I’ve been looking hard at the masterbuilt gravity stuff. A lot of negative reviews about reliability have stopped me pulling the trigger.
Their new auto ignite one may push me over the edge as it’s quite affordable, in relative terms.
Anyone had any experience of one?
I personally wouldn’t buy Masterbuilt , prime example of “buy cheap buy twice” , some may beg to differ but Weber Traeger Pit Boss offer the best vfm long term .Their new auto ignite one may push me over the edge as it’s quite affordable, in relative terms.

I read the same reviews and then went to have a look at one at local(ish) bbq place.
One of the chaps there had one personally and didn’t hesitate to recommend it (but did suggest we get a cover for it to keep the elements off due to the better being thinner than others on the market).
That being said, those bbqs with thicker metal were 3x the cost which I couldn’t justify

Keen to get the bbq fired up once it stops raining! Picked up a cheap chicken roaster insert for the weber kettle over the winter that I want to try, any tips on how best to use it? Got a few ideas kicking about
Also considering buying a rotisserie attachment as a birthday present (or some lego, it's a tough choice)

Fired mine up for the first cook(done the initial burn in like the manual) yesterday and the fan failed 20 mins into the cook. Now waiting on an answer to a warranty claim. Not a great first impression for something that was still close to a grand.Their new auto ignite one may push me over the edge as it’s quite affordable, in relative terms.

Tomorrow I will be up at the crack of dawn to start a brisket that isn't quite a brisket. It's a Federstück (see below). 4.3kgs worth. It's a bit of an experiment, but fingers crossed it will be worth the early start. It's currently dry brining in the fridge and will be rubbed with Meatheads big bad beef rub and smoked into submission on the kamado.

Is that the 1050? I have one. It has rusted a little outside in the 2 years that I have had it but it is a great bit of kit. Don't forget that you can run it on just wood, which I have done a couple of times when I have run out of charcoal mid cook. I did the Christmas ham on mine! Cooking in all weather is easy when it manages the fire for you
I saw the new XT this week. It's a really cool bit of kit but I don't need to upgrade yet.

Currently I have a rack of ribs on it!
I’m going to have another go with this thread - got laid into last year by some tit for showing grilled food.
Have just bought the OnlyFire rotisserie, so today’s roast chicken can go on for the first try (normally chicken in the BBQ is beer can).
Will need to give the Weber a bit of a clean after it has had a regular soaking outside this winter (cover got blown off so many times….). Don’t think I have ever actually cleaned it before….
