Masterbuilt 560 grease fire
I just bought a brand new MB. First cook (prime ribeye) and I got two grease fires (yes, I cleaned the factory oils off of the grill parts before the first cook). So, yeah, it happens! I pulled the ribeye, closed the lid, and smothered the fires easily (I have the 950 series, which is...- USNA85

I had been wanting one of these gravity feed side-boxes for a while as they seem to be the perfect mix of ease/automation and great smoke. My wife got me the MB800 for an early Father's Day present and I LOVED it - for the first smoke. The second cook was for Father's Day and it wouldn't even...- USNA85
