Hard to keep it temp low on stick burn if we need both dampers open seems.

[@Mgrills]

Ryan Ludwig if you use less wood or smaller sizes then it’s not a problem. You can start to shut the damper a down to lower temps but once you do you will allow more smoke. Some people like more smoke while others want very clean smoke. There’s always a happy medium. But if you are worried about temps when burning logs, just throw in a single stick at a time.

[@Flip5773]

Question....on the M1...do you have any idea with a full load of charcoal and using something like Flame Boss set at 225, how long can you get out of a load???

[@Mgrills]

@@Flip5773 Depending on the charcoal, anywhere from 4 to 6 hours is typical.

[@Flip5773]

@@Mgrills okay....one more question...if one wanted to spend the money, could you build a fully insulated M1 both pit and firebox...and if so what would that cost.

[@rogerl8488]

Dam this a life time grill build like a tank!!!

[@kingkielbasa2991]

The M36 Is one badd ass do it all cooker !!!

[@charlesbirchfield5066]

Love these grills and smokers. Idea for my needs and for the small area I have to use the smoker. But it’s just not idea for my budget. But a wonderful product. Maybe I can find one used and own one.

[@gtsum2]

really nice! I am starting to second guess my M1 purchase I made a couple of months ago...that M36 is nice!

[@drtwwestfall]

gtsum2 do you want to sell your MI?

[@marklg5928]

Time to upgrade my M1... works perfectly fine, but the M36 is a bigger and better beast!

[@RumandCook]

Interesting concept. Just for future reference, if you put 0:00 Introduction, 06:54 Charcoal Smoking, etc. in the description, KZbin will add the chapters in the video for you.

[@dlnyc007]

Its all the grills I want in one excellent work.

[@WildChinoise]

I really like the MOAG. I'm saving up my shekels. LOLS There is one thing that I've been looking for in a grill. Is there a post or hanger of some sort that can hang (multiple) meat or poultry over the searing box? When I was young, my family used to get Chinese style roast pork, chicken or duck from the Chinese BBQ shops or markets. The main feature was having rendered fat dripping on the coals. The resulting flames and smoke added a distinct flavor onto the meat that is amazing!

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

That thing looks sick!!! Wish I had the loot for one.

[@djlansing]

Lonestar grills or Pitts & Spitts. *Def better option!!* Either company offers 10 gauge Stainless units & they're both under $3,000. How y'all get $6,000 for the all SS M36 unit is unbelievable!!

[@DyaTrill]

Pretty cool pit. Very diverse style.

[@danielrichards2580]

Do you have any videos on smoking multiple briskets or pork buts, does the indirect cooking do well? Looks like a good cooker .

[@mr.esabsurditiesatrocities1805]

This looks outstanding.

[@Taosravenfan]

Well done video

[@hectorolmo7995]

The smoker is ok, but the car in the garage... seems like a beauty!!!!! Cobra?

[@gm3353]

i was eyeballing the cobra too! i need one of each of these beasts, please

[@paulmarion7578]

Love your grill but I can’t really see it but I think that’s a cobra in the garage i love that more !

[@drtwwestfall]

It seems to me if that top shelve could move front to back you could cook “Santa Maria” style with open wood flame and just adjust the lower charcoal/wood grate box to the right height to control temperatures.

[@Mgrills]

You absolutely can. The top shelf hangs over enough to definitely cook Santa Maria style.

[@davidjanuszewski5020]

Really nice engineering on this grill. How does the crank-mechanism work, gears , cable, just what, does it need lubed?

[@Mgrills]

No gears or cables. Just a simple threaded stainless steel crank with a machined brass nutt that pushes a metal plate. Its extremely simple and very well built.

[@cdimi13]

Is a rotisserie option possible ?

[@afro208]

Where do you place the rotisserie ?

[@fatboy0817]

Cool Hasty Bake 😂

[@johnmackenzie8821]

very nice looking smoker. the Cobra in the garage maybe nicer ?? !!!

[@drtwwestfall]

Are the fire boxes the same size on the M1 and M36. Or is the M36 larger?

[@Mgrills]

The firebox baskets are the same size. But the firebox itself is larger and more insulated. We are working on a new replacement firebox basket that will allow a deeper amount of charcoal for even longer burn times!

[@JohnPaulHerold]

Epic

[@TurnII]

Overpriced for me......will consider LSG OFF SET SMOKER!

[@drtwwestfall]

Does the M1 have a removable baffle tuning plate for heat air flow?

[@Mgrills]

No it does not. There is nothing to remove or put in place for grilling and smoking. The baffle is already in place and tuned to perfection.

[@Mgrills]

Yes it does. There is a stainless baffle cover plate that can be removed to allow more heat into the cooking area. This will allow higher baking temperatures into the cooking area while using the same amount of fuel in the firebox. This plate also keeps ash from falling into the baffle opening when charcoal grilling.

[@benschlimme6947]

Great video! Didn't think the M36 had a bigger firebox than the M1 but now that it does.... Hmmm.... My M1 needs a big brother!! Do you have a port/hole for probes or on the new gen do you just let them fall between the lid and base?

[@Mgrills]

Ben Schlimme it’s actually the same size firebox basket as the M1. The gasket is thick enough to allow you to place probe wires throughout the lid of the cooker.

[@Tuckered_]

Why do Grill makers never show the construction of their grate adjustment mechanisms? Is it a Rack and pinion system or a cable system?

[@Mgrills]

Ours works by simply cranking in our 1/2" stainless hand crank which hits a steel welded plate on a solid 5/8" stainless steel round bar. The round bar has steel "arms" attached to it. That bar then rotates up or down which lifts or lowers the arms. It's a very simple mechanism and we use thick, solid, and sturdy materials to drive our mechanism.

[@drtwwestfall]

Can the M1 have the same look...ie the sand blasted look and not painted?

[@Mgrills]

absolutely. Send us an email at [e-mail] and we can do this for you.

[@cbwillpower]

Can you make a Santa Maria attachment?

[@whobanger]

You should put the wood in the ash catch area so the embers hit the wood and you can get a nice clean smoke. I bet it would take less wood as well.

[@danamcwhite]

Why not put the Exhaust on the Opposite side of the Fire?

[@Mgrills]

This style of draft is called "Reverse Airflow". The heat from the firebox travels under a 'baffle' and enters the cooking area on the far opposite side. The stack being on the same side as the firebox allows the heat to pass back over the food which allows far stable even temperates over the cooking surface than a traditional offset smoker.

[@tacomaster7411]

WHERE DOES GREASE GO?

[@jasonmcbrayer5354]

How much

[@bigdchi]

Nice but way too much work and time to get it at the desired temperature. How many people want to go to all of this trouble everytime they smoke.

[@frankschimel]

Be careful using wood. The paint on my unit peeled right off the side. Not happy. This never happened with my $80 weber no matter how hot it got.

[@Mgrills]

If the paint peeled off while using wood, you might have got the firebox way too hot by using too much wood or too large of wood. When you were using wood, how hot was your temperature gauge reading located on the lid?

[@texasdboxoutdoors746]

A pinch pricey

[@jasonhenley9332]

Dude can barely control his own firebox and has a 36" grill. Bro, show me how to run splits on a 60"
