I use the exact same method for the hopper. Alternate layers of lump and briquette with wood chunks scattered throughout. Gives the best of all worlds. Great cook Joe!
Next time you use the Masterbuilt, put the internal thermometer on the right side. Temp will probably higher. Found early on to flip my ribs because right side cooks hotter.
Nice! It's a fun cooker with a lot of excellent features. I would recommend the hopper lid mod and the grease catch cover for the heat chamber below the cooking grates. Outside of that, I love how many things this grill brings to the table. Best of luck and thanks for checking out the video. 👌
Just a bit of a recommendation. Once you're putting it to rest unwrap for 10-15 minutes to release steam & help prevent it from cooking more while resting then rewrap. Great video though!!!
Ha! This was one of my early videos and I wanted to show my mixing the charcoal in layers. The Hopper doesn't even hold more than a 20 pound bag and I didn't even fill it all the way up, it just looks like a lot from the poorly shot footage. Thanks for checking out the video and happy smoking. 👍
Nothing wrong with that at all... I usually rip it off when I pull my pork at the end but to each his own. I also like using it as an internal reminder while cooking.... most times, when the fat cap starts to split, your pork is ready to wrap. Cheers and happy smoking my friend! 😁🐖🥓
Also a fellow hoosier down around the morgan monroe area. Against all odds other than I have done many butts I guess it perfectly. Kinda laughed when it popped up 142. Lucky guessed for sure.
Have you had any issues with coals burning completely out after shutdown? I’ve gone through two full bags in two cooks. I can’t seem to find any information on how to stop it.
I have been able put my hoppers out completely and salvage most of the coals that remain. As long as I remember to reinsert the safety blades that access the fan/cook chamber and leave both firebox door & hopper lid closed, the fire can't get any more air and usually goes out. More often than not, I can create a whole new fire or at least a chimney's worth out of what's left. Thanks a ton for checking out the vids. :)
@Everett -So I have a Smoke Vault that I use for smoking and a Weber Tailgate grill just for regular grilling but I miss me some charcoal and I really want to get one but the reviews on Amazon are full of complaints on assembly/build quality and ppl say the company has lousy customer service or practically none at all. Can you let us know if you’ve had any problems with yours? Also any thoughts on the Z Grills pellet smokers? Nice vid bro, I sub’d and as we say in the Army....HOOAH!
I have had a decent customer service experience but all I did was order a replacement probe. The biggest issue I've had is the lid of the cook chamber does not read as closed because I think I fried the lid sensor. I have glued a small piece of wood to the sensor to fix it. The only other two issues I've had with this machine is the top hopper gets a ton of heat so it needs a barrier to help keep the lid of the hopper from frying. I also have had the heating chamber catch a grease fire from drippings that went directly into it. That one was on me but still something that will happen with all these cookers unless you leave a pan to catch drippings or buy the mod to channel the grease into the grease pan. I would recommend them if you can get a deal on them but at full price, I would not do it. I don't know anything on the Z Grills Pellet Smokers. I have heard some people have had good results with them, so it's definitely worth looking into. Cheers and thanks so much for checking out the vid! :)
@@EverettBBQ good looking out Yo! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. I pulled the trigger on the 560 and ordered one yesterday which which will be delivered Tuesday and keep you posted.
The flavor of the meat is what you should want, not the rub unless you don't like the flavor of pulled pork. Also, I don't know how much it cost you to cook the butt but I can say that with a Camp Chef or Trager pellet grill, it would have cost less than $7.00 for pellets with plenty of smoke. It appeared that your fuel to smoke the butt was considerable more. Also, your wrapping of the butt showed that you had not done this very often. Keep with it and one day you will get much better. GOOD LUCK !
@@nunyabiznatch1465 Yeah, who ares about cost. Pellets don't give the flavor of coal/stick burner. I don't give a damn what you do, it will never be as good.
Saturday October 8 7:48, this was the first video i saw when i got my Masterbuilt. Doing a boston butt just like the first time. Thank you sir
You can tell this guy knows what he's doing because who else walks around with wood chunks in all of their pockets
are those wood chunks in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I use the exact same method for the hopper. Alternate layers of lump and briquette with wood chunks scattered throughout. Gives the best of all worlds. Great cook Joe!
Much appreciated, Guy! 👊 The Masterbuilt is one heck of a machine and couldn't agree more, love to alternate the lump and wood chunks. 👍
Logansport, IN here 😅 lemme say that will be great on tacos-! Hehe
Thanks so much for the idea and for checking out the video! Much appreciated. ☺
Hell yeah!
This is definitely an early vid but I was super happy with the shoulder. That Masterbuilt has been a Super Shoulder Smoker. 😉
Cotton gloves under the gloves helps with the heat.
I use them for every video.... this might be the lone exception! 🤣 Thank you so much for commenting and for checking out the video. Cheers! 🔥
Love the way he is pulling smoking wood out of his pockets...lol
Next time you use the Masterbuilt, put the internal thermometer on the right side. Temp will probably higher. Found early on to flip my ribs because right side cooks hotter.
I will definitely experiment with that. I think it be a positive change. Thank you so much for commenting and checking out the vid! 😎
What's up dude? I live in Indianapolis too! I'm purchasing Masterbuilt 1050 next week.
Nice! It's a fun cooker with a lot of excellent features. I would recommend the hopper lid mod and the grease catch cover for the heat chamber below the cooking grates. Outside of that, I love how many things this grill brings to the table. Best of luck and thanks for checking out the video. 👌

Thank you so much, Bruce! Great idea and will definitely try this on my next butt. Cheers and happy smoking my friend! 🔥
How much charcoal did you end up using for that cook?
Ha! This was one of my early videos and I wanted to show my mixing the charcoal in layers. The Hopper doesn't even hold more than a 20 pound bag and I didn't even fill it all the way up, it just looks like a lot from the poorly shot footage. Thanks for checking out the video and happy smoking. 👍
i normally cut that fat layer off of the top. is that not normal?
Nothing wrong with that at all... I usually rip it off when I pull my pork at the end but to each his own. I also like using it as an internal reminder while cooking.... most times, when the fat cap starts to split, your pork is ready to wrap. Cheers and happy smoking my friend! 😁🐖🥓
Dyna-glo smoker brisket One more time!I seem like fair^^;;
Also, I found your channel after buying the 560.
You’re so damn funny.
Nice butt.
Also a fellow hoosier down around the morgan monroe area. Against all odds other than I have done many butts I guess it perfectly. Kinda laughed when it popped up 142. Lucky guessed for sure.
An excellent guess! Thank you so much for checking out the cook. I really appreciate it. :)

Also you can put some tinfoil on the top lid for a little better seal

@@EverettBBQ place a thick layer of foil between the lid and stack. Lid frying problem solved
No way there should be that much juice left over in the pan.
see i normally cut that fat layer off the top. i think that's why the juice?
Lol...says first look but the temp gauge says different.....none the less I watch the vids
The first one... It is a rough ride for sure. Thank you for watching! 🙌
I predicted 137°.
Solid! B-)

The cost isnt the issue. pellet smokers put out a lesser-quality smoke than this kind of grill and smokers with a side smoker box.
@@nunyabiznatch1465 Yeah, who ares about cost. Pellets don't give the flavor of coal/stick burner. I don't give a damn what you do, it will never be as good.
Thanks again. 👍
Pellet grills wont give adequate smoke, it’s proven over and over again. And yes I’ve tested it as well.
Too slow. Work faster,eliminate boring repetitive music. Stop making useless sounds with your comments.
This was one of my first videos, I promise they have gotten marginally better as of late. Best! 🔥
