    Longer lasting grill/smoker

    I had a Masterbuilt 560 and it lasted about 4 years. I live in MN and kept it under a covered patio. I would say it's built out of inferior materials. Thin steel. I had a RecTeq prior and while it was built much better it didn't come close to producing the same flavor as the MB. If I were...

    New Masterbuilt Gravity models coming

    My 560 basically burned through the cook chamber and the controller failed. Just not built very well. This new model looks better but I will not spend $1,500 on a Masterbuilt product.

    What is your favorite Lumberjack Pellet flavor for all meats - if you had to choose one??

    100% Hickory. The blends don't produce enough smoke flavor for my tastes.

    New Masterbuilt Gravity models coming

    Masterbuilt’s controllers are their Achilles heel. Every MB product I’ve owned has had a controller failure.

    LSG or?

    Check out the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro. It has a smokebox that you can add wood and/or charcoal to.

    Oklahoma Joe Tahoma 900 (Pics, Assembly, burn-in)

    Thanks for the pics. Any idea if the area where the charcoal would be burning is insulated? I guess that would be the bottom of the hopper? On my Masterbuilt the steel burned away and exposed hard firebrick type material. Supposedly it was normal.

    Oklahoma Joe Auto-Feed Charcoal Smoker

    True but this has a different hopper design. It’s slanted vs 100% vertical.

    Oklahoma Joe Auto-Feed Charcoal Smoker

    Throw wood chunks in the hopper.

    Oklahoma Joe Auto-Feed Charcoal Smoker

    Tahoma 900. I thought Masterbuilt had a patent on gravity feed charcoal. https://www.oklahomajoes.com/tahoma-900

    New Masterbuilt Gravity models coming

    I think you made the right choice. $1,500 is kind of crazy for a Masterbuilt product. Not sure a porcelain cook chamber or 3 year warranty is worth that kind of cash. I'm sure the warranty does't cover the cook chamber rotting out. If it's actually thicker metal than my 560 then maybe. Your...

    I'm ready to upgrade from my Camp Chef Pellet to an gravity fed...would like some experiences

    I don't know. Char-Griller isn't exactly known for quality.

    Costco no longer has the MB900.

    They announced the "SmokeStone"- wood fired griddle and the "DualFire"- a dual chambered grill.

    New RecTeq models

    They showed 3 new grills today. Two more tomorrow. Nothing ground breaking but they look a little more modern. We'll see about the other two tomorrow.

    where did the smoke go??

    I have a MB 560 and have smoked many briskets. I use B&B Oak briquettes and post oak chunks in the ash bin. I smoke typically @ 275 and wrap with butcher paper around 160 internal. I've never had an issue with bark or smoke flavor.

    Masterbuilt Gravity 1050? - First Smoker?

    I've had a 560 for about 3 years now. It puts out some great tasting food. However, it's not going to last as long as say, a Weber Genesis. I used mine as both grill and smoker and IMO it probably shortened its life considerably. Doing a deep clean last week and I noticed the grill body just...

    Masterbuilt, Gravity 800 series

    I've had a 560 for 3 years and while it produces great tasting BBQ it is on its last legs. The interior is disintegrating. I regret using it as a grill as it just isn't meant for high heat IMO. It's pretty thin metal. My controller has also become non-responsive so I'm forced to use the app...

    I'm ready to upgrade from my Camp Chef Pellet to an gravity fed...would like some experiences

    I've had a MB 560 for 3 years. It puts out some great flavor and is relatively easy to use. Blows away the flavor from my RecTeq. That being said, it is not a high quality smoker. It's pretty thin metal and I don't expect it to last too much longer. The controller has stopped responding to...
