Would RecommendAfter 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!
Would Recommend[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!

Great Flavor
Would Recommend[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
Would Recommend[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...

Gravity fed goodness +electrical tape and hope
Would Recommend[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...

Masterbuilt is the Masterpiece
Would Recommend[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.
Would Recommend[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
Would Recommend[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
Would Recommend[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
Would Recommend[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......
Would Not Recommend[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
Would Recommend[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!
Would Not Recommend[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...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Still Smoking Strong After All These Ye
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my Masterbuilt 1050 for several years now—honestly, I’ve lost count! I got it right around the time it was first introduced as a birthday gift from my wife (after dropping a few well-placed hints 😊). This smoker has held up amazingly well over the years, and I love it just as much today as the day I got it. I’ve cooked everything from turkeys and briskets to ribs and pizzas—just about anything you can think of—and it’s never let me...

The Masterbuilt 1050 gravity series are great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my gravity 1050 about 2 years ago and it is the best thing I have ever bought. I bought a pitboss 1150 2 days before I bought the Masterbuilt and I knew when I bought The Masterbuilt that I was keeping it for sure over the pitboss. I threw the pitboss in the trash because it sucked compared to the masterbuilt. I cook and smoke everything on it. It has such a better flavor than a pellet smoke and it is so easy to use. I have easily over...
