What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the authentic charcoal flavor, calling it unmatched compared to pellet or gas alternatives. Many highlight the ability to sear steaks at 700°F and smoke briskets on the same grill, achieving perfect smoke rings consistently. Reviewers emphasize the gravity-fed design eliminates traditional charcoal hassle while maintaining stable temperatures like a pellet grill. The heavy-gauge construction is repeatedly described as built like a tank with exceptional durability. A few report isolated technical issues, but most consider the flavor and convenience well worth any minor drawbacks.

Terrible Repairability and wants to break

Would Not Recommend

Right away, the wifi performance was terrible, I requested help and got a new head unit. I thought this was good service. The replacement SUUUUUCKED. The smoker IS NOT built to be repaired. It's built like some engineer in CAD thought it'd be repairable, but it truly sucks to mess with the headunit. The clearances are awful, the cords hang with no slop as you're contorting your hand to undo screws. It's really annoying. But I got it done - wifi still sucked (it's not my network) but I was going ...

Unfortunate

I wanted to love this thing, but it failed in several aspects. I live in a humid climate, and the grill is also outside when it rains. So after a cook, if there is ash at the bottom of the fuel compartment, it tends to cake up, making the lighting of the fuel impossible the next time. On the other end, where the fuel is loaded, it accepts briquettes and lump charcoal. If you load lump charcoal, there is the chance that the pieces of charcoal may lock together (or “bridge”) and prevent the stack ...

Thank you for your review. After each use, the ash tray and inside of the bottom hopper should be cleaned once the ashes have completely cooled. Use d... Read More

Best of All Worlds!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found out about this smoker several weeks after having purchased a pellet smoker and boy was I upset! I still decided that I had to have it and I’m so glad I got. It has the ease of a pellet smoker, the taste of charcoal and/or wood, and the flame kissed taste of fire. It doesn’t get any better!

Awesome overall

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is awesome overall. If you're a charcoal guy or gal looking for "set and forget" function, this is the closest rival to a pellet grill I've found. Better in my opinion. I've cooked low and slow all day and seared steaks, burgers, brats ect. Results are very impressive. Pit temp is very steady and heats up fast. The grill will be ready before your burgers are. A few minor things... on a super hot summer day, I had to choke th...

Best Purchase Ever!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this bad boy about 2 months ago and have not stopped cooking on it. This was my first ever smoker and before buying I always check reviews and friend’s personal experiences. I have some that had pellets and some that had MasterBuilt. The ones that had pellets said they were ok, but the ones that had MasterBuilt, had zero complaints and all praise. Long story short, for someone whose never smoked anything in there life until now, I love...

Reliability issues

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the XT in early July. Setup was straight forward and the instructions are very clear. I did the burn off. I have since used it maybe 6 times. It is very easy to use. The app is great and it’s easy to clean. Have also found some nice recipes in the app and hope to try those out sometime. Well… the 7th or so time I went to use it, the screen was blank and never even lit up. Confirmed power to the outlet, unplugged for a while, confirmed ...

It's a BEAST!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this grill a month ago. What an upgrade over my old pellet grill. The temperature holds rock solid so far. The cleaning is a breeze with stainless grill grates. I loved going back to lump charcoal with wood chunks sprinkled in, so much better flavor! The hopper easily handled an 8 hour cook with lots of room to spare. I know I'm talking this machine up, but so far, it's been my best grill ever. And I've had several over the years.

Glad I made the right choice

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far the grill has been impressive. I'm glad I chose the Gravity XT over choosing a pellet grill, I get to keep the flavor of charcoal and have have the option to add wood to increase the flavor. More people need to know about these grills.

Easy versatility

I did a 20 lb brisket one weekend. Came out perfectly. The next weekend we had a pizza party. And last night we grilled ribeyes. This is the most versatile cooking machine I've ever owned.

Boss, Pit Boss.

Would Recommend

I had the 1050 for over five years and I thought it was the best smoker I had ever used. Well, the XT has made me rethink that position! It truly is the boss! For those of you looking and thinking it is not much different from the 1050 or 1100, you are WRONG! Start with the weight of this thing. The 1050 I could pick up myself with no really issues. The XT took me, and my two sons-in-law to pick it up off the pallet! Did I just say pallet? YES! This thing is so big and heavy it is shipped on...
