    Rendering Brisket Fat

    Planning to smoke a brisket flat tomorrow. It’s small only about 6 lbs. I don’t have any tallow, but was wondering if I could save the trimmings, put them in a foil basket and render them down next to the brisket. Then when I go to wrap it, pour the rendered fat on the paper. Would that work...

    Char Griller 980 Running very high temps

    Thanks for the responses guys. I checked the flap and it was down. I poked it a few times to make sure it moved well, and then I started it up again. This time it held temps just fine. Perhaps something got stuck from delivery. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Thanks everyone.

    Char Griller 980 Running very high temps

    I just shut it down and no didn't double check the temps. After doing some more reading, it's possible the fan was continuously blowing and not shutting off when at temp. I guess there is some flap that is supposed to freely move, and it's possible it's not. Once it cools, I'm going to look...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I understand that, but it seems excessive. See the pictures. In one of the pictures I wiped my finger over some of the grates just to see the difference. I've cooked with charcoal before and it's never been like this. It's basically eating ash. How can this really be normal?

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    So I picked up the 1050 yesterday. Got around to doing my burn-in today. After round 1, I opened the lid and noticed a lot of ash coating all the grates and the inside of the lid. I figured it was the first run, so I wiped it down. And did it again. Opened the lid. Ash, same as the first...
