I have a 560, Bought it about 3 to 4 years ago. Even before the 560 was delivered, I had in my hands the LSS firebox mod.
I just bought his SS rack upgrade. I have not installed it yet, but I'm looking to do a short rib cook soon.
LOVE MY 560!

Bought the 800 yesterday. After finding this video, I purchased the lss mods to go with it and will install when putting together on Wednesday. Thanks for the info.

I bought my LLS modes when I ordered my masterbuilt. I have had them on since day one and they have worked great

I have watched multiple videos replacing the firebox. Has no one else other than me thought of removing the damaged firebox sides before installing new firebox? It slides in much easier. LSS Mod is great. Love the smoker and including wood chunks in the charcoal.

I just honestly wished the Masterbuilt had the durability of the Pitboss smoker; it would be a perfect grill/smoker!

My mods from LSS are still going strong.

This was an important follow up. I appreciate it greatly.
My question for you is: How low can you go with that new damper? Could you do a relatively “cold” smoke of, say, a cheese?

[JonathanHaberski]

So glad I waited til the newer model came out. Just got mine last year and all the LSS and Klotes mods.

[kyleo]

You could use high temp rtv silicone to seal the damper.

I bought the 560 than seen the mods to do after. I ordered the mods and waited to cook on the 560. It was killing me not to use it. Glad I waited.

I just did the fire box mod. Be carefully with the inside screws in between the firebox and main lid. They are hard to get out. Had to us a ez out on them, they strip out fast. Put in some Allen head screws for next time.

Great detailed video! How has upgrading the inner hopper walls held up ever since that upgrade?

MrBigKid, great video and information. Just recently picked up a 560 and ordered the mod kit. Haven't cooked on it yet waiting for mods to arrive. I have a Camp Chef Woodwind SG as well as a bulky texas style offset to use in the meantime. Now with that said many have argued the high price of the LSS mods. But I say, it's up to a person's viewpoint on how they want to BBQ. One can still make amazing BBQ from a low priced Walmart grill or Weber. It is just how much are you willing to spend for the convenience of not worrying about temperature management and keeping wood/charcoal going especially in the middle of the night during long cooks.

Great mods. I'm sure you are enjoying it. Just got the 560 and waiting to put it together, I just don't know if I want to spend another 315 + shipping on the mods. But great video though.

[venomnight]

Thanks getting theses mods and going with Masterbuilt. Almost bought char- grill one. Saw your video just in time.

[north]

Nice video, well done!
Just out of curiosity did you purchase these mods or sent free to you? If free would you purchase?
I just ordered a 560, purchased my own mods.... ended up paying close what a new 560 could be had for?
Keep up the great work.

[thaginjahninja]

That looks like Arizona backyards with the stucco and brick fence. Props for smoking in the 7th layer of hell. Haha

[MrBigKid]

Thank you all for watching! I'll keep you all updated how these upgrades hold up. Please don't forget to give this video a thumbs up, and subscribe!

Moisture in smokers is important for sausage but doesn’t have much impact for smoking BBQ. The reason BBQ smokers have water pans is because it’s a heat sink that never gets above 212°. It prevents temperature overruns by using excess energy to turn water into steam. Therefore I don’t understand the point of a water pan in a smoker like this. I thought it uses thermostat controls to maintain temperature so using a water pan seems unnecessary. Does the unit regularly have temperature overruns without a water pan?

[John-ozgj]

I'm definitely getting the LSS mods damper. A thing I did today was get 4 stainless steel skewers and cut them and positioned them on the grate that the charcoal burns on. So hopefully I don't lose fuel from chunks falling into the firebox pan.
