My 560 basically burned through the cook chamber and the controller failed. Just not built very well. This new model looks better but I will not spend $1,500 on a Masterbuilt product.
Thanks for the pics. Any idea if the area where the charcoal would be burning is insulated? I guess that would be the bottom of the hopper? On my Masterbuilt the steel burned away and exposed hard firebrick type material. Supposedly it was normal.
I think you made the right choice. $1,500 is kind of crazy for a Masterbuilt product. Not sure a porcelain cook chamber or 3 year warranty is worth that kind of cash. I'm sure the warranty does't cover the cook chamber rotting out. If it's actually thicker metal than my 560 then maybe. Your...
I have a MB 560 and have smoked many briskets. I use B&B Oak briquettes and post oak chunks in the ash bin. I smoke typically @ 275 and wrap with butcher paper around 160 internal. I've never had an issue with bark or smoke flavor.
I've had a 560 for about 3 years now. It puts out some great tasting food. However, it's not going to last as long as say, a Weber Genesis. I used mine as both grill and smoker and IMO it probably shortened its life considerably. Doing a deep clean last week and I noticed the grill body just...
I've had a 560 for 3 years and while it produces great tasting BBQ it is on its last legs. The interior is disintegrating. I regret using it as a grill as it just isn't meant for high heat IMO. It's pretty thin metal. My controller has also become non-responsive so I'm forced to use the app...
I've had a MB 560 for 3 years. It puts out some great flavor and is relatively easy to use. Blows away the flavor from my RecTeq. That being said, it is not a high quality smoker. It's pretty thin metal and I don't expect it to last too much longer. The controller has stopped responding to...
Well after 2 years and 6 months I finally have a major failure. The knob on the controller no longer responds. The buttons work but I can't change the temp. Thankfully I can with the app. I have the Home Depot 3 year extended warranty. This may be the only time I've ever used an extended...
