    BBQ Bacon Smash Burgers

    Thanks, jcam. Thanks, Gator. Bacon, cheese, mayo, BBQ sauce, and a little chopped onion is the best. Salad on the side is how I get my veggies. Thanks Ryan. Can't skip the pic of Henry, since he's sitting next to me the entire cook. Thanks, flatbroke. Thanks, jimmy. I never though...

    BBQ Bacon Smash Burgers

    It was a smash burger night at my place, also. Went the with bbq bacon version because it's my favorite. Fired up the griddle in the MB Gravity 800 and put on the bacon: After the bacon was crisp, added and smashed the burgers: Didn't get a flipped pic, but here they are after cheesed...

    I agree. My guess is that your charcoal is kicking off a lot more ash than normal. The only other thing would be if your fan is running full blast at all times. However, that would kick your temps up well over the set temp. Does the 1050 hold a steady temp? If so, when at temp, does the...

    Masterbuilt Gravity 800

    Well, that's news to me. When the 800 first came out, it was my understanding that it was exclusively sold through Walmart. You couldn't even buy it through the Masterbuilt website. In fact, their website still doesn't show it available and the only retailer they list is still Walmart. I...

    Sorry for the late response. Haven't been in the forums for a few days. To answer your questions, my griddle sits a little left of center. There's about a half inch of space on the left and about 1.5 to 2 inches of space on the right. The bottom of the griddle has two triangle shaped support...

    Your pics look good and I don't see anything wrong with your fan. I should note that i was mistaken when I said that you should be able to see the face of the fan from the ash chamber. I had forgotten that there is a rubber flap that hangs down between the fan and the chamber. Your pic looks...

    To me, it sounds like airflow the issue. If you're able to get the cook chamber up to 400 (even if it takes a long time), then your charcoal is getting lit. Once it's lit, the fan should be able to push enough air through to stoke the charcoal fire and push heat into the cook chamber, so that...

    Replace three with one?

    You can only get them thru Walmart. It appears that they're sold out online, but they're showing a couple available at a store near me (Seattle area).

    Replace three with one?

    I've got the MB 800, but also have a Weber Spirit gas grill. As others have said, the gas grill is so convenient for quick weeknight cooks. The MB 800 draws very little power once up to temp and I've been powering it with a Power Dome portable battery pack almost exclusively. After one eight...

    Ah, that makes sense. Ultra is a good description for that pic.

    Wow, what cell phone do you have? I don't think I've ever had phone that could take that pic.

    Reverse seared Tri-tip

    Thanks Jim. He's starting to learn that when the smoker gets fired up, he's gonna get a treat.

    Reverse seared Tri-tip

    Thanks. The char and mesquite smoke flabor went great with the salsa verde. Thanks. Yep, next time I'll pull earlier. Can always heat it a little longer if it's raw. Thanks. That sounds like an awesome way to cook tri tip. I'd love to have an open pit set up, but that's probably a...

    Reverse seared Tri-tip

    Thanks Ryan. At 9 months old, he's a joy and a terror.

    Reverse seared Tri-tip

    Tips were on sale at the local Safeway, so I grabbed two to reverse sear. Salted both and let them sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, then seasoned them simply with granulated garlic, onion powder, and black pepper. On the MB Gravity 800 to smoke with mesquite chunks in the chute and...

    Baby back ribs not as tender in electric smoker

    Are you sure you're at 225? If they're not as tender as you'd like you might be running a little cold. You could try turning up the temp or just cooking them longer while wrapped. I recently did my first 3-2-1 spareribs in the MB gravity 800 and they turned out just how I like them: tender...

    Well, Crap!

    Seattle is having a mini summer this week: highs in the mid to upper 70s. It's been wonderful, but I was only able to fire up the smoker once. We're about to revert back to a cool spring for the weekend: mid 50s and rainy. We might not see the sun again until June.

    Goat Leg Tacos

    Looks fantastic. How did the flavor compare to lamb or beef? The only goat meat I've ever had was in Indian dishes with strong flavors that didn't really let you taste the meat.

    Masterbuilt Gravity 800

    I'm not sure you'll be able to fit 4 racks of ribs on the main cooking surface un less they're small. The upper shelves are the same length as the main cooking surface, with about half the depth. Here's a pick of a large rack of spareribs (6.5 lbs) I cooked on the middle shelf: There's no...
