    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    The steaks were fantastic! I am a little bummed though I could not get the grill to its max temperature. I only seared them for 1.5 minutes per side to avoid overcooking them, but you could tell it was missing a full maillard effect

    Masterbuilt 560 extra smokey on start up

    Awesome, thank you Mike for your insight. I was thinking along the same lines of not enough air to really get the charcoal lit fast. I might pick myself up a charcoal chimney and play around with it.

    Masterbuilt 560 extra smokey on start up

    Good Day everyone, I have been a long time stalker of this forum while I messed around with my MES30. I finally pulled the trigger on a MB560 and started using it this last weekend. Overall I am very impressed with how easy this unit is to use and how stable the temperature stays. My issue...
