    MB gravity fed 1050 - creosote buildup in smoker box?

    I've had my 1050 for roughly two years and it's been pretty solid. However, there is a lot of black, flakey, bubbly buildup in the smoker box. I assume this is creosote but I'll defer to you experts. What causes this and what should I do about it? Do I scrape it out somehow or just let it go...

    What to do when half a butt is done, the other is not?

    I've run in to this a few times and have been meaning to post. I've had a few butts where half the butt (let's say left side) is probe tender but the other side is running a few degrees cooler and not quite done. Do you just leave it on longer or do you take it off the smoker at that point...

    Smoker temp dropped - pork butt - safe to eat?

    Morning and happy super bowl weekend! Put on a 10lb butt last night around 7pm in a MB Gravity 1050. My thermoworks signal wasn't plugged in all the way apparently and the battery died so my alerts didn't go off and wake me up. The charcoal ran out around 2:15AM. Looks like temps ran steady...

    2 butts cooked at the same time, same method, different results

    Thanks for any ideas/thoughts on this as I’m scratching my head a bit. I’m still pretty new to this (5th smoke) and so far really thrilled with the results on butts and ribs. Last night was a bit of a weird deal so wanted some insight. Placed an order for an 8-9lb butt at local grocery...

    MB Gravity 1050 ash bin door switch

    Hi all, Mid - smoke of a pork butt my temps started dropping. No matter what I tried the fan would not turn on. The issue is the switch on the ash bin door unfortunately. If I physically hold the switch down (with the door open) or close the door and physically clamp it closed with my hands...

    Newly purchased Masterbuilt 1050, first smoke - running in to issues

    Hello all - First time smoker here and just purchased an MB1050. Pretty pumped for my first pork butt planned for tomorrow. I went through the seasoning steps yesterday and ran in to some concerns that I'm not sure what to do about. Here's what I've experienced: Seasoning session 1...
