    Brisket Egg Rolls

    That's insane! I have not logged on in awhile and then I see this. First class and well done. I am going to try it with the leftovers from this superbowl brisket that I am cooking today.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    There are 3 different racks so you will see different temps on lower versus middle/upper. I recommend using a separate probe next to your cook so you can monitor the real temps but with that, adjust the controller on the grill and it will stay steady. Very effective with temps

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Agree that most are happy and the picture shown includes a mod that per MasterBuilt is not supported for those reasons. Machine smokes great to answer some other people's questions. No off smell and it is important to burn off the oil when prepping and seasoning for the first time.

    Help me buy my first smoker

    Have you looked at the Masterbuilt gravity series. It is a smoker that uses charcoal and includes a controller. It is not a top end choice but either are the MES'. It depends on how much you want fire vs. electric but it is close in terms of being automatic/controlled

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Great pizza but honestly I also have great pizza on the Weber Kettle. Here is my recent MB 560 Pizza

    I havent heard of any probes that fit. I have a lot of different one's and none of them fit

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Best way to cook burgers IMO. Smashburger. A cast iron and an iron weight over top of the burger also works well

    Smoked Pretzel rolls -

    Saw a post on a forum about smoking pretzel rolls on a MasterBuilt 560 so I gave it a try yesterday. Came out great and I used the roll to make a brisket sandwich with pickled red onions. The slice/cross on top was a little large but it was a first time trying this. I used Hickory as the...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I think the 560 replaces any smoker/charcoal combo. I would not compare it with the ease of gas so I keep our Weber Gas in the rotation, especially for my college kids that don't have time for the 560 or the Weber Kettle. They appreciate both and let me operate those

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    The 560 is legitimate and can easily cook 12 burgers with the 3 racks but I wouldn't say this grill/smoker's the #1 choice for hamburgers. I wouldn't want the fat on the heat manifold and additional cleaning so I would personally pull out the Weber Kettle for those cooks. The 2 top racks on...

    Last week quarantine brisket

    That looks great but you might want to double check that you are cutting across the grain. From the pics, it looks with the grain. I'm sure I am wrong but wanted to mention it just in case it helps out

    MasterBuilt Gravity 560!

    560 is still doing well and I have a brisket in the cooler now that will be ready for dinner! - I don't have any problem with the top hopper lid and gasket. I just keep the area free of charcoal bits which can happen when you pour in the coal/lump - The charcoal does fall through the grate...

    MasterBuilt Gravity 560!

    I think it is a mixed bag but new comers definitely see this 560 as an easy entry point and they seem to be grabbing them up. I also read posts from many other experienced cooks/smokers and there are many that move from the pellet over to this 560. I don't think you will have a ton of diehard...

    MasterBuilt Gravity 560!

    They probably would have sent you a new temp controller for the 560. I use an iPhone and outside of user "process" initially, this thing works excellent and is part of the benefits of this grill. I am sure Fireboard is an alternate option but I would throw out this grill if the main controller...

    MasterBuilt Gravity 560!

    Long time user of the Weber kettle for smoking but wanted some temp control to aid in overnight smokes. I bought a lava lock controller for the kettle and have had some great results. Fast forward to a week ago and I learned of this Masterbuild 560 gravity feed... charcoal smoker. I found...

    Pizza on the kettle

    Made pizza on the Weber kettle using the pizzaQ. Comes out better each time we try this and I think we are at the point where we this will be one of our go to Q cooks. We buy the dough still and can probably do better if we can make it ourself to dial it in further. we made a couple this...

    Steak taste test

    We had a taste test for a few steaks tonight; 1) Wagyu 2) Dry age NY strip 3) Choice Ny strip 4) Pork chop family voted for the Wagyu unanimously. Mixed reviews on the dry age from 2 of the 4 voting. The ny strips were sous vide and then seared over 600 degree coals. Wagyu was cooked on cast...

    Another Brisket

    Great looking brisket. I might have to try using the oven like you did following the stall. Your brisket looks juicy... did you inject it? That's a lot of juice especially since the paper doesn't hold juice like foil

    Prime ribeye - suggestions include cook

    Suggestions to cook this 18 pound ribeye for Xmas dinner? I am leaning towards either sous vide with sear (cast iron pan or Weber kettle charcoal) or using a rotisserie on my Weber gas grill. other ideas?
