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 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.

Great first swing
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the first gen 800 series. I find the concept of the gravity fed charcoal to be an exceptional one. This unit has never let me down on a cook. It performs every time and many smiles and full stomachs have been achieved using the 800. The build quality is great in some ways, a bit cheap in others on the first Gen. From what I understand the newer generations have made some quality improvements. I have had this thing nearly 6 years. The ma...

Overall Great Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a gift from my wife for Christmas. I really enjoy smoking meats with it. I love the fuel efficiency and the ease of cleaning afterwards. The only problem I have is that my phone sometimes loses connection between the app and the control module.

Great Smokerq
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this smoker and had no idea in what I was getting. I watched YouTube videos trying to learn but to my surprise when it arrived it was so easy to set up. The very first thing that I cooked were some Tomahawk steaks and they were great! I smoked a turkey for Thanksgiving and now I find myself cooking on that more than I cook in my kitchen. It has been very cold here lately in Atlanta but there are no worries because I can just set it and...

Love my 1050!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my 1050 for over 5 years now. I take decent care to clean it after each use but it's had to sit out on my patio in the weather the entire time and it's still holding up great! I've had to replace some things over the years like the fan a couple times, a couple of the door sensor switches and the internal temp probe that reads the temp of the cooking area but for the price of the smoker I'll take replacing those small components every d...

Love it all year
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the 1050 for a few years and use it all year, and winter is cold and snowy here. I use as a smoker, grill and griddle. Other than the electronics acting a bit sluggish in really cold temps, it is a great grill.

BEST GRILL EVER
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this grill/smoker for a gift and it’s hands down the best grill I’ve ever had! Cooks very fast, even and love the pizza oven that goes inside of it! Cooks the best pizzas, steaks, chicken and ribs! So easy and I love that it’s not power hungry because I sometimes run it off a 40v power bank when I want to grill or smoke further from the house or bring it to a party!! It’s well built and comes standard with all the bells and whistles I ...

Built to last Masterbuilt 1050
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just happened to be browsing the web 2 years ago and came across an advertisement for a grill. I consider myself an early adopter of new technology and could hardly contain my excitement. What intrigued me most was not having to worry about stoking the fire. Well, my wife purchased one for me on Father’s Day 2 years ago. I absolutely love it. I then purchased the griddle and rotisserie kit. If you take care of the grill—keep it covered, c...
