Title: MB 560
Post by: RAD on October 23, 2020, 05:33:24 PM: Just got the 560 in and put it together. WOW lots of parts but not too hard to put together. Took me about 3 hours with clean-up. Found a great video on YouTube with step by step instructions.

Post by: Ka Honu on October 23, 2020, 09:39:15 PM: I like the idea of having it in your living room. You don't have to worry about the weather and you can watch football while cooking without having to run outside during commercials. Why didn't I think of that?

If you continue with this line of logic...you may be confused with an honors graduate of Texas A&M. "Summa Cum Ignominious"....

AND...Nice one RAD!!!

Ray, that's really cool.
Thanks Don. I really like it. They did mess up on RAD. They used lower case but I thought I could live with it. It would have cost them more with shipping and eating the wood to make a profit. I'm going to stain it. After HC Sally I had to replace my fence and having it stained so will have some leftover to cover it.

Applewood smoked for 1.5 hours at 225. Up heat to 400 place on bottom rack and turn every few minutes.

In the U.S. we have health care for profit. As a result, people that can afford it have better health care.

Gravity Series Charcoal Grate (https://www.masterbuilt.com/products/gravity-series-charcoal-grate). They're sold out now. I guess we need to be patient.

I cut pieces from these stainless steel shish kebab skewers.

(https://ch3301files.storage.live.com/y4m-W_MHcA_oD7UEzDJKbBfZRBNuTF6MOhlFJ9ia-__9id2bmsvIrwdSE6kvB_BHksh45YTMSi09kFN5XGi1n3_98m2PQU_yvd3j9kUQpuJ7u0WFL3dqKfnqqEC0cltPpvVECrr2kjMLoKdBU4UxX3iQtGy9t0Lq4PO519uAmBCEk5Dx5sqYkZ-n4zTahB7GAPv?width=412&height=462&cropmode=none)

And inserted them.

I later removed them. I think I prefer the original design.
