Initially the temps match pretty closely, but once the pit reaches its set-point, the right grate will hold closer to the set-point, while the left grate will start dropping in temp. So here's what I've observed initially about temperature variation. The second is when it was sealed up, it was almost too airtight causing some dirty combustion when using something like a BBQ Stoker to control the fan. The first was when you'd open the door to tend meat (larger capacity so it takes time), the charcoal would go roaring off and then it was hard to maintain the set temperature after that. I had an Assassin 28" gravity feed and there were two things I didn't like. Like the silicone flapper by the draft fan to limit oxygen intake during fan off cycles for example. Looking at the design closer today, I do like the little things they've done. However, it's not hard assembly, just a bit time consuming. I can tell they saved some cost on labor, because you have to do a lot more work with assembly than I've had to do with any other smoker I've purchased. Would I pay double for more stainless, thicker materials, a bit more polish and insulation? You betcha, but overall I'm actually pretty surprised by the bang for the buck. From what I understand this one is better made then the 560. For the price point of this cooker at $800, I didn't find it to be lacking in quality. I think I've seen what you mean about the 560. If this thread should be moved, just let me know. The next post will be the initial assembly pics. No fitment issues - went together without much hassle. I went into this with some knowledge, so I didn't have to wing it as much as I did with the Smokefire EX6. My initial impressions are quite positive after assembly and the reviews have been pretty positive as well. I just completed assembly and am going to go out and set up the rotisserie and Rib-o-lator since both of those arrived before the grill did.

Once I do my burn-in, I'll update the thread with more details.

Once I get that, I'll have to partially disassemble the firebox/chute to install it. I'm not going to do my burn-in until I get the firebox liner which is due to arrive on August 12th.

Normally I've not purchased mods before getting the grill/smoker, but in this case my research showed that these were good mods to have to improve the clean-ability. In terms of initial mods, this is what I ordered: Masterbuilt OEM Rotisserie kit (works with both the 5).In terms of OEM or aftermarket accessories, I purchased the following: Going to be a pain in the *** to clean it and not make a mess. Grease cup placement is pretty piss-poor IMO.Potential to overflow when cooking multiple large cuts of meat at one time. Potential for grease fires (similar to that of the Smokefire's design without a diffuser/drip-tray).Controller temp and set-point may not match.

Grate temps can vary across the cooking space.

Firebox design shows heat damage with limited use (from my research).

I almost feel like it's a tailgate of a 2000's Toyota Tundra it has so much stuff going on. There are some cons, some of which I noticed:

Well packaged for shipping (though mine did have one ding on the body).

Runs well on briquettes or lump charcoal.

Wood chunks can be placed in the chute or in the ash pan.

This appears to be accurate and some folks show the grill beats that.

225 Degrees in 7 minutes and 700 in 15 minutes.

I was surprised but it feels more solid than the Smokefire EX6 or Woodwind 36

Good accessory offerings (Rotisserie and cover).

Temperature control from reading reviews seems to show fairly good even control.

160-700 Degree temperature operating range.Cast-iron reversible cooking grates (Sear/Smoke).With that said, it comes with a lot of bang for the buck which is impressive at this price point: It doesn't have the robustness of the Smokefire or the overall polished fit and finish. My initial impressions of this cooker is actually quite good. Assembly took place on August 11th, 2020. It shipped quickly and I received it in less than a week.

I ordered it from Amazon at the MSRP price of $799.

Right now it's hard to come by one, but stock seems to be building back up. As of today, I believe it's been out for 60-90 days. It was a bit different than the Smokefire, since I didn't buy it straight at launch time. I found some forum posts and videos, which I proceeded to do my homework. I didn't know what the heck it was, so when I checked it out I was intrigued. I ordered the Masterbuilt 1050 after YouTube suggested a video of it to me while I was watching some cooking programs. I'll post up my honest opinion but that opinion is just that, an opinion. Initial assembly, to burn-in, to mods, to various cooks. So if any of you have checked out my other posts about the Smokefire EX6 and the Campchef Woodwind 36, this will be a similar thread.
