Your garage is an amusement park for bbq fanatics. Love the channel!

Thank you for Watching! Appreciate your support

[@Rbouch]

Looks like it does what it’s supposed to….a little pricey for some……great video, Tom, waiting to see Masterbuilts new gravity series at $1499…..again a bit pricey!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

@Rbouch Thanks for watching! You are correct $1400 is a bit pricey

[@michaelross3135]

Another great review Tom. I’m gonna wait till Masterbuilt takes your advise and makes the breadbox style adding a third rack 😂😂

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! Lol

[@Moshnberry]

Oh man.. your channel always cost me money.. you are great for these companies

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! Appreciate the feedback

[@gharv1313]

Great review Tom! Always honest and straightforward! Cheers 🍻

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thank you!

[@HaroldCundal]

Another great review, thanks Tom! I've been hoping they'd put the Char-Griller heat diffuser setup in the XT, so this makes me optimistic. If so, I think that'll be the king of the hill when it finally makes it to the shelves. Can't wait!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Harold!

Very thorough review this might be my new BBQ I will be purchasing.

Thanks for watching!

[@davidmann1579]

Just bought mine (home depot assembled) - great video

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching David! Enjoy!

[@tedz.]

I am amazed at how fast it responded to and maintained your temperature settings. I concur with your assessment, need more real estate inside. That sear plate on top of the charcoal box is a winner, just wish it was bigger.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks Ted! I agree

[@ericpetersen8155]

Great review!!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks Eric!

[@chucksw1]

Another great review! Thanks Neighbor:)

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Neighbor?

[@chucksw1]

We live in the same general area😊

[@hazman440]

They will take care of you, I think their customer service is pretty darn good, my 1050 came with a dent in the front shelf and I took a picture of it like they asked, sent it to them and four days later a new complete front shelf kit was at my front door

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Good to hear

[@garygrato3429]

Great video. Have you ever done a video on just grills you don’t like, sounds kinda interesting

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Gary! Appreciate the feedback and idea!

[@darbycarpenter3032]

Hey Tom. As always a great video. As you have shown The Middleby Corporation has cut corners again by putting in not only a flimsy rack but one that doesn't go all the way to the front. You know who loves The Middleby Corporation cutting conners????? Luke from LSS Mods. I am sure that we will be seeing some new products from him as flaws from the design start to emerge. I do agree, I think that the Char-Griller Gravity is on the way out. I love mine though!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! LSS does a great job.

[@TheMattstaub]

Love to see a head to head between this and the Tahoma 900. Space is not comparable but they are close in price, unlike the Masterbuilt XT

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Matt! Time will tell….

[@drzubradt]

Paint it the blue like the old 560. I miss that one. Are you planning on testing the 600 & the XT?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! The 600 for sure, not sure yet on the XT

[@webersbbq]

Can’t wait until you review the new Masterbuilt xt Tom.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Me too!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Me too!

[@michaelmcdonagh8400]

I have the Gravity Series 800. Can you shut off the burn in the hopper when finished or does it burn through all of the charcoal? Are there airflow cutoff plates like the 560/800?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Michel! No sliders, all that you put in will burn

[@chrisdomenici9107]

Now I want steak 🥩

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Chris!

[@jbelle5512]

Tom, I'm completely torn between this and the 560. I just can't decide, which one do you think is the better buy?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! I do like the 560, however it is being discontinued and being replaced with the new 600. I would take either of these over the 564

[@cheeznhard]

What's a 564?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

lol, 560

[@davo912]

Not true about the left over charcoal getting wasted..I have a galvanized Steel Locking Lid Storage Can, 6-Gallons bought at Walmart... remove the leftover into that can and kaboom..use it again...

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Interesting.. do you pull out the fire box and dump it in? I’ve noticed that after a cook there usually isn’t much worth saving

[@harrywarren5081]

Looks like it's flimsy and cheapfully made!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Harry! There are parts that are flimsy, like the top grill rack
