Same here! Cooked some pork tenderloin on mine and it was awesome. Ribeyes are the next victim….saturday!
I've got a couple red snapper slabs I need to cook. Probably do that this weekend. Sunday I did a smoked sausage queso dip and last night I did pork chops. Superb! It will sure eat come chips though.
My son has one of these. He has been very happy with it; consistent temperature control and good distribution insider the cooker. I think he has tried lump and briquettes and likes the briquettes better. He said the lump can pile up and restrict air flow but I don't know for sure. Lump usually burns hotter so it seems to me that it would take less to do a long cook; he has added additional charcoal during longer cooks.
Its under a pergola so not completely covered. Been waiting on lumber prices to go down to put a slats and plastic roofing panels on. Probably do that when it gets cooler.
Good info. Green egg knockoff is on the left under the cover. It just doesn't hold enough meat, but does fine if I'm cooking a little bit.
Gotcha. There's a lot of things I have planned as soon as it cools off some
I've had a couple of cooks on mine. A few minor problems. Hard to stomach spending hundreds in mods on a grill that costs this much, so I'll approach them a little at a time and as needed.
Which model did you get?Getting my pre seasoning done tonight,maybe i will get to cook something next week.Will be too busy this weekend,think im gonna like it.Anyone looking for one homedepot in jackson priced matched walmart.com and i saved alittle over $100 on it.
Masterbuilt 560,i have cooked twice with it this week and really like it.I made a anti flare up burner cover with removeable clips so you can put a water/drippings pan on top of it,grate for ash bucket ,and fire box mod at work for it.
I as originally going to go with the MB800, for the room and also for the griddle that came with it. But switched to the 980 when I came across it. Looks like you have some mod skills. Very nice.Masterbuilt 560,i have cooked twice with it this week and really like it.I made a anti flare up burner cover with removeable clips so you can put a water/drippings pan on top of it,grate for ash bucket ,and fire box mod at work for it.
