    120-flip 120-flip 120-flip 120-flip

    At 57 I still can't reliably reproduce a perfect steak. The best I've been doing recently is the 120-flip method, starting with a nice thick steak: sear 120 seconds, then flip sear 120 seconds, then flip sear 120 seconds, then flip sear 120 seconds, then done Sometimes I reduce the last 2...

    How to season a mild steel cooking grate?

    I am having a custom mild steel cooking grate made for my smoker. At what temp do you suggest I season it? I think once I get it seasoned it will be OK because I usually do not bother cleaning my smoker cooking grates and the accumulation of fat keeps everything coated real nice :emoji_smiley:

    Recs for good value cabinet smoker?

    I really like a horizontal rack system - meaning I can put my brisket or ribs on left to right and not front to rear like i see a lot of these cabinet smokers do. But do like the idea of running a charcoal firebox and using a thermometer/fan system to maintain temps.

    Denver steak - grill or smoke them?

    Grilled one for lunch direct over coals. It was a tad chewy regardless of the direction I cut it. Wasn't as tender as I expected given the marbling.

    Denver steak - grill or smoke them?

    I bought a pack of Denver Steaks that look pretty well marbled. Any suggestions to cook? Seeing mixed advice online, some say a great cut to grill and others suggesting they can be tough.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 - one year in

    This makes no sense. I don't see how you couldn't solve this as there is no complicated wizardry here. If the fan runs and there is something burning in the firebox then heat WILL blow from the fan into the firebox and back out into the cooking chamber. Unless you have the path blocked by...

    Recs for good value cabinet smoker?

    I like smoking with charcoal and lump and have a steady supply of quality splits/chunks. What's a good value priced retail cabinet smoker for a backyard bbq'er? Currently using a MB800 but getting that itch to move on to something else. Want enough space to do 4 racks of ribs, or 2 briskets (not...

    Extra layer of fat and meat sometimes on spareribs?

    In my area I usually have to buy cryovac multi-packs of spareribs so can't get a good look at each rack to try and get something with relatively even thickness. Lately I've received racks that seem to have an extra layer of fat and then meat on top and these never cook well for me. That fat...

    Separating flat and point

    I'm tired of watching my flats temp past 208+ while my point is still in the mid 190's. I feel like it causes my flats to be dry while the point is still finishing. I want to give a try at separating the point from the flat for a couple smokes and see how it goes. Should I split and cook...

    MB Gravity with sticks in the hopper?

    I feel like an upright split has caused my charcoal to burn up even faster when i do this. I just stuck to chunks

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 - one year in

    I am 3 months into owning my 800 and have about 20 low and slow smoking sessions accomplished. I like it a lot and thus purchased 3 mods to aid in further enjoyment (extended table, firebox liner, rear vent). I have followed forums, etc. a lot and agree the manufacturer has left a lot to be...

    MB Gravity with sticks in the hopper?

    Yes. I don't like it but I don't think you can avoid it with the fan pushing in fresh oxygen. I hope it goes out and just smokes some of the time. I do notice my chunks burn down pretty fast. I have 2 racks of ribs on right now and a baseball size chunk of hickory was burnt up easily in an hour.

    Charcoal and wood in Masterbuilt gravity hooper on fire

    How do you know you have this fire? The hopper lid should remain closed. If you open it then air will flow up and the flame will follow the path to oxygen. Keep the hopper lid closed.

    Masterbuilt 800 wifi and bluetooth question

    the wifi only allows your device and the controller to communicate over wifi when both devices are on the same local network. It isn’t designed to monitor when you leave home and try to do it remotely.
