Masterbuilt MB20041020 Gravity Series 560 Outdoor Digital Charcoal Barbecue Griddle + Grill + Smoker, Portable, Built-in Thermometer Gauge in Black

Product Information

The first time, you have to burn the smoker clean. This way, you burn off the leftovers of dirt and grease that may have been left behind during manufacturing. After that, you let the Masterbuilt cool down, and you can get started. After lighting, you are at 140 degrees (284F) in ten to fifteen minutes. If you want to grill, because that is also possible, it takes 10 minutes longer. In no time, the Masterbuilt is roaring at 350 degrees (660F). These baffle plates mean that you’ll be able to reuse the charcoal in your hopper for your next cook. Even the briquettes or lump that were lit at the time you shut off the supply of oxygen will cook down and be ready to use the next time you’re ready to fire it up. Cleaning: The bottom and largest level measures about 18 inches deep by 28 inches wide. (That’s an additional 3 inches in depth and 6 inches in width from the 560 model). However, considering its repertoire of features and functionality, it’s essentially an outdoor oven, which makes the price a little more palatable. It’s also available at less than RRP from third-party retailers, which makes it a more tempting buy.

As the hot, long summer days approach, you might be tempted to dust off your ageing BBQ and grill yourself a few burgers – I know I have. Pellet grills have been all the rage for the past 5-10 years in the outdoor cooking market. It seems like everyone has one now, and even Weber has recently joined the pellet grill game with their new SmokeFire pellet cooker.

Review Us

Gravity fed charcoal grills aren’t anything new in the market, but until now they have been reserved for those who want to spend a whole lot more money. We hear that a lot of people find the functions of the app somewhat limited. We like it. You can only set the temperature or time, and the app indicates whether this temperature has been reached. If you want more, you can set timers. There is also a recipe book with hundreds of recipes. A nice addition would be to add your own recipes. Maintenance of the Masterbuilt 560 We might note here: While we appreciate and admire the novel design, it’s not necessary to understand how or why it works. Because if you follow the instructions, it will work—as we learned. Firing It Up DIGITALFAN CONTROL With the push of a button, the digitally controlled fan moves air flow from the hopper to the cooking chamber and maintains desired cooking temperature.

It’ll sustain the selected temperature until the available fuel has been used too, making it particularly well suited for slow cooks, allowing you to keep the temperature at a stable level for the entire cook. The hopper can hold enough charcoal for 12-15 hours of cooking depending on temperature and conditions. In mid-2019, we were surprised at the Spoga with the Masterbuilt 560 gravity fed smoker. It worked according to the gravity-fed mechanism in which a hopper of glowing charcoal gives off its heat to a kettle. It’s a so-called offset smoker but one that you do not have to adjust or keep an eye on. Gravity-fed smokers have been used for years by, especially American professionals in restaurants and barbecue competitions.

If parts or further support are needed, we will ask you to log it with Masterbuilt UK, including our advise on how to resolve the issue. It’s undoubtedly a premium tech-infused BBQing experience that won’t be to everybody’s tastes, but if you’ve got the money and space, it’ll truly transform your view on outdoor cooking. Pricing The temperature gauge doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either, with no actual temperature markings. It’s more cosmetic, as you can see the temperature readout on the digital screen. The middle level is approximately 12 inches deep, while the top level measures around 8 inches deep. Food Capacity: You can control both temperature and cook time from Wifi and bluetooth, which means that you can control everything you need on the grill even when you’re down the street partying it up with the neighbors or at a soccer game hours before dinner.

Wi-Fi Connectivity: Stay connected to your grill from anywhere with the integrated Wi-Fi technology. Monitor and adjust temperatures, receive notifications, and access a library of mouthwatering recipes through the Masterbuilt app.

Control temperature and cook time with the digital control panel or with smart device control using WIFI or Bluetooth It is important to note that the temperatures do SEEM to stabilize the longer the grill is at a specific temperature. Since an all-over sear means more flavor than the stripes of grill marks, I rotated the steak about every 15 seconds, and flipped it over every minute to a new hot section of the grate until there was a nice even brown flavorful crust and the internal temperature was 132°F, about medium-rare. The flavor was outstanding with just a hint of wood smoke from the single wood chunk. We haven’t cooked on the 1050, but it’s the same idea as the 570 with a larger cooking chamber. So, yes you can use wood along with the charcoal in the hopper as well as use chunks of wood where the ash falls to increase the smoky flavor.
