What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the grill for delivering authentic charcoal flavor, remarkable versatility, and set-it-and-forget-it convenience. Many highlight the gravity-fed system's ability to smoke, grill, sear, and rotisserie with consistent results across hundreds of cooks. Reviewers consistently report three to five years of reliable use without major issues, calling it a workhorse and best investment. A small number mention controller or fan failures after extended use, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by widespread satisfaction with performance and flavor.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Masterbuilt 1050 gravity-fed smoker offers the best of both worlds, combining the ease of use of a pellet smoker with the full flavor of charcoal/wood. I bought mine a few months after it first launched, and it is still going strong. The only issue I have is that the plastic trim all cracked, but that is to be expected since I live in the Arizona heat.

Mfr defects but works well
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the 800, but out of the box there were two major defects I had to repair. The hopper lid seal was not installed correctly and the back corner of the seal was not screwed into the lid. One would think this would not be a big deal but the seal didnt lie flat as it should have and it created a crease on the seal. I removed the screw and slid the seal into the lid as it is supposed to be but since the seal was creased it does not s...

Best ever
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the smaller gravity series 560. I upgraded almost a year ago to the 800 and I love it. Its so simple to use and the only moving part is the fan! Less things to go wrong. I can throw real wood splits in it with the long smokes. Its an overall awesome grill and I see no need for a pellet grill over one of these!

Great smoker that blends electric and charcoal
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this smoker really stands out because it gives you the best of both worlds. You can use wood and charcoal to get real smoke flavor (something you cant do well with a Traeger) while also having the convenience of a traeger. It can also be heated up to 700F pretty quickly and used as a regular grill. I love it. I just wish the metal was a bit thicker.

Great Grill, Smoker, BBQ
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gravity Series 1050 Digital Charcoal Grill is great for its ability to get charcoal flavor while combining modern, "set-and-forget" digital control. Much better option than your pellet grills. This Gravity-Fed hopper system and DigitalFan automatically regulate airflow are great, and easy to maintain. Temps are precise and adjust quickly. You can get it searing hot in minutes. The wifi and app are seamless and easy to maneuver. I...

Great & Versatile Smoker/Grill/Pizza Oven!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how much I can do with this! It is a good smoker that allows you to use traditional fuel (no pellets!) while still taking advantage of new technology (wifi, app, probe, etc.). My only complaint is the occasional struggle to ignite, which I understand has been addressed with the newer model.
