Good Morning Tommy, Thanks for another great video breakdown. Quick question on the temperature overshoot, about how long does it take for the temperature to correct itself and settle back down? Thanks!

First off thanks for the super chat... That my friend is greatly appreciated!!! Id say 5-10 min or so. I have a rib battle happening now with the XT and Lone Star pellet and the xt is steady on the temp all morning!! Its an awesome pit!

Great questions and definitely the answers Tommy. That Masterbuild is wonderful seeing the great cooks that you have done Tommy. If I had the money I know that I would enjoy cooking on one. Have a wonderful weekend Tommy and CHEERS.

Honestly, I used it a couple times and noticed it took longer to build the bark. That the inside of my smoker was showing more suit buildup and needed cleaned earlier than before. The container for water is still their, just empty and my cooks seem to be a little quicker. I spritz with water and vinegar occasionally.. that tells me the heats to hot, to fast. So lower the temp 10° and keep going.

Ай бұрын

Will, I put the meat on a piece of tinfoil, season it and then wrap it up with the foil for 15 minutes. When the smoker is ready, put your meat down, place the foil under the meat (one level down) to catch drippings after folding it to just a little bigger than the actual piece of meat. I spritz the surface around 165°, to slow the bark while building the internal temp. A couple spritz's later, were at 175-180°, bark is set, wrap it and increase smoker temo to finish the meat. At probe tender (205'ish) pull the meat AND rest. Works for anything but chicken.. pork shoulder, brisket, ribs, pastrami and of course, Tommy's favorite.. chuck roast cooked like a brisket!

Tommy, does it come with the same temperature probes? I"m constantly replacing the probes on my 800.

How do I get one of the masterbuilt gravity XT???

I've had mine for 4 yrs. The hopper metal in the chute is bowed out and crumbling. Prob 100+ cooks easy. Can we change the hopper inside metal plates? If so. Where can we get em. Also I just picked up a brand new 560 for 250$ my 2nd. Best smoker ever, as I have 4!

How about a 1050 with all the LSS mods and a fireboard pro 2 vs the XT? Was gonna pull the trigger on a Frankengrill but then saw the XT launched. My main concern is the MB software and panel. My 560 panel is junk and the app has been pretty underwhelming.

From what I hear, nothing in the works yet!

@ThegalleryBBQ I saw I review from the XT on Toptenrewiews "My biggest issue with this grill and smoker is how much ash it created-and not in the ash bucket where I would have hoped all of it would have gone. The grates were covered in ash after every cooking session. I’d have to clean it off before using the grill again. However, the grates would then get covered completely in ash as soon as I started the grill. Even as I cooked, ash continued to cover the grates. I found myself having to constantly clean ash off the grates before I cooked, as I cooked, and after I cooked. It’s likely that my food was covered in a fine layer of ash too. can you give me your thoughts on that?

I’ve had the 1050 for many years now. Great grill, but between heavy use, a cross country move with horrible movers and a 3-1/2” hail storm this grill has taken a beating! It still works, but somewhere along the line I have lost Wi-Fi control. Would I buy it again? Yes, but then I start looking at the XT, but now you’re getting into commercial charcoal grill territory, such as a Yoder. Of course, grills like that is commercial grade ridiculously heavy duty metal for a grill that would be expected to last a lifetime. That would be my dilemma. Would I stick with an XT or double/ triple up and buy Yoder?

Luke is not working on any mods for the XT, I asked him myself, I suppose that's a good thing as there isn't anything that can be heavily improved upon meaning the designers have watched all the yt vid and listened to what consumers are saying.

On the WWP you have to add wood every 45 mins for smoke flavor - on the XT you can run full splits of wood for multi hour cooks hands off.

What are the actual dimensions of the hopper on these things? 8x10 or so? Does that firebrick around the burn chamber sticking out cause any kind of log jams? Seems like it'd be a problem
