    Which gravity smoker?

    I've got an MB 1050 that I got for Father's day last year. I love it. I've done a bunch of butts, steaks and lots of chicken as well as a lot of veggie skewers. I think that the 1050 is as small as I'd want to go.

    Possessed Fireboard 2

    While I don't have the same board that you do, I did toast some probes by getting the wires too hot while reverse searing some steaks. So I do know that you can kill the probes and that they'll give you all kinds of weird readings. In my case, the smoker was at about 220 degrees, but the probes...

    MB Gravity 1050 ash bin door switch

    If the door isn't pushing the button all the way in, and the door is in alighment, then you could tape or glue a little spacer to the door where it touches the button so it would push the button farther in. That has the advantage of being quick, easy, and cheap. You could use a penny, or a...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Begging your pardon, Blackadar, but I believe that you're incorrect on the terms of Masterbuilt's warranty. It's a full year, and is explained in full on their website: https://www.masterbuilt.com/pages/warranty

    Masterbuilt 1050 Vent Damper

    Yeah, but I spent money on it, so it MUST be better! :emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing:

    Masterbuilt 1050 Vent Damper

    Now this is nothing more than conjecture on my part, but I THINK that being able to shut down the size of the vent on the back of the pit forces the smoke to spend more time in the pit and therefore more time in contact with the meat that's cooking in there, which SHOULD inpart more of a smokey...

    Masterbuilt 1050 Vent Damper

    I don't have the LSS one, but I did get one from Klotesmods, and I really like it. It took about 15 minutes to install, and that included looking for two screws that I dropped in the process. https://klotesmods.com/collections/1050-mods/products/1050-rear-vent-slide Standard disclaimers...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I got the WAITCOOK ones from Amazon. They work as long as you're doing slow and low, but I killed three of them when I reverse seared some ribeyes. I had threaded the wires in through the little port on the side, and when I jacked up the heat to do the sear, instead of removing them...

    Masterbuilt gravity 800

    One of the warehouse clubs (Costco or Sam's) has an 800 that comes without the griddle and manifold. There was some discussion about it on here in the last couple of weeks. Someone at Masterbuilt stuck your shipping label on an 800 that was supposed to go to the warehouse store instead of...

    Masterbuilt gravity 800

    I think that tone has a lot to do with response times, or at least it seems to with me. Being gracious to the customer service folks, regardless of which company you're dealing with, always seems to pay dividends. People who are treated politely and respectfully seem to want to help more than...

    Masterbuilt gravity 800

    If you're getting an Oracle error message, then try a different internet browser. If that fails as well, then the problem is probably at their end. Give it a while and try again. Just out of curiosity, where did you order your 800 from? I think I read where some places sell the 800 without...

    MB Gravity add-on question

    Has anybody got the Hybrid Manifold Cover/Waterpan from Klotesmods? https://klotesmods.com/collections/1050-mods/products/1050-hybrid-manifold-cover-waterpan If so, what do you think of it? I've been using a throw away aluminum roaster pan on the grill and cooking on the two shelves, but I'm...

    Biggest pizza I have ever seen!

    Yep, the guy is the king of big food. He's got a chain of restaurants in Turkey and a bunch of videos making all kinds of things. Looks like he makes a mean cheeseburger too, LOL.

    The best part about the frozen pizzas was that we didn't heat up the kitchen to cook 'em. :emoji_sunglasses:
