Anyone use the masterbuilt 560??

[Kevinbthgrouse]

Pardon my French, but that's bullsh*t.

As in, I should not have just spent $500 on a grill and have to use tinfoil to now prevent it from getting in a worse condition than it already is after only 3 uses.

I'm in the same boat just giving the advice I was given

Sorry, yeah my comment was not directed specifically to you. Just a general comment that it is ridiculous and really poor quality for owners to be having to resort to that after barely using the thing for what it was designed for.

I would have to agree with these comments...I would be pretty salty if I just paid $500 for a smoker only to have paint issues this quick. Does anyone know if there have been similar issues on the 1050?

Here's what you do: Scrape that crud off to where the metal is smooth. Then start cooking. I can pretty much guarantee you that it will reappear. Don't put foil over it. It's a buildup of creosote. It does the same thing on my 6' stick burner in places. When you have hot smoke mixed with heat, that's the result. Do the test and get back with me

Mine is paint I scraped it off but I don't care I'll season it like the grates

Fun Fact about creosote...
This is what they make Liquid Smoke from.

While I am fine to do this, my concern is the small piece I scraped off already, bare metal is visible underneath. If it is just creosote, then great, but would creosote strip the paint? Anything recommended to scrape it off? I had read heating it up first helps to get it off of there.

I also wipe after using it and if there is any moisture

I'm not sure what I'll do if it rusts..cooking oil?

Grape Seed oil and Avocado oil have the highest smoke point. Peanut oil is up there too.

No food goes in that area so not sure if I'll do anything besides clean it...

 

[Will Squared]

I just scrape mine and Smoke On.

Do you have any of the damage I've seen where the walls have burned through

 

[negolien]

We have ashtrays at work that are covered metal pans basically and low and behold the same thing happens on the underside of the lid.. Just sayin...

From what I have seen of Masterbuilt they are a very good Company and will stand behind their product.
I am a fan.
