    Wagyu Bergers - Best Method

    Happy to make some reccomendations if you're ready to dabble ;) I highly reccomend it, worth every penny of $100 to $150 to get started.

    Wagyu Bergers - Best Method

    Over the pandemic I found and fell in love with cooking A5 Wagyu steaks at home. I've now ordered enough that they send me free ground wagyu beef with my orders, so I guess its time to make some bergers. Anyone have experience with this? Thoughts on the best preperation method? Straight grill...

    Looking to Purchase a Charcoal Smoker

    This is worth mentioning again, my 560 holds a much closer temp range then my Treager. Their algorythm with the fan seems to be much more intelligent.

    Looking to Purchase a Charcoal Smoker

    Hickory log/stick in the hopper surrounded by charcoal, then another one in the ash pan when you smoke. My Homedepot had a bag of hickory logs for $20 so this should last me close to 20 cooks. I know others also close off the back vent with foil to reduce air flow. I reccomend this but...

    Looking to Purchase a Charcoal Smoker

    I own a Treager, MB Gravity, and an Akorn. I first learned to smoke on a propane cylinder smoker. IMO I get the best smoke flavor on a long smoke from the Treager, NOTE using an amazn tube which makes a world of difference. I make an overnight Brisket on the treager that gets rave reviews...

    MB Gravity with sticks in the hopper?

    Have an MB560 for a few weeks now and not getting as much smoke flavor as I would like. I have some split hickory left over that's in 12" or shorter pieces that are 2" by 3" or smaller. Had the idea to put those in the hopper vertically like columns then surround them with kingsford. Has...

    Which Gravity Smoker? Chargriller or Masterbuilt?

    Got a MB560 a few weeks ago. Have to say, I mainly got it to use for efficient charcoal searing of steaks, and it does that well with the wide bottom grates and short time to get to 700°. The bottom sort of defuses the heat as its immediately pushed to the sides to circulate. What it doesn't...

    is it worth a divorce?

    I recently found a MB560 on sale as "used" for $200, but it still had all the display stickers on it so it was assembled but never actually used. When I got it home I found out it was missing the slides, but that's a fixable problem. For me this was my 4th grill/smoker, so I understand your...

    Masterbuilt 560 - anyone have dimensions on the slides?

    So very helpful. They both go to the same model. There is a small slide (bottom) and large slide (top) for every MB Gravity series. Also worth noting that the dimensions are not listed on either link, but thanks for checking. For anyone that did read the title, and can infer that was short...

    Masterbuilt 560 - anyone have dimensions on the slides?

    A friend recently moved and decided I needed a 4th grill, so he sold me his Masterbuilt 560 for $100. When I got it home I noticed the slides are missing. To say that Masterbuilt support has been atrocious would be an understatement.. so here I am still in need of some replacements. Can...
