    I mean in terms of smokers it is a real smoker lol ( wood+ charcoal = smoke) I get what your saying though. If your comparing the flavor you'd get between a pellet and an offset smoker its way closer to a offset smoke if not pretty much the same IMO. You have the benefit of adjusting how much...

    I’m not sure if I’m annoyed or impressed but I started a 16.25# brisket last night around 7pm and the thing was done by 9Am cooking on average around 235. Looking at a graph of the cook this thing plowed throw the low temp stall and hung out at 180 for 2 hours before being done. I wasn’t...

    Man it’s gotta be your fuel. I can can say the kingsford competition and frontier lump had that problem for me as well. I just kept buying different brands till i found what works in my cooker. Also maybe try a brick wrapped in foil to help maintain temp so your fan doesn’t kick on all the time...

    Yupp skewer mods really all you need. I’ve used this thing a lot since April and tried most of the available charcoal in my area I can say surprisingly I’ve had the best luck with the cheap bags of Ridges briquettes from Lowe’s . For some reason it last the longest and burns down to nothing.

    Make sure your two year old doesn’t unplug it. Gets mine at least 3 times a cook. Check your wires that are nearest to any heat source and see if there’s a melty looking one that could be shorting it out as the heat rises. Otherwise keep poking MB I’m going to guess it’s still in warranty...

    That probe plugs into a 6 probe WiFi thermometer unit not the grill itself. Don’t recall the make of it, it was just a cheap $50 China knock off from amazon gets the job done though.

    I usually cook on the 2nd second grate in the 1060 or else stuff cooks pretty fast. I’ve mounted a probe in the middle of the smoker to better monitor the temps typically it runs about 10-15 degrees higher than what the controller says. I’ve also noticed it usually takes about an hour for the...

    :emoji_thumbsup: possibly the cheapest and easiest mod that helps to save on fuel. I'm hardly seeing any chunks in my ash bin anymore since i did that. I cut the curled portion of two 1/4" kabob skewers off and used those.

    Just out of curiosity how is everyone storing your smoker from the elements? Cover/ no cover keeping it indoors when not in use? I haven’t inspected mine for issues like this yet I’m just curious if there’s a common theme of if it’s developing these problem areas due to the level of protection...

    X2 to this. Mine works flawlessly I do the same process. I’ve left my house checked the temp and adjusted while out and about WiFi works like it should. I have a old iPhone 6 I think the key is having a very good WiFi signal to begin with. For some context, I have a orbi router setup so I’m...

    I believe there’s merit to not filling the hopper all the way if your not cooking for a long time. I was scratching my head to on why it uses a lot of fuel on a short cook. Last time before I fired it up to grill some sausages I checked the hopper and it had just enough left where I could see...

    Anyone upgrade the castors yet? I need something that can handle uneven/ gravel better since I roll mine in and out of my garage everytime

    Might be some truth that that mine updated this weekend and I use a iPhone. Just a note if your mid cook you might want to hold off on hitting the update button on the app until the end because it stops the controller during the update and you’ll have to reset the temp and timer if you have one...

    It doesn’t. Made a Buffalo style pizza (thick and doughy) last night at 700 ish. Came out great cooked all the way through. Naples style would be no problem as long as you give your stone ample time to heat up

    I mostly use the chunks in mine. With the exception of the Jack Daniels oak barrels in chips I’ll throw a fistful in the ash bucket if I want to cook with that. You have to add them more frequently but they work.

    Smoked some ribs Friday and really tested its heat retention. The weather turned mid day and it started raining for the rest of the evening. Since I was determined to have ribs for dinner I rolled it just outside of my garage so that it was getting rained on but I wasn’t and let it rip. 45...
