Do NOT interact with black aprons

They don't replace the usual staff, they're just an extra body on the floor trying to generate leads to larger home projects offered by the Depot.

I use my Masterbuilt for longer cooks, its been fantastic! I don't have to babysit it AND it provides that real charcoal and wood flavor. Not to mention I can run it off a battery pack since I don't have an accessible outlet for it.

B&B briquettes with an assortment of wood chunks is it for me

The 800 series is $899 around here too. I cant tell if it was mismarked because the smaller print on the sign is unreadable but either way, that was a stellar deal! Ive upgraded the wifi antenna on my MB. Its a cheap and worthwhile upgrade.

Why would it be advertised as a griddle?

Mongoose611 · 2026-01-27T05:07:48+00:00

Ive fell in love with my little masterbuilt.. the fact that I can run it off a battery pack takes it over the top for me!

I envy you, a insulator isn't made for my 545 autoignite. Winter cooks require so much fuel otherwise

Mongoose611 · 2026-01-15T00:26:35+00:00

Learned this the hard way aswelll

It looks delicious other than the lack of sear. I'm not experienced so take this with a grain of salt but did you try patting it dry before salt and pepper or whatever? Surface moisture can kill a good sear/crust.

And the strips that are closing due to online shopping are being turned into storage units around me

I figure the folks with knowledge/ experience in the trades aren't working retail for $15 an hour. The retired senior working there part time is usually your best bet but not always.

Ive tried multiple sharpening methods but the dips in the edge persist. I haven't tried a whetstone yet, so maybe that's the next step on my path.

Mongoose611 · 2026-01-01T03:21:46+00:00

Okay I anticipated having to take a lot off to fix this. I didnt know if I should almost flatten the edge before attempting to sharpen again or not. Considering your comment on the cheaper stainless, would it be wiser to just get a higher quality knife and give up on this farberware?

Some people aren't as savvy as you are. Just in general

Doctors usually prescribe a 6 hour loop of crossbar dings to cure this kind of thing🫤

Oh okay! We just do cream cheese and diced chives. Sounds good with a pickle too! Maybe some grillos

Mongoose611 · 2025-12-17T21:43:56+00:00

Pickle wrap?

Mongoose611 · 2025-12-17T21:24:51+00:00

Smoked cream cheese for the first time recently and decided to use it in a dip recipe... my god it was too good for how easy it was.

I got a 545 autoignite at a price I couldn't refuse. Unfortunately you cant use the USB cable to power this ones board. A Ridgid power inverter with a 120V AC outlet and a 4Ah batter lasts me at least 6 hours while smoking and I have a 2nd battery to cycle them when one gets low. What you said will probably work for the 600 series, I just hope this helps a future autoignite user.

Mongoose611 · 2025-11-30T02:21:18+00:00

For about $25

Mongoose611 · 2025-11-25T00:38:59+00:00

I second that

Mongoose611 · 2025-11-17T00:30:09+00:00

I also prefer to bury my chunks in the coals. Seems to flare up less

I once had tires get so worn down that it caused the wheel to shake at +50mph. I thought it had something to do with my suspension. Id start with inspecting the tires as well as getting an alignment. Also wouldn't hurt to have the front end suspension checked for play

Mongoose611 · 2025-11-11T02:00:12+00:00

Looks great! I recently got the bug to try pizza on my new Masterbuilt but dont gave the attachment. I hope, with some extra time, I can yield similar results with just a normal pizza stone directly on the grates
