is Blowin Smoke!
I don't see much discussion about these smoker/grills. Are you still using it ?
I've had the 560 since last January. I think its a smoker and not much of a grill. A two zone fire on a Kettle is far superior when it comes to grilling, IMO.
I've grilled thick porterhouse pork chops, rib eye , and burgers. I can't get the crust I want with indirect heat. I thought it should work well for reverse searing, but with the chops and rib eye, I got grease flare ups when I cranked the temp up.
But it does a good job as a smoker. I've smoked brisket, yardbird, and ribs and was happy with what it produced. But its not been my primary smoker, that was my OC Brazos till I bought a Franklin offset. The MB560 was gonna be my set and forget smoker, but I've yet to find a time when I prefer it over an offset.
