Review the Char Griller 980 please!
fogo is so damn expensive tho i
s it really worth it
Had a 560 for 3 years and it’s held up so far, hard to beat it for the price. This is a stupid comparison and not really fair to compare it to smokers that cost twice as much. I would gladly shell out more money for a similar, easy to use, but higher end charcoal gravity smoker.
100% agree with the comment of being in the smoke all day impacts your first taste. I have sampled after a cook and thought, "not very smokey". Next day after a night's sleep and my opinion changed to "nailed it".
I would agree that Masterbuilt has issues with longevity. I’ve replaced my manifold twice now in three years. And all of the switches at least once.. The firebox is degrading rapidly. And the internal components are also degrading rapidly. However, the smoker produces some darn good barbecue when it works.😂
Does it have Wi-Fi? I so want to buy a chinese device and plug it into my wifi network so I (and them and anyone else) can have a point of entry into my home network.
With all the videos of mods and extra care you have to give the masterbuilt. I went with the woodwind pro, can’t wait to pick it up. When I have more room I’ll be in the market for a decent offset.
My Masterbuilt 800 works great!
Thanks for keeping the tail end of this video of just casual conversation. Really enjoyed that portion.
Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to a review of the Akorn Auto-Kamado
The Masterbuilt isn't built for British climate in my experience. My entire 800 unit is rusting from ever pore, just had all the 'stainless steel' exterior parts replaced under warranty. Also the control unit failed. I've probably had 10 cooks on it, it uses SO MUCH charcoal. I bought a bone-in brisket point from the local butcher. local organic beef. It cost £60. The charcoal i needed to cook it was over 50% of the cost of the beef. Madness.
The materials used are poor and very difficult to keep clean. Once ive replaced all the parts and its looking slightly better I'm going to sell and find something else that's built better. Such a shame as in the Summer it is fantastic and I made my best ribs and chicken wings ever. But i dont think it wall last another winter so need to get rid
Never seen the lard usage. What’s that do to taste?
I was gonna get a masterbuilt but not now. Ive seen several videos saying the control board died on the second cook.
Add a smoker tube to your pellet grill for extra smoke, on the GMG use a 6" tube placed far left but not over the temp probe and the grills air flow pushes way more smoke out.
Just charcoal on the MasterBuilt? The idea is to add wood chunks with the charcoal!! 🙂
The 560 is to Eric what Morty is to Rick.
Cables, switches, adapter cables, wifi connectivity. Asking alexa. Man , bbq has become a joke. But I will say, that guest on the show was super good!
You should review the Masterbuild 800.
Great video and very practical advice!
Glad that you guys advised the pellet grill and weren’t biased as most bbq guys are towards charcoal or offset grills.
My GMG is a champion.
Great video!
I’d love to see the Masterbuilt go against pellet smokers in a Grill-Off. Like actually higher heat, grilling, then see what tastes better.
I love doing beef ribs hot n fast, either rotisserie over charcoal direct, or in one of my Pellet Smokers, and my small Traeger seems to produce the best tasting result, based on what folks tell me..
So that’d be nice to see how the MB would fare
If you're going to use charcoal then get a 22 or 26 inch Weber Kettle. Or a 18/22" Weber Smokey Mountain. Best for the money. Pellet smoker? Get a Pit Boss for cheap.
Just bought a MB1050 and their customer service SUCKs! Brand new and no support for my controller problems.
You should have blindfolded him. Compare based on taste and feel/texture alone.
1050 is not good no no !!!
Had my GMG for over 4 years now. Absolutely zero issues. Liked it so much, bought a 2nd one for our RV. Again, rock solid. More importantly, great food. And yes, cooked on an offset too. Great food as well, but way too much work.
I'm a stick burner!
Is this a comparison video or a shit on masterbuilt video lol
Knocking down the masterbuilt….. have had mine for 3 years and not a single issue with app, Wi-Fi, or door switches
