Nice! I heard they are 3 weeks out, I think the giant Chinese container ship is almost here! I am waiting for 1050s to come in too. I offered Masterbuilt help unloading the containers but they said they were OK , Dammit! I was hoping I could save another weeks wait while they ship them to the stores!
Independent retailers are backordered til mid or end of May, but I got word from Home Depot customer service that the 1050 should be in their stores and online some time in July.
I am reading about potential problems with heat wear too early with the firebox on the 560. Someone barely had it for a month and the metal wore out. Any changes on that with the 1050? This is a big concern. Exposed styrofoam was mentioned.
I've heard that Masterbuilt's response to that is that it isn't Styrofoam, but heat baring material similar to what they use for outdoor pizza ovens. The metal was to protect it during shipping and you should expect it to burn away in use. This was 3rd hand from another forum so take it with a grain of salt.
Also, is the 1050 built better or is the 1050 just beefier to keep up with the added weight? I'm trying to decide if the extra 300 is worth it. To put it in perspective, I own a kamado Joe big Joe and use it about 4 times a year due to my Joe jr being so much efficient on fuel.
Bottom Level cast iron grate size comparison(560 vs 1050) from Left to Right width____ how many inches different??? Excited to visit your Simi Valley store.
Looking at the shot at the end of the inside of the lid on the 1050, it looks shiny. Is that a covering for shipping or did they address the paint blistering they had on on the 560?
Tangier Clarke yes, free drop shipping is the promotion. They back order for shipping is until the end of May. We are waiting for a few more units to be available in our store in Simi Valley.
If you are like me, and love the flavor of charcoal grilled meat, do NOT buy this grill. The charcoal is merely your heat source and your meat is never exposed to direct heat over the coals. Reverse searing results in some minimal charcoal flavor, but high heat grilling like burgers or chicken breast, absolutely NO charcoal flavor. That's why all of these videos they use so much seasoning or rubs. So if you love the taste of charcoal do not waste 500.00 dollars here, stick with your Weber Kettle. Sorry guys
I bought a MB that was a total lemon. It ended up on the curb for scrap. Great concept but flimsy materials and sloppy construction. You couldn't give me anything made by this company.

Really good price points
Can someone talk about the firebox issue in the reviews.
How does it work in the winter?

Tangier Clarke we’ve been told they’ve made improvements in this area. It’s hard to tell on these two assembled units.

that 1050 is calling my name....

How stable is the temp running compared to a stumps or old country?
Hi. Any chance you can post the dimensions of the primary cooking grate for each unit?
Great review....I’m in Pa do you ship these grills?
Get on on Amazon, free shipping

Good job
How long does fogo, kj lump last in these units?
When will the 1050 be available?
When will the 1050 be back in stock?
Looking at the shot at the end of the inside of the lid on the 1050, it looks shiny. Is that a covering for shipping or did they address the paint blistering they had on on the 560?
Daniel Delzell on which lid? The hopper?
@@TheBBQHQ yes. It just looked like it had a shiny coating. I was wondering if it was improved over the 560.
Thanks.
Okay but can it work with a Billows™ BBQ Temperature Control Fan, how where?
Not easily…billows fan would take place of the stock fan. That would require some work.
1050 Shelf width?
Is the free shipping a promotion? How much is shipping for something this large to Los Angeles?
Tangier Clarke yes, free drop shipping is the promotion. They back order for shipping is until the end of May. We are waiting for a few more units to be available in our store in Simi Valley.
Can I order or buy the 1050
Yes. Available at thebbqhq.com. Currently they are backordered until mid June.
What scared me i see ppl selling mods for grill because parts are made cheap and went cheap on plug in. My 🐕 chew it up easy

Don’t disagree with your sentiments. Reason why we’ve stopped selling MB products.
