Fast delivery, spot-on quality material. This stainless steel insert is a must-have upgrade for improved safety, and longer-lasting performance of your Masterbuilt.
Fast delivery and spot-on quality material! The stainless steel easily withstands the heat, just as it should. Installation was straightforward, but a word of caution: take care not to damage the fire brick insulation when removing the original parts to install this insert. I purchased this insert for the charcoal hopper because the original metal plates in front of the fire bricks had already burned through after just a few months of use on my brand new Masterbuilt 800.I removed those damaged plates and replaced them with this stainless steel "firebox" insert. It fits well, and after several times of using it for some low & slow test runs, I can confirm it works perfectly. Yes, Masterbuilt officially states that the metal plates are designed to degrade over time, and that the fire bricks are food safe and heat resistant. Still, this feels like a design flaw. Seeing the original plates burn through so quickly — exposing the fire bricks directly to hot coals while the fan blows the air toward the food — didn’t sit well with me. Why not use stainless steel plates to prevent this? With this upgrade, I feel much safer knowing there's no chance of insulation debris being blown onto the food. Plus, I expect the overall lifespan of the barbecue to be much better protected. That peace of mind alone makes it worth it for me.
Très bon service après vente qui suite à une erreur dans l'évaluation des frais de port a fait un geste commercial en ma faveur. Merci Grilrost !
