    You might have hit a plateau in the cook. It has to do with how much moisture is moving towards the outside from inside. Patience is best.

    The first one about Coffee hit me hard. We got evacuated last night because of the Bear Fire Complex. Oroville here. We evaced to our Daughter in Chico and I snook back in past CHP to set our animals up with food. I hooked up my lap top to see if we had WIFI (our generator is running) First...

    I did the grate mod using a Pop-up stake and a broken Phillips screw driver. It reduced my ashes to mainly just dust. I think that sometimes fuel consumption is related to how the pit is breathing (up to & including the Fire Box). I have found when I have put a lot of small fuel in the stack...

    Before I did the Grate Mod I would screen out the bigger pieces and run them back through. No reason to waste and it got good coals in the ash bucket for my chunks and chips. After the Mod it is pretty much clean ash.

    The metal right at the lower walls of the Fire Box will burn out. Don't let that bum ya. I got around 40 cooks out of my 560 before I burned them through. The Kit is heavy 12 gauge Stainless Steel and costs $100. Takes around an hour or less to switch them out. You will be glad you did. I...

    My first Butt took a lot longer than I expected. It was chilly and breezy.

    I have topped out at 780'. I replaced the Fire Box with 12 gauge Stainless Steel after I burned out the factory box.

    I screen my ashes and run the pieces back through the stack... a few here and there. This always ensures hot coals coming through to the bucket. I regulate the amount of chunks and chips in the ash bucket for the smoke. The rods sure cut down on the size. I was getting almost full size Briqs...

    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    Today I am doing some pork ribs with a Coffee Rub. It is 6 am and I am about to go start the 560. I will be using the 1-2-3 method.

    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    I cover the manifold with foil. This lasts several cooks. After I get done with a cook I run the temp up high and run it for another 10 minutes or so at sear temps. Any grease just crisps up to a char and brushes right off.

    He also sells SS rods for the grate mod but that is something you can find cheaper. Heck... I used a stake from a pop-up and a broken screwdriver. LOL Works fine.
