Masterbuilt 560 Gravity Feed Shakedown Cruise
« Reply #-1 on: January 05, 2020, 05:47:41 PM »
Got baked beans going in the upper rack at the time of the video. Cooking/smoking at 360 deg. I lowered the temp to 260 when the beans hit 200 deg and put on a full rack of St Louis ribs. Added a lot more hickory wood chunks and am looking at two more hours for the ribs and beans to finish.
So far so good, it's all easy peasy ...... Only real problem and not a problem really, a hiccup? When I first started up it only got to around 82 deg. Turns out I forgot the remove the dampers for airflow.

The beans were a hit. Bacon on top turned out nicely cooked and somewhat crispy, nice smoke flavor. Ribs were simply great. Rubbed with Bolner's Rib Rub, cooked at 275 for 2 hours then foiled and cooked at 350 for 45 minutes. The thermometer for the MB was a nice touch and within 3 degrees of my trusted Thermoworks RED thermometer. Foil came off and I mopped down the ribs with a cherry bbq glaze that turned out nice and sticky. Meat didn't fall off the bone, but needed little prodding to come loose. Tender and juicy. All in all, I'd rate it as successful cook. I'll use more wood chunks in the mix next time or use my Amazen tube smoker for more smoke flavor. The ribs did have a small but noticeable smoke ring as well

They look good from here.  I like to have a little "tug" on the meat when I eat ribs.
I'll bet they were delicious.

Thanks for your comments about this grill.
