Thanks Tom. I think I'll wait on the Autoignite 545 and get the gravity model.

You should try to get a Broil king regal there. This year's model looks fabulous

I had an idea for the ash can modification. Cut a hole (2-3" in diameter) and make a cover for that hole that pivots open using a bolt. With that you could open the hole to empty most of the ash with actually pulling out the ash can. This could also be done if needed during a cook if necessary using a second small metal catch can. Anyway, great video Tom!

Thanks Tom! As an owner of the 1050, I appreciate the videos of the new MBGS model. Do you have any plans on getting the MB XT?

Great summary review Tom. I was thinking I could live with the drawbacks until you pointed out the grill gate real estate. It's right in front of us when you do the videos, but it never seemed to compute in the past. All they really did is moved the charcoal hopper inside on this model and took up valuable grilling space. The cast iron griddle lid is nice, but you've shown how you can simply use an aftermarket griddle.

Great review, Tom! Always honest. I like the grill, but the same concerns, as you mentioned, also . Definitely if the price would drop some. Cheers 🍺

Thnx great review. I still have 2 questions: What are the exact measurements of the grill (cooking) surface, and is it possible to use a rotisserie?

Great 8 week review. James @smokingdadbbq has run an all wood fire in his and according to him it has produced stick burner flavors. Downside was he had to tend to it like an offset also. Thanks Tom

Great review but how many briquets are used for a typical cook. I always shut my Weber down and save the coals for reuse.
