Please share. I don’t have Facebook and it’s a closed group.
It seems from a little looking in the one group I just checked out:
Some have had flair ups/ fire in the pit from grease. Maybe from not being cleaned enough or from real long cooks and then craning the temp. Not sure how much it happens or more specifics about that. I’m not sure if that is something that happened with these pellet type of grills or not...seems some have said there other brand did the same. I don’t have any experience with any of them.
There is some metal sleeves or something in the burn chamber with the charcoal and wood that some have had burn a hole through. It’s surrounded by the ceramic fire box I think so it’s not a big deal (I think master built said the same) but there are some people making replacement parts out of better metal that they are selling.
The lid of the fuel chamber might loose some paint from the heat? Rubbing some veg oil on it prevents rust.
It is a cheaper grill so there is some expectation that you get what you pay for meaning is not a Yoder that cost 2k so the material is not going to be like a Yoder. But they still love them and swear by them vs there other pellet grills they came from. If the master built was built like a tank it would cost more.
Is that what you gather too Hat Tricks?

This is what makes me really nervous about picking one of these up, Was thinking of getting one to replace my aging pellet. It seems this sleeve that someone is making should be a mod you do before you start smoking with it. I’ve not been impressed with how my neighbors 560 has been holding up, I would definitely go 1050 if I got one of these.

It's not the paint peeling, its build up from the fire, I guess creosote? Can either scrap it off or line the top with foil.

I'm not sure what this means? There are 2 metal sleeves that you have to take out before cooking and then replace when the unit is shut down to save charcoal.
