    Any Masterbuilt Gravity 1050 users know of any rack extenders, besides Klotes or lss?

    $175 for two racks is a bit steep, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a much cheaper alternative, if one exists.

    What do you guys think of my game plan for a hot and fast brisket for tomorrow?

    I'm using a masterbuilt gravity 1050, for reference. Smoker to 275 degrees Half Pickle Juice and half Mustard binder Put generous amount of rub (Trying out John Lewis's, hence the pickle juice and mustard binder) Fat down towards heat source After about an hour, start spraying with apple...

    Hot and fast brisket not stalling.

    Hey, all. Decided to go with a hot and fast brisket at 300 and put the packer on at 930am this morning. It's been 5 hours and the brisket is at 183 on one probe and 170 on another. I haven't seemed to hit a stall yet. Is this normal? Should I wait to wrap? Should I wrap anyways? Is a wrap needed...

    First time smoking a full packer brisket tomorrow. Going with the hot & fast route. What can I expect? Any tips/pointers?

    This is my rough plan of what to do and expect: 275-300 degrees Mustard binder Sprinkle with rub Fat down towards heat source Wrap in butcher paper at stall, usually around 160-170, as long as bark looks good Finished when probe tender and jiggly Rest for at least an hour in cooler...

    Want to give hot and fast brisket a try. For those who do this what do you recommend?

    With hot and fast, should I inject and/or wrap the brisket at all? Or should I follow a low and slow recipe, with just higher temperature and quicker cook times?

    How much wood should I use in my Masterbuilt gravity?

    Couldn't find a definitive answer regarding wood amount to use. Some say the meat stops absorbing flavor after the first hour or two and some use wood all throughout the cook, so I'm not sure what to do. Am I better off using 1-5 palm sized chunks in the beginning of the smoke (depending on cook...

    Where do you guys get your wood chunks from?

    Is there a difference between the cheap bags at the big box stores and chunks from a farm or similar? If so, where do you guys get your chunks from?

    Charcoal and wood in Masterbuilt gravity hooper on fire

    As I'm writing this, the inside of my hopper is on fire and I don't know what I did wrong. I've used this smoker multiple times before and never had this happen, and tonight everything is in flames. I don't know if it's because I dumped the last of my wood chunks, or if it's because I'm nearing...

    Is my 1050 going through lump too quickly?

    FYI, this is my first time ever using lump. Anyone able to comment on burn time with royal oak lump? I feel like I'm getting less than impressive burn time in my 1050, as I've done about 15-20 hours of cooks and I'm already almost done with my 30lb bag. I do use about 2-3 layers of wood...

    Should I freeze my meatloaf before putting it on the smoker?

    https://natashaskitchen.com/meatloaf-recipe/ This is the recipe in question. I'm hoping to be able to put it directly on the grates but I'm worried about it falling through. Should I let it sit in the freezer for a few hours before putting it to smoke?

    Spareribs smoke at 225 but drumsticks smoke at 300. What's the best way to approach this?

    I'm hoping to make some spareribs and drumsticks next weekend, but the ribs cook at 225 for 5 hours and the drumsticks cook at 300 for a half on each side, obviously both internal temperature dependent. What's the best way for me to approach this cook? I was thinking cook the ribs for 4 hours...

    Best way to prep and smoke ribeye?

    I've never smoked ribeye before and I'm thinking about doing some this weekend, but wasn't sure what the best way to prep and cook it was. Any suggestions you guys can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Finally finished my bags of Kingsford briquettes, so I figured now is the time to try out a new fuel source, but had a few questions..

    I've got a gravity smoker. I'm not sure if that matters, but figured I'd mention it just in case. Also, this is mainly used as a smoker, but I also grill with it. I've been using the Kingsford briquettes since I got it and finally ran out, and was looking into trying out some other brands. I...

    Where can I buy wood chunks for a decent price?

    Just got my very first charcoal smoker, so I'm excited to try it out and want to be sure I have everything on hand. Where can I find wood chunks for a good price? I see a bunch on eBay, but not sure how well they're priced or how sketchy buying wood from eBay is, lol. Any help you guys can...

    Torn between a pellet smoker and a gravity smoker. What do you guys think?

    Debating between a Traeger Pro Series and a Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050. The gravity smoker seems like the obvious better choice, but it seems like the quality isn't as good? Not really sure of any other pros and cons when comparing them to one another. Can anyone, with some knowledge of...

    Can anyone provide some tips and tricks for keeping the A-MAZE-N pellet tray lit in my electric smoker?

    I can't get the pellets to stay lit consistently. I think I've had one smoke where it stayed lit the entire time, which was a short cook (about 3 hours), but other than that I've had the pellets die out after about an hour or so. Yesterday, I had a bit of a different issue. I did only one row...

    Tips to keep the A-MAZE-N pellet tray consistently lit up in my electric smoker?

    Idk if I microwaved my pellets for too long, since I microwaved them for 2 minutes, stirred and then microwaved for another two minutes. When torching them, they light up on top and turn black quickly, but I can never get the pellets glowing underneath. It just seems like the tops catch fire...
