Master of the Pit
U know I usually connect my samsung galaxy 9 with wifi not sure if it makes a difference. I also notice if I use other apps it freaks it out sometimes. I admit the app could have been done better.
I doubt I will be moving away from my pellet pooper anytime soon. I have a need for a new grill and this 560 looks like it will be what I'm looking for. Smoking and grilling are a bonus for me. Due to the crazy period in my life I actually have 3 places I like to have a smoker and grill at. #3 is 1200 miles away and I need a grill and smoker there.
"Discovered" the 560 two days ago while doing research on pellet machines and have been reading/watching about it ever since. I'm looking to upgrade from my MBE 30. I've been pretty pleased with that, not built like a tank or anything and the Bluetooth tech isn't outta this world but the machine did a nice job for the money. I am not a pit master by any means and the 560 seems perfect. I really like that I can save myself $500 (over Rectec, Camp Chef, etc).
Main thing is disliked about the MBE is it was a pain to clean. Is the 560 easy to clean?
Can someone who has this machine explain the door/reset issue? I hadn't read about that. Also how about the charcoal chute door gasket? Neither issue would stop me from buying, just want to understand.
Any other issues anyone is seeing?
Thanks!
I like the comparison of the 560 to a VW for all the reasons you pointed out. For the $ impossible to beat.The Weber is like the VeeDub of smokers... practical, reliable, economical.
The 560 is like moving up to a Shelby Cobra !
The 560 or 1060 is worth the money. They are magnificent machines.Thanks, and I’m really leaning toward this grill, as it seems to be the best option for smoking and high temp grilling.
Can you provide a link to the stainless steel fix? Thanks!The 560 or 1060 is worth the money. They are magnificent machines.
I have had mine since January and have done maybe 60 cooks.
It is incredibly versatile.
I have even sterilized soil for my wife's seedlings... 45 minutes @ 190' !
I don't see the creosote build up (aka peeled paint) as a problem.
One issue that you will have is replacing the firebox with Stainless Steel.
There is a guy that makes the kits and it is a pretty easy fix.
This is a brand new product and we are working out the bugs.
