I've been eyeballin' that grill for a while, Jackson.  I think that charcoal provides a unique flavor to grilled meats when they're cooked directly over the coals.  Do you get that same flavor when the fire is in the gravity chute?

I, too, am looking forward to your subsequent posts on temperature control and food taste.

Do you have any more information if there's a connection between Masterbuilt and Char-Griller as we discussed in this thread?

Jaxon, I also can't wait for our fall cookout where you can show us how that beautiful blue grill can be put through its paces and we can taste some of that amazing food that will be coming off it. Great video presentation as well. I'm all ready starting to pack for this road trip to see you and all my best friends this fall.

PMillen, there is no connection between the two companies.
The charcoal chute on this grill is triple insulated, porcelain coated and REMOVABLE for easy cleaning, etc.
There are videos on the Tube with guys doing the "biscuit test" to show how evenly this grill cooks.  The only spot that is hotter is right there where the heat and smoke are blown into the chamber.  I think Tom Horsman did such a test. He also did a side-by-side comparison with the MB 560.
The folks at Char-Griller are really bringing some units that are high quality with plenty of good features.
They still have the flimsy little do-nothing grills for folks on a tight budget, but their higher end grills will compete with the best.
IMHO...

Smoke, for now these are only available at Lowes.
Mine was assembled and delivered for free. There is such a high demand, the stores have trouble keeping them in stock. I was on a list to be notified when a grill came in.

Cook away, Jaxon.  Let us know if you think the unique charcoal flavor is the same as when grilling directly over the glowing coals.

Do you have a way to monitor the grate level temperatures to see if they track with your settings?

I think I'm going to like this thread.
