Ratings & Reviews for Masterbuilt Gravity Series 28-in W Black Charcoal Grill

“Best Smoker on the Market – Ribs Have Never Been

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Best Smoker on the Market – Ribs Have Never Been This Good!” I’ve owned quite a few smokers over the years, but nothing compares to my Masterbuilt Gravity Series® 1150. Hands down, this is the best smoker on the market for anyone who takes their barbecue seriously. I bought it mainly for smoking ribs, but it’s turned into my go-to for everything — brisket, chicken, pulled pork, even pizzas on the weekends. What really makes it shin...

Easy to use loaded with several great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gravity series vertical smoker is very easy to use as both a smoker or traditional charcoal barbecue grill. The digital readouts coupled with an online application to monitor temperature and smoker time as well as internal temperature of the item you are smoking is great and allows you to set the parameters and go about your other daily tasks while the smoker does its work. The flavor of the smoked items in the gravity series is outstanding...

I Wish I Could Give It 4.5 Stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Gravity Series 1050 for over 5 years now, and it has been a great investment. From grilling to smoking, this grill has done it all! I love the design of the gravity feed as opposed to an auger style with pellets. The fact that I can use lump charcoal and add a variety of wood chunks for smoking is a definite plus. I do believe this model was one of the first ones as there have been some improvements on more recent ones. I would gi...

Hands Off and Worry Free

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned my 1050 smoker/grill going on 4 years now. It is the first and only smoker I have ever owned. After doing a bit a research and receiving a personal recommendation for the Masterbuilt Gravity series, I decided on the1050. I have not been disappointed. I love the fact that I can load the bin with regular charcoal, fire it up, set the temperature control, and let it run for hours without any further tending. The remote control and ...

Awesome bbq grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the gravity smoker. I have a pellet smoker, also a offset smoker but the masterbuilt gravity is my favorite for the best flavor and ease of use these grills are the real deal.

Only grill I bought in 20 years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only cooked over open flames for 17 years before this grill came out because nothing could give food the same flavor. This grill changed all that! Because this grill uses real hardwood you get the same flavor as open flame cooking but with more control and in significantly less time. Being able to dial in an exact temperature using real hardwood is a paradigm shift for purists. The grill heats the hardwood to temperature in just minutes and c...

Awesome Grill and Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this for 2 years. Best purchase I’ve made for cooking:)

Gravity Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this for about 3 years. There is a little bit of a learning curve from switching to this from an offset smoker but nothing to bad. I’ve smoked about everything on it. They always turn out pretty good. The only bad thing is that it’s hard to get a good crust on it. I’ve had to replace the digital control pad but other than that it’s ran without any problems.

Best grill/smoker/griddle ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this smoker for 2 years now. I have one our churches father day smoked pork butt competition. Beating out much more expensive guys with offsets and pellet grills. Love that I can use a variety of fuel sources. It’s amazing at coming to temp very quickly. The fact that I can smoke at 175 but also sear a steak at 700 degrees is just amazing. This is the best grill smoker combo on the market hands down.

Easy to use and versatile

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my 1050 for a little over 3 years and it has worked fantastic the entire time. Keep it clean and the interior parts like the manifold won’t rust out, and even if it does it is so easy to get replacement parts. It is large enough to even do whole turkeys with room to spare. It works great with a mix of charcoal and wood chunks, and can handle longer cooks with being checked every 2 - 3 hours just fine.

Masterbuilt 800 series

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a charcoal-powered, tech-savvy, all-in-one outdoor cooker, the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800+ delivers. It’s ideal for backyard enthusiasts who want the flavor of lump charcoal with the ease of digital control. While it’s not perfect, its versatility and performance justify the price tag.

Primary cooking source

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it 4 to 5 times a week. Only issue is with the controller adjustment knob. It is very irradic when adjusting.

Grill, smoke, griddle, all in one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my master built for years. Grilling, smoking, or using the griddle, a great all in one product!

Gravity Series

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son owns this and it is wonderful. The meat always comes out so juicy & tender. I love this.

Great smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this 4-5 years ago and I still use it. Works good, other than the digital temp controller is finicky in the cold weather

Best smoker ever!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my 1050 on a whim after the auger on my pellet smoker quit working. Best decision ever. I fire up that bad boy 3 or more times a week. My wife says the ribs I have near perfected and the smoked salmon is amazing. During the summer months I take it to our seasonal site at the campground and it’s normal to have a brisket going all night long, pork butts several times a year. I am a huge fan of Masterbuilt and am strongly considering purc...

The best grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this grill a couple of years ago, by far the best charcoal grill i ever had. The easiest way to start a grill and very friendly for any genre or age. The features are great. I really love this grill.

Nice smoker and grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my MB1050 for5 years now. I've smoked dozens of pork butts, several racks of pork ribs, plenty of chicken and a few turkeys. It is also great for steaks and burgers and hot dogs. I really like that for the long cooks just fill the hopper and set the temperature and leave it for several hours. The app for mobile phones is also a big help to check on it from a distance. The 1050 has been a great product and my favorite grill/smoker that ...

Best Grill Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this grill as a gift. WOW. What a smart design. The gravity feed is awesome. Maintaining a constant temp is easy.
