    Chargriller Flat Iron?

    I'm in the market for a flat top grill to go with my Weber gas grill and Gravity fed smoker. I see 95% of people are sporting a Blackstone or Camp Chef. Only thing I can find in my area right now (MN) is the Chargriller 4 burner 36" for $300. Anyone have any experience with it? I can only find...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I use these: Link 1 square in the hopper starter and half a square in the ash pan with the leftover charcoal and wood from the last cook. Light them up and 3 min later lock everything down. Never not worked....

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Isn't the entire video about the 1050? I'm confused by your comment. Do you mean that the 1050 hasn't been upgraded? If so, that isn't true. It has been modified slightly with quality of life changes.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I've been having pretty poor luck with putting wood directly in the hopper layered in with charcoal (lump or briquettes). It just isn't consistent. It seems best if you add say 4in+ of charcoal, then a few pieces of smoke wood, then more charcoal, then more smoke wood. This allows the wood to...

    Correct. And mine was at 225...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    This was likely it. When I opened the hopper, there was so much moisture on the top. These were chunks from Menards in a bag. Seems odd they'd have that much moisture in them.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Interesting. Anyone using only the bottom ash collector for wood and leaving the main chute for briquettes / lump only? I've had decent success by leaving some of the larger chunks of charcoal in the ash bin and then throwing a few chunks of wood. By the time the wood starts smoldering /...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Last cook, I had my 1050 at 225 degrees with a half full hopper of Kingsford competition briquettes and a few chunks of hickory thrown in. After a short bit (20 min or so), I was getting horrible thick, white smoke. I opened up the top of the hopper to let it escape there instead of getting on...

    I also would like more details: 1. How big of a split are you using? 2. How did it impact cook time per full hopper?

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    When do you add to the ash bin? Right away or after it has time to drop some hot coals down?

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I've been throwing some wood chunks (cherry, hickory or apple) in the hopper with the lump or briquettes and then some in the ash bin as well. I'm wondering how you all are doing it? If you just toss some in the ash bin before it is heated up and ash is falling? Or do you do it only after a few...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Not really. I got it after it started warming up here. It eats through charcoal briquettes though (I tried the Kingsford Competition from Costco). It does pretty good with the lump charcoal though (tried the B&B Oak from Ace). I didn't even use a full hopper in 6 hours smoking between 225 and...

    I'm in the metro area of MN as well. Menards listed the 980 for a while (never in stock) and now have pulled the listing. Lowes also lists it, but they are never in stock and don't know when stock will be coming. I sold off my RecTec RT-700 and bought the 1050 a couple weeks ago. I went to Home...

    Requesting opinion on Recteq RT-700 Bull from owners

    I owned the RT-700 for 2 years and just sold it about a month ago. My first smoker was an electric Masterbuilt and using pellets in a maze. The RT-700 clearly blows that away. The temperature consistency is pretty incredible and there is very little variability in the temps across the entire...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    This must have been it (getting low on briquettes). It was the end of the smoke and was only a thin layer left in the hopper. Just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with it!

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I was smoking some chuck roast at 235 degrees today and when I went to go temp them, I opened the lid and there was some huge flames coming from the right side (where the firebox links to the ash bin area). I opened the top of the charcoal hopper and looked in and the whole thing was a blaze of...

    New Chargriller Gravity Fed Grill

    How much charcoal are these using at say 250 degrees (lbs per hour)?

    Masterbuilt Gravity 1050 Charcoal Consumption

    It can fit 16lbs in the hopper, so that means about 2lbs per hour at 225 degrees. Is that what they advertise?

    Masterbuilt Gravity 1050 Charcoal Consumption

    If you read my posts, I'm not spreading disinformation. I said that my experience appears to be contradictory to others'. The whole point of the thread is to have people who own it (like yourself) post how much charcoal they use to see if mine might have a problem. You came in, said "we are...
