I saw it, don't believe it. PR spin at it's worst When that ceramic insulation is exposed to the charcoal that slides on down, the charcoal will scrape the insulation off sooner or later

This is after one month of cooks on my new 1050 grill. Burned straight through

Rex... You pulled the temporary metal off and saw behind it. What is the fluffy white insulation? Is there also a hard ceramic? How thick is it do you think?

 

[rexster314]

The fluffy white insulation is it. No firebrick or hard ceramics. Maybe 1/2" thick uncompressed

 

[Will Squared]

YOWZA !

Where do you ordering?

 

[Will Squared]

Where do you ordering?

I have a site for the 14 ga.
I will have to look the 12 ga site up.
But I think Rex has the info.

As much as I'm happy with my 560, the quality of some fairly important parts and MBs blasé response to questions is very disappointing.

7 cooks and burnt through I have the mod installed and sent the grill down the road

 

[Will Squared]

Down what road?

 

[Kevinbthgrouse]

Down what road?

I sold mine

Wow I really can’t believe Masterbuilt is so full of crap they tried to say the metal plates are there for SHIPPING and that there is a fire BRICK behind it, more like fricking house insulation! They are so obviously lying.

Thank you for this. Combined with the uneven temps across the grates this is going back to home depot immediately. I already had a chunk of metal fall off after one use I will show the manager if I have to. No way I am getting scammed by Masterbuilt.

There's something wrong with your grill. There's not much info around talking about the temp differences you're experiencing. I've checked my 560 and 1050 both with an infrared thermometer and found only about 5 degrees difference front to back and side to side.
Whatever chunk of metal you're talking about wouldn't be part of the firebox after one use, it took mine 30 days to burn out. Where did it fall from? Faulty assembly maybe? Was it assembled by you or HD? HD has a widespread history of getting it wrong in assembling these things
