Hi all.
I guess I am lucky in that my Masterbuilt 1050 just arrived today. I need to find the 2+ hours or so to assemble it, as I don't want to rush and screw something up.
From reading posts concerning the Masterbuilt 560 (including the updated review at this site) as well as watching YouTube videos, I know that the Masterbuilt 560 has issues with the bottom portion of the charcoal stack becoming burned/rusted out. I also read about the FaceBook user who posted about a 14-gauge stainless steel inner sleeve that someone makes and sells for $100. Finally, I read that Masterbuilt apparently knows about the flaw in the bottom portion of the charcoal stack/burn area, and that they are addressing the issue via warrantee.
Before assembling my 1050, I'm wondering if it has the same issues as the 560. I wonder if I should order the stainless steel inner sleeve for my 1050, provided that the bottom of the charcoal stack/burn area are the same dimensions as that of the 560.
For anyone that owns a 1050 and has actually used it a few times, could you please update this thread with your experiences? Is the burn chamber area of your charcoal stack starting to show signs of rust and burnout that is experienced on the 560?
Thanks in advance.
Take care.
