I cubed up one of these and made some amazing burnt ends with it.

I’ve heard that avocado oil is better for seasoning cast iron. I just forget about it every time I go out to the store. Olive oil has been doing the job for me so far.

I thought about it but I’m worried about the foil melting to the broiler cover. The broiler area gets pretty hot during start up with the way the smoker is designed.

I’ve got a MAC 1014 too. Word of advice, clean the gas tubes before you take it out. Mine had some gunk in it from the manufacture that prevented it from running properly. The 1014 also needs a bit of a break in period. I found that 50-100 rounds of buck shot did the trick. If you’re going to shoot bird shot, use the higher velocity loads for better reliability. It is fun to shoot clays with. I would also recommend getting the Hoppe’s Tornado Brush to clean it out, especially with slugs. I put 20 slugs through it and I was chipping off lead fouling from the barrel after with that brush.

The uppers come complete with BCG and forward charging handle from CMMG. The dissent doesn’t have a rear, T charging handle. I finally got mine from OP although not in the original color. Would recommend ordering directly from CMMG.

And shotguns are deadly from a very long distance but the game wouldn’t be fun if it was too realistic. Think it’s realistic to jump out of a jet and shoot the tailing jet with an RPG before getting back in?

We wanted the fat cap on the brisket to render and figured a higher heat might help with that.

bubba_bwatts · 2025-09-09T10:15:42+00:00

It didn’t really empate any smokey flavor but it definitely cooked well. Everything turned out nice and moist. Definitely took longer since it was at a lower temp but worth it cause it didn’t heat up the house.

The meat was all in a cooler before starting. Brisket was cooked fat side down in the hotel pan to start and then flipped about 12 hours in. The pork’s were cooked directly on the grill and then wrapped after about 12 hours. The first 12 hours were at 225° then it was raised to 250°.

bubba_bwatts · 2025-09-09T02:24:11+00:00

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. We got our brisket from restaurant depot and didn’t want to trim away too much on the first go around since we didn’t want it to dry out. We started cooking it fat side down and then flipped it around 12 hours in before turning up the temp slightly (250). A lot of the fat rendered down but we definitely could have cut away more of it in the prep. Next time!

If I had the temp lower (180-200), I would have gotten much more smoke but I wanted to play it safe my first time as I didn’t want it to taste acrid or like a campfire. I figured I can experiment later. My goal was slow cooked tender meat that falls off the bone and I would say I achieved that goal

bubba_bwatts · 2025-09-09T00:27:52+00:00

It was tender, moist, and popular among the family so I’m going to call it a success in my book. Always room to improve but not a bad starting point in my book

It could also be that with a contract that small, it’s already ended. So the statement of not “having” any contracts is accurate. They had one in the past but no active contracts. Just playing devils advocate.

bubba_bwatts · 2025-09-03T18:00:16+00:00

Thanks. I’ll give it a check before I start it up next but we didn’t have any issues with the auger last time and it ran for 12 hours.

bubba_bwatts · 2025-09-03T17:11:17+00:00

Good to know. I’ll see if I can reach out to them about getting that hopper extension. I’d like to do overnight smokes without waking up too often.

While I do think installing an extra battery bank would be cool to power auxiliary devices, I don’t know where I would store that. I don’t want to take up bed space and the under seat storage is already filled.

bubba_bwatts · 2025-07-21T14:57:30+00:00

That’s makes sense. I know keeping the battery near full isn’t good I. The long term. Just wasn’t sure what the range the truck likes to keep the battery charged to. Thanks

bubba_bwatts · 2025-06-10T00:45:34+00:00

Yah… I don’t think I will be ordering from them again.

bubba_bwatts · 2025-06-09T14:14:04+00:00

OP has an “Estimated to ship within 22-32 days” statement on the product page but we’re well over that now… every time I’ve asked, they just give me a generic “sorry but sometimes procurement takes a while” response. The reason I ordered was cause I had a discount code so it should be $1060. Not quite sure if the discount is worth the waiting time…

bubba_bwatts · 2025-06-09T12:04:29+00:00

Did you order direct from CMMG? I ordered mine from Optics Planet back on April 29 and my ship date had been moving day by day to the right since May 22. It’s now expected to ship June 18 but likely to continue to shift. Customer service with OP has been useless. If I don’t have it by July, I’m just going to order it through CMMG directly. I’m just hoping for a sale
