Great Unit

Great Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best smoker I have came across for price. It’s amazing is all I can say. Buy one you won’t be sorry.

800 series

I have replaced two fans, two control panels, and wiring once and still having problems with the fan. When it’s working I love this grill.

Gravity is the best smoker/grill I have ever owned

After researching for a new smoker for months, I landed on the Gravity 800. It handles smoking, grilling and even a flat top. Since I use only pure charcoal without extra chemicals I feel better about the cook Temperature consistency is spot on all the time and the offset design makes an excellent smoker where I can add wood chunks without opening the cook area. The controller did go out but Masterbuilt replaced under warranty with no issues. I have made many tasty meals; smoked meats and f...

Temperature control is amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purposely ran it through the ringer to see how quickly it could change temperatures and i was very impressed. From 700 degrees down to around 200 and then seeing how consistently it could maintain a set temperature for a prolonged period of time. This things a beast and does a great job!

Stay Away!!

bought it, just a little over a year later the display stops working. Master built not built to last but to keep taking your money from you. choose another product that might be willing to help their customers more and build a product that is built to last.. this is built to keep taking your money.

Great Flavor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second smoker / grill unit. I previously owned a Camp Chef pellet smoker and this unit I feel provides much better temperature control and flavor. My one and only complaint is that the controller began to malfunction roughly after one year of service and the wifi connectivity with the app is atrocious. I just ordered a replacement controller as I was no longer able to adjust the temperature settings at all on the grill. It is the...

Excellent Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried other vertical smokers and pellet grills and none were able to get the smoke flavor i was looking for. Masterbuilt's gravity fed hit the nail on the head with both smoke flavor and ease of use. It is almost set and forget easy. I have used it so much I just had to replace the smoke tube in the bottom after about 4 years. I have also recommended this to several friends who ask for a smoker/grill recommendation. I have cooked fish, s...

800 series gravity/wifi/griddle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this grill 3 weeks ago and so far it has definitely lived up to my expectations. From the ease of set up to every use.

Gravity fed goodness +electrical tape and hope

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Gravity Series 1050 for 3 seasons now and while I like it for long smokes, there are some details that are less than desirable. The gravity-fed system holds temperature impressively well once dialed in, and the large cooking area handles briskets, ribs, and multiple racks with ease. That said, build quality on the electronic components leaves a lot to be desired. The control panel buttons cracked and began deteriorating wit...

Charcoal the only way to go!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Famly bought this unit for me for Father's day two years ago. I love it not only can I do charcoal, I can throw in pellets for the perfect blend or wood chips. I have done a turkey,Tritip, Ribs, burgers what ever the meat is you cant go wrong with these units. Outstanding performance!!!

Masterbuilt is the Masterpiece

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unbelievable grill, griddle, smoker. This Masterbuilt 800 replace not one, but four cookers….my Treager, gas grill, charcoal grill/offset smoker and a blackstone griddle. Sold all of them. The 800 does it all and so easy to use and monitor all the temps of the grill and meat with probes all through the Bluetooth and their amazing Masterbuilt App.

Constant Temperature and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My brother gifted me the 800 series grill last February for my birthday. We assembled it and have been usiing it on a regular basis. I love the fact that this grill takes the guessing out of cooking with too hot or too low a temp. I have used it as a grill for steaks and burgers, a smoker for some butts and briskets and with the griddle for some tripitas. This grill has given me peace of mind because once the temperature is set, the rest is...

Review MasterBuilt 800

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to pick up a Gravity 800 a few years back and it has been great. I just cooked a Turkey on it and it came out great !

the good and the bad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this grill for the consistent heat control as well as the remote control. I have used it to smoke ribs, brisket as well as to cook steak and chicken. the only thing that I did not realize is you have to clean and maintain this grill or heat manifold thing rusts. I have had to replace it after a little more than a year. I just did not pay attention to it until it was too late. If you take care of your grill, it works great.

Great versatility

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have owned this grill for 6 years. Takles anything from seafood to pizza. Only two issues that didn't allow me to give it 5-stars. One. The hopper and specifically the burn area has rusted/disintegrated but still usable and Two, the apps are very finicky and rarely work.

Wanted to love it but......

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After three uses with temp set at 225 and 250, the inner wall of the firebox is very warped. The entire lower wall is bulging. Emailed Masterbuilt and got no response. Uses massive amounts of charcoal.

Win the game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my masterbuilt. It has changed the way I grill and smoke. I am now smoking dinner at least once a week and grill atleast 4 days a week. I have even baked dessert in it. Smoked cherry cobbler, yes please! I now get asked by my friends to cook for large parties and have done events up to a hundred people with briskets , ribs and even smoke veggies. I have recommended this 1050 to 3 of my friends who all use them regularly. It ...

Couldn’t Be Happier With This Grill & Smoker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t usually write reviews, but the Masterbuilt 1050 Gravity Series deserves one. This grill has completely changed the way I cook outdoors. The flavor is unbelievable — real charcoal taste with the kind of heat control you’d expect from a high-end pellet or gas grill. What sold me was the convenience. I load the hopper once and I’m good for hours. It heats up fast and holds temp perfectly, whether I’m smoking ribs low and slow or searing...
