation! They are so obviously lying. Thank you for this. Combined with the uneven temps across the grates...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    So I made a post on this yesterday but figured I’d add it to this thread, but I am having a huge temp swing from the left to the right side of the 560 to the point the much thicker end of my spare ribs came out fall off the bone while the thinner end was very under cooked. That has to be a hell...

    Ribs problem on Masterbuilt 560, hotspots?

    Yes I got pull back especially on the thick end, one bone literally fell out as I moved the meat around. However the bones in the middle of the rack only had slight pullback, like 1/4 inch, and they were still kind of tough when probing it, but what I still don’t get is why the thicker part was...

    Ribs problem on Masterbuilt 560, hotspots?

    Yeah I know about the hotspots at grate level that’s why I did it on the top most rack and used a water pan so I’m surprised it still happened. These ribs were 3 pounds too. I’ll try rotating to see if that helps. It must be a hell of a hot spot to have this at the top most rack with the thick...

    Ribs problem on Masterbuilt 560, hotspots?

    Hello everyone, So after reading all the great info on here I finally decided to make an account. I just purchased a Masterbuilt 560 after previously smoking on a Weber kettle because I want to get into more serious BBQing. I just did my first smoke on it yesterday with St. Louis spare ribs...
