    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    abcdefghii said: Pardon my French, but that's bullsh*t. As in, I should not have just spent $500 on a grill and have to use tinfoil to now prevent it from getting in a worse condition than it already is after only 3 uses. I would...

    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    Actually pretty sure my "cooking area" will be outside screened lanai. Plans are for lanai to have new patio furniture and fire table for cool winter nights (south of Tampa). Would like to upgrade the smoker, adding a Blackstone flattop griddle with air fryer combo, and a work storage station...

    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    Ground is being broken next week..thinking we'll be in the new home in early fall. For myself, wife and son the 560 would be plenty big..but was thinking about possibility of new neighbors and new neighborhood cookouts as well...

    Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

    I'm on the fence about the 560..I really want to upgrade from my MES 40 (Gen 2.5)..but in looking at it at Wal-Mart I wondered if the 560 sq in cooking area was enough. I could spend the extra $300 for the 1050, but would prefer to keep as much loot in my pockets as possible since I'm also in...

    Attempting my first rack

    The addiction is setting in. Already looking for recipes to improve the ribs, and trying to decide what's going in the smoker next.

    Attempting my first rack

    The label on the package said St. Louis...what exactly is a St. Louis rib for future reference?

    Attempting my first rack

    I really think what the butcher at the supermarket did was cut the meat off the bottom of the slab and packaged them as another piece of meat. I didn't notice this until I was ready to cut the membrane off and saw that there was only meat on the top side of slab. I was of the impression that the...

    Attempting my first rack

    Well this is the finished product. I need to learn to be better organized as I kept losing heat from opening door for steps 2 and 3 of 3-2-1 cooking. Also learned not to buy St.Louis style ribs...very little meat on bottom. Little too much smoke, but overall a good meal.

    Attempting my first rack

    Al...by chance are you somewhere in the Sunshine State..reason I ask is because you mentioned Publix in your perfect Ribs...I'm presently outside Tampa in Hillsborough County, having a home built in Manatee County (closer to Bradenton/Sarasota) this spring, anticipating a early fall move in date.

    Attempting my first rack

    I was going to use the 3-2-1 method as well...was planning on using hickory for smoking, apple juice for step 2, and stubbs for the final step since I'm uncertain of my bbqing talents...but seriously leaning toward Jeff's recipes for rubs and sauces in the future.

    Attempting my first rack

    As some of you know, I just joined the forum this week after a neighbor gave me his Masterbuilt Electric Smoker (Gen 2.5 based on Bear's pics). As luck would have it Winn Dixie had a BOGO sale on ribs this week so I picked up 4 slabs (@ 3.5 lbs each). Welp, after researching recipes, sauces...

    As my screen name reads...

    When I lived up there, I would make 3 or 4 trips a year to the Farmers Market. Worked for an Auto Glass Warehouse that delivered glass daily to many repair facilities in the Lehigh Valley.

    What part of PA Bear??? I was born and raised in Philly until I joined USN in 72. Retired in 93 and went back to the area until I moved to FL 6 years ago due to ailing parents.
