    His Mod Kit has four separate plates and is 12 gauge. Another mod I saw was welded as a box and was 14gauge. It is better to piece the plates back in. They fit like a glove.

    The 560 has some bugs to work out but it is a revolutionary Machine. There are a few tweeks but Guys here will help you through. I have had mine since January and have done maybe 50 cooks. I LOVE MINE ! It is very versatile. I can hold low temps @ 155' and have used it to Dry. Like I might...

    I don't get it. Why are you smoking your brisket in Cincinnati if you are in Florida?

    I had some big pieces in a bag of Mesquite Lump and my last burn I experimented and put a large Lump Log vertical in the hopper. I had Briqs around it (mostly along one side). It burned fine. I have ran straight Oak fire wood (cut down to Chunk size) in my 560... Did a Pizza. You can burn just...

    I use the MB probe but an independent probe as well to double check. I use a pocket probe to check occasionally and check for finish. You will have different temps in different areas within the Cook Zone. My top shelf is a lot cooler. The MP probe is reading at the head of the manifold. I can...

    Beef... Whole- Half- Quarter

    I was asking our Butcher about halves and quarters and he said now is not the best time of year for N. Cal. I asked him about origin (we have a lot of cattle around here) and he said he shops for the best price and quality and it could come from OR one week and NY the next. ALL US Beef ! No...

    With a $100 for the Fire Box mod it is still much less than $1300 for a Trager. I would stick with the Grav Feed. The 12 Gauge Mod is really simple. You Can Do This ! I have a Hot Rodder past where you leave Nothing stock !

    I just used two 1/4" SS rods. That was enough.

    I wove two rods into the charcoal grate and it provides a more thorough burn of my fuel. That might help. A real simple mod.

    Masterbuilt 560

    Pulled a Pork Ribs out of the freezer... Planned to do a 3-2-1 on it but it was done by the end of the 2 hrs. Cooked @ 200' then 220', apple chunk, Kinders Buttery Steakhouse rub, mild Chipotle BBQ sauce. OMG it was soooo good ! Wife made asparagus, toasted pecan, celery side dish. I LOVE my 560 !

    We got hit by a sudden rain. I was running to cover things when it was @700' so I blinked for a minute and the IT was a little higher than I like but it was just fine.

    Just a thought... Do some cooks with no smoke wood, just Briqs or Lump. See if it smooths out. When you go back to smoke wood, use less and go with a milder wood, like apple or pecan. To me Cherry has a very distinct taste and I use it mostly for pork. If I use Hickory or Mesquite I go light of...

    Are you talking hickory reside in the smoker taints the next cook? I hadn't noticed that but I use mostly Apple and Cherry and can tell between those. I baked a pizza with Oak chunks and could really tell that... kind of a leathery taste, but it did not affect following cooks. I use Pecan to...
