    How do YOU make coffee?

    #5 all the way. Record player died years ago and fell into the ease of streaming, but vinyl still rules!

    Beef Back Ribs...

    What is CPB? I've seen it mentioned a few times in the forums, but Google hasn't provided the answer. Is it an online meat seller, or something local/regional? Thanks Bird

    First Smoked Chuck Roast

    Thanks Edmonds Thanks Steve. The prime chuck was $7.49/lb, but I'm in Seattle. Everything is expensive here. I'd expect they're cheaper in other areas. Thanks Ray. Henry's trustworthy in that I can trust that when I turn my back, he's going after the food on the counter.😁 Thanks Bytor...

    What charcoal/lump do you prefer?

    In my Masterbuilt Gravity 800, I've used B&B briquette, Kingsford briquettes, Royal Oak briquettes (orange bag), and Cowboy lump. B&B briquettes and the regular Kingsford were ok. Smoke was maybe a little thicker than you'd want during the initial start up, but it would thin out after a...

    First Smoked Chuck Roast

    Many thanks to those that have come before me. Smoked my first chuck roast today and searched the site for tips on temps, time, and if/when to wrap. This is my go to strategy for almost every cook as the wealth of information here is immense, and I'm basically still a newb. Got a 4 lb prime...

    Looks great. Those onion rings are making my mouth water.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    This is basically what I do also. At those high temps, the steak gets seared so quickly that the lid is only closed for a minute or two before you have to flip. Also, to reduce grease fires, I clean the cook chamber beforehand anytime I'm going to go over 500 degrees. This makes a big...

    slaw? UPDATED BELOW

    My favorite way to step up coleslaw is to char the cabbage before shredding/chopping. Cut the head(s) into quarters and put a nice char on all sides, let cool then shred and dress as usual. It gives the cabbage a sweet nutty flavor that goes great in most recipes. I'm a big fan of making a...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    This is what I've been doing with my 800 since I got it in January. Mostly it's worked well. I've had a few times recently where I've had to use a 2nd paper towel, but I think it's been due to bad charcoal.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I bought my 800 in January and haven't had any issues with the switches over about a dozen cooks. If I recall correctly, when MB released the 800, they upgraded the charcoal grate, and they also upgraded the switches theu were using. So, I believe the 800s and new 560s/1050s have higher...

    Looking for ideas on best method for Flat Iron roast.

    Never had a flat iron roast, but I've cooked many flat iron steaks, always going for medium rare. At 2.5 lbs, I would treat like a thick cut steak and slow smoke it to 105-110, then sear the outside going for an internal temp around 125. Then rest and slice against the grain. At under $6/lb...

    Char griller gravity or masterbuilt gravity.

    I've had the MB gravity 800 since January. The griddle is option is really a great. I've used it much more than I expected. I share your concerns about the manifold rusting. I try to keep it greased up, but I'm not sure how long it will last. Hopefully, since it's designed to be...

    Covid Vaccine ?

    Got my second dose of Moderna about a month ago. 12 hours after the shot, I got moderate flu-like symptoms: fever, chills, sensitive skin. They lasted for about 36 hours. My wife didn't have any side effects other than a sore arm. I consider myself lucky that all I had to deal with was a...

    Condiments and Additions to Hot Dogs - What's your story?

    Being from Seattle, I have to be a +1 for the Seattle Dog. Cream cheese and grilled onions are the staples. I like to add jalapenos and brown mustard. Never actually make them at home. Just get them from street carts and at stadiums. At home, I'm a ketchup, mustard, diced onions and sweet...

    So does the 800. Plus any grease that dripped down into it will catch fire.
