Jonathon it was after watching either Gordon Ramsay or Kenji Lopez-alt, or a combo that I finally nailed the scallops. Curious how they would be cooked sous vide. I know the shrimp I’ve done that way came out perfect but the scallops need a nice sear in my opinion.

lkrfletcher great minds think alike.

Did some last minute garlic shrimp.

Jonathon oh man that sounds great. Definitely will have to try making something like that.

HerbcoFood looks delish.

kyle looks great. What exactly is it you wrapped those pickles with?

This thing is definitely a beast. Happy I went with the 1050 though. As you guys have said many times better to go as big as you can and you won’t regret it.

Did the initial burn in and seasoning with cheap charcoal briquettes. For the smoke I did alternating layers of lump charcoal and hickory chunks. I did see a video or two someone using full splits in the hopper with just a few briquettes at the bottom to get things going. Look forward to trying that as well. Could be as close to an automated offset as I could get.

Took Six minutes to hit 225 from the time I lit the fire starter. Supposedly it will get to 700° in 15 minutes. But I didn’t push it that hard yet as I was cooking low and slow. But seems like that would have great potential for reverse sear.

Didn’t have my good thermometer in there but based on the control panel it held the temperature surprisingly tight for charcoal. Will have to do a real test when I have more time but seemed to fluctuate only +/-5°.

Comparing it to my neighbors cooks on his Pellet grill I definitely felt like mine had a better smoke flavor (but that could just be the cook)

So far I love this thing. I will keep you guys posted as I get some more cooks on it.

The one problem I had was with the controller LED. Did not reach out to Masterbuilt yet but I’m sure they will make good on it. I will put a picture below to show what I mean. Some of the lines in the LED were dim or went in and out. Luckily looks like swapping out the controller will be easy if they send me a replacement. Also a little glitchy with connection to the app. But I don’t really use that too much anyway.

Can’t get grill pic to go vertical

Jonathon very nice

calldoctoday sorry for your loss. My condolences brotha.

mrobisr I think this did around 20 cukes. And probably could’ve fit maybe 10 more.

I’ve done them many ways quick pickles , fermented , etc. keep coming back to the way my uncle used to make them.
Kirby cukes
6c h2o
6c white vinegar
5Tbsp pickling salt
About a Tbsp of pickling spice
Tbsp sugar
Some dill fresh or freeze dried ~1tsp
About a head of garlic cloves smashed
Leave on counter for 3 days with loose lid then refrigerate And that’s it
Sometimes I’ll add hot pepper to spice it up

Eventually I’ll have to get a more precise recipe
Not sure how long they’re good for but they usually get eaten within a week.

Need to find a good recipe for half sour pickles.

Pickles (store bought cukes).

Definitely a good one. I went to the store looking for Hendrick’s neptunia and this bottle caught my eye. I’m usually not one to sip gin straight but this one is nice and smooth. Definitely recommend trying it if you see it.

A lil gin to switch it up from the brown stuff.

Smoked some pork shoulder cubes on the gasser.
