Hey Tommy, this is Marcel in Yuma, Az, Hey man i, and "WE ALL" > really do APRECIATE your 6 month review of this grill. You are the VERY FIRST PERSON, who's had this, and put it up on Youtube. Thanks so much !

Great review Tommy. I have the 1050 and a 560 and the thing I love the most besides the flavor is the versatility of the cooker. I can get home at 5:00 and by 5:20 I can have it loaded up with fuel and up to temperature to cook, burger, chops or whatever for supper. The weekends I can hit it with the longer cooks. I can probably count on one hand how many times I have used my gasser since I got the 1050 in June. Keep the videos coming and we’ll keep watching.

Tom, thank you for posting your videos on the Masterbuilt, you do a awesome job! I own the Masterbuilt 560. I bought the extra center racks $50 and I bought the heavy duty custom weather cover $50. My tips are buy a wide putty scraper and remove the cast iron rack and scrape the crap off the roof of the heat diffuser from the last cook and empty your grease pan and tray of debris before the cook. My center rack temp runs about 10 degrees cooler than what I dailed in. If I want 225 on the center rack I dial 235 on the temp. I would not do long smokes on the cast iron grates. I did a butt and ribs on the cast iron and I had a little too much char. Use the center rack and put a water filled deep foil pan below. If you do that you never will get any unwanted burnt char on your proteins during my long smokes. I keep mine covered when not in use. Yes the custom Masterbuilt cover was $50 but it's heavy duty, water proof, and built to last. I love this pit it handles anything I throw at it delivering that charcoal smell and taste I crave. I was a 22" Weber Kettle guy for 38 years. This Masterbuilt gives you the taste you get with the Weber Kettle but with the convenience of a pellet grill.

I'm here from the newsletter and I must say that your experience with the 1050 mirrors mine exactly. Nicely done! Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review.

Got to Respect Tommy. Been watching most of his Videos for Masterbuilt 1050… Guess wot been done ordered it and ordered the Mods from LSS. Can’t wait….from UK

[fredworiax]

Brutally blunt and well shook-down video! Thank you!

[SmokingDadBBQ]

Nice touch on the cook summary. Great video Tommy

[mikefaucher]

I love my masterbuilt, I love the way that she roles clean smoke for hours. I also love to reverse sear my rib eyes!

[DefTaker]

What you're referring to is creosote build up -- not paint peeling as others think it is...I'd probably stay away from brushing any of the creosote back into the fuel chamber as it is believed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to be carcinogenic.

As already mentioned by a few on here, just either use folded up aluminum foil to cover the inner lid area and you should be golden.

There's nothing that Masterbuilt can do on this one; you'll get this same effect on Stumps, Old Country, etc. any gravity fed charcoal system. It's the nature of the beast and those are heftier/better-built units that cost a lot more money and people have discovered that good-ol' folded up tinfoil or aluminum foil works fine.

Another good video, Tommy! Keep it up, sir!

[garagegolfbros]

Found this through newsletter. Still love my master built! Your videos are always great!

[martyrichardson]

Thanks for the review Tommy! Good to know the pros and cons, especially for a beginner like me.

Great review Tommy. I love my MB1050. I don't have anywhere near the number of cooks you or a lot of the folks in the Facebook group have but when I do use it, the food is just wonderful. This pit allows someone like me who is a self proclaimed noob to all this to put out food that is great with a whole lot of ease and simplicity. With the exception of the foil on the hopper lid, zero mods for me and I do not see adding any. For the price I paid, Ill be pleased with getting 2 maybe 3 years of cooking out of it. But for me, it is a great grill. Also wanted to say the news letter you email out every two weeks is a great read...

[gusashford]

Is it just me or was anyone was waiting for Tommy to say SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!!!!

[patricknichols]

I had the 590 but my great Thanksgiving fire of ‘22 destroyed that from my lack of cleaning. Got the 1050 love it even more and with the LSS mods it’s a BEAST. I also have a Recteq Bullseye but I can’t decide which one tastes better so I use both a lot. Yeah get both🤣 Keep up the Awesome work Tommy! Cheers🍺

[Merlock_Holmes]

This review is why I bought this grill. Thanks for this

[scottintexas]

Totally agree on a small propane tank starter, thermometer, and shelf! By the way, LSS and Klotes make stainless manifold, hopper lid cover and shelf mods. The MB gravity feed design seems like a great idea, but it’s just a matter of time before a competitor (Pit Boss, are you watching?) makes a higher end model in the $1000-1500 range.

[checkitout]

Thanks for the honest, everyday person review, was debating my next BBQ & smoker purchases, combo, or separate stand alones, charcoal, egg, etc. Gonna take the plunge and get the 1050...

[skybabaoriginal]

Greetings from the UK.

Great review on the 1050. I’m hoping to get one ordered today!
Keep Grilling!

[simoncapizzi]

Great video man. I appreciate the nit picks.

[dandawson]

Good stuff man! Been thinking about pulling the trigger on this. I think I just might now!
