New Masterbuilt Gravity Grill?

I've got one and cooked on it a handful of times if anyone has questions-

Yes! Let us know your thoughts and overall opinion of this cooker. I think that is what folks are looking for.

I'd still like to get another half a dozen cooks under my belt before I get too detailed but here are some of my observations so far:

1. It's a neat cooker. I love the design and the innovation
2. The price is hard to beat. At $ 500 its cheaper than most decent pellet grills
3. It actually does heat up very quickly. With fresh coal and low humidity, I could definitely see 700F in under 15 min
4. It's fun to use
5. I've cooked on both and have not yet made a formal stance but I suspect briquettes perform better than hardwood lump
6. As a Kamado guy, this thing is great for searing and then lowering temperature where the kamado will typically stay heat soaked

Other thoughts and areas where it could be improved:

• It has the feel of a $ 500 grill
• The plug could be more sturdy for outdoor usage
• It's a pain to assemble

What attracted me to this unit is its innovation. For the first swing at it they did a fantastic job. Other brands take notice!!

Looking forward to the review on this one. It is an interesting concept and, if done right, could be a game changer for some

Here's a very brief snippet of our thoughts (this is only a preliminary, not the full review): https://amazingribs.com/ratings-revi...l-grill-smoker

Way more to come when we finish testing! Watch the Sneak Peeks channel here in our forum for the review announcement when the full review is published, it will also be announced in Smoke Signals newsletter. I suspect another couple weeks.

I just saw a review of their new Master Built 1050 on Facebook today by John Setlzer, sounds interesting and almost twice the cooking area of the 560 but with a price tag $300.00 higher than the smaller one. I would love to see a real review of it by someone that really rings it out to find out what kind of quality goes into it.
