    Mine was delivered last week. Assembled and seasoned it on Saturday, and did our first cook yesterday. 1 cook in, and I love this thing! It quickly gets up to temp, and it stays within 1-2 degrees of target!

    Excellent review Tom. I've been wanting one of these since they came out but I had to wait until all the bugs were sorted out. When i heard about the last round of improvements I knew it was time. Picked it up today then followed your video for assembly, which was super helpful.
    Need to watch a few mod videos on things folks are doing to improve usability. Burn in is next then I'll be ready to smoke. Thanks for the guidance!

    This was a great video Tom. Loving the detailed content. Considering this comes with auto temp control. For new beginners, trying to get into smoking and versatile grill. Would you say this Masterbuilt or Pellet grill (Pitboss Pro 850 w/flamer) is a better fit for beginners?
    Considering you have had multiple cooks on both styles. Any insight you could give? I think i have nailed down to 2 of these final contenders for my next one 😊

    • @TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ
      @TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ  6 месяцев назад

      Thanks for watching! They both perform well for smoking although the smoke profile is different between charcoal and pellets with charcoal being more pronounced whereas pellets is mild to medium. The big difference comes in ability to sear. The MB gets the entire grill surface hot whereas the pellet truly only gets hot over the burn pot. Enjoy!

    The big masterbuilt or the 980. That’s the question. I’m looking for longevity and function for the money. Which one ??????

    • @Dc25211
      @Dc25211 3 года назад +2

      That’s what I’m trying to decide too. Love the “bread box” style of the master built and the rotisserie option for it. However I’m concerned about the baffle in the masterbuilt rusting out. As well as the hot stops.
      Also concerned about clear up in the masterbuilt due to the cast iron grates on the bottom and the way the drip tray is designed.
      The char griller seems more innovative with that but I don’t really care for the barrel style, seems like a lot less usable space to smoke/grill in. But maybe that’s just me.
      Leaning heavily towards the char griller.

    Tom, enjoyed your review of the Masterbuilt grills as well as comparing the CG 980. I've decided to go with MB. I just don't like the look of the barrel, much prefer the "bread box". My question is: will the 560 model handle a large whole turkey for thanksgiving? Thanks

    • @TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ

      Hello folks. I would appreciate some advice. At the moment I'm not prepared to purchase a new one. Someone in my community is selling one online for $560. It includes a stainless steel upgrade kit which he said he purchased for close to $200. It's 2 and a half years old and used less than 9 times. I didn't see any rust buildup in the photos. What do you think folks? Is it.too.much if a risk considering there probably isn't any warranty remaining considering an electrical component may go out sooner or later? Should I hold off and wait or would this be a steal if I purchase it?

    Tom - thanks for the great overview! Two questions for you: 1) How well does the Gravity work for straight grilling? Do you notice a difference in flavor? 2) Are you able to use the Gravity in light rain / snow? It obviously is powered but I thought I'd ask!

      @@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Right I totally understand that and you can’t start it without a flame! However when it is up and going and you run away from your home can you stop at what’s going on with the grill on the mobile app? Only reason I ask is chargriller claims their auto Kamado is WiFi but as well as you go out of your WiFi range or blue tooth range the app stops working. So it’s not a true WiFi system and I was wondering if this is the same or a true WiFi connection!

    Great review! I enjoy the gravity series for the charcoal flavor, ease of use, and cooking space. But I really dislike the gable design of the manifold. I cook alot of fattier meats, and the fat drips down onto the manifold and eventually into the heat windows. Despite regular cleaning, I get flareups that I notice when my app says 500 degrees near the end of the cook lol. I really wish they went with a sloped design to channel away the drippings or had the manifold top extend a bit further so that it can't drip into the heat windows.
