Chargriller tends to be better quality than Masterbuilt. Hopefully this one is similarly well made. Looks pretty similar to the Masterbuilt units in overall design.
Same here.. I have watched a couple videos of people having issues with temp spikes on these units.. They just kept climbing even with the fan off.. I want one bad but might hold off just a bit yet.I'm still pretty well set on getting a pellet grill next, but these gravity fed charcoal outfits have really grabbed my attention. I even checked the local Lowes to see if they had one of these Chargrillers in stock, but nope. Maybe a good thing, cause it might have followed me home.
One reviewer on Lowes website said his did that and the only way to get it to quit climbing was to shut the fan door. As interesting as these things are, I think standing back and watching for awhile is the best thing to do.Same here..

In your opinion why is your off set better? Looking to replace my propane unit and GF is on the table. I've gone away from off set because I don't want to babysit but I'm curious now.
I have a MB 560 and believe me (and I'm sure others here) Wood smoke flavor is not a problem. If i want low to medium smoke, I layer charcoal/wood chunks. If I want a heavier smoke I center my split in the chute and surround it with Charcoal. That's all the wood smoke you can handle throughout the cook. My regret to buying the 560 was that I didn't wait for the 1050 to come out.Wood smoke flavor.

Tom Horsman got his hands on a Char-Griller, there's some features I like better than my MB 560. Grease system and manifold look easier to clean, removing the hopper liner, are just two.
