Ratings & Reviews for Masterbuilt Gravity Series XT 24-in W Black Cart Charcoal Grill

Worth every penny!

I love my Masterbuilt and this one is even better!

Simply a beast

I love this thing! I have only used it twice - once for a couple of big ribeye and once for a couple of butts. All I can say is WOW! Tremendous smoke rings, flavor, and tenderness. Only ding is it was a bear to assemble by myself, and the legs were a real pain. But ease of use and flavor is tremendous and build quality is like a tank.

Masterbuilt 560

I bought the grill after owning many many other grills and smokers. I needed a new smoker. I search the information about lots of different grills and smokers. I looked at the Masterbuilt Gravity and thought I’d give it try. My thoughts were that if this girl does what I says it will do, I’ll find what I wanted. It did. To the point I got rid of all my other grills. Thank you, Masterbuilt!

Smoke Rings!

3 Rib Smokes, 2 Pork Butt Smokes, 1 Chuck Roast, 2 batches of beans and New York Steaks. Using an old charcoal smoker that finally rusted itself to death and decided to pull the trigger on an XT. Everything has smoke rings. The ribs were perfect, father in-law says it was the best meal he has ever had. And cooking the steaks, just as easy as a gas grill, but with the charcoal flavor! Same flavor as my old smoker but I no longer have to babysit every hour to "stoke" the pit. So easy to use ...

Tasteful design

This was a gift 4 years ago and it still performs well! I love the flavor of charcoal grills and this design makes it so easy to use. The level heat allows meats to cook without hot spots flaring up and burning me or the food.

560 Gravity grill

Their are a few issues that I would change but over all I am pretty satisfied

XT is Wonderful!

I bought the XT in early February, and started using it in March. I am completely new to smoking/grilling and gravity fed systems. The system is very easy to use, and I’ve used a combination of briquettes, lump Cole, Cherrywood, applewood, and pecan shells, and everything I’ve cooked has been amazing! Rotisserie chickens, burgers, pork shoulder and pork butt, pizzas and a brisket. It has a nice touch of flavor when using real wood, and I love the fact that I can shut it down in my fuel doesn’t...

Built like a tank

Didn’t start out great, there was a bad switch in the me ash door but a new one was sent to me right away and it’s been great ever since

Overall great easy to use smoker/grill

I just bought the gravity xt and I must say using this grill is like cheating it’s so easy to use.

Best thing to happen to charcoal grilling/smoking

I have had a Gravity 500 for about 3 years now and I love it. You get all the flavor of real wood and charcoal with the convenience of a pellet grill. The icing on the cake has to be going up to 700deg F to put a perfect sear on your steaks then turning around the next day and smoking a brisket at 225 all day on the same grill.

Great charcoal Grill

Easiest charcoal grill I’ve ever used. Maintains temps well and turns out great food.

Easy, great results, just set it and forget it.

I have had this smoker for about two years and I love it. I love to smoke meat and I do it so often I have my freezer full. We are an empty nest now and I can’t smoke as often I want. But when I do, I load it up (large cooking area) with everything and then freeze what’s left, I bought this from my son in law who had bought it and then had another one delivered he didn’t know his wife bought. He included a stainless steel replacement fire box which he said he had bought as the original thin meta...

Disappointed

The Gravity Series XT temperature control has not worked properly for the first two and only cooks. Temp fluctuations of 25-40 degrees above set temp. The hopper casing has at least on crack were smoke is escaping, not making it to the food.

Faulty Component after one cook.

The sensor in the top of the charcoal chamber wasn’t working after one smoke. I was able to find some folks on Reddit with ideas and mess around with it with a screwdriver to get it to work. Needless to say this is WAYYY too much money to spend on something and have a component not work after one cook. Once up and running a great product. Very versatile.

Love this grill

I love this grill. I waited a few years to buy this grill. Glad I did, bc I got the upgraded new model. Does run through coal fast. Gives great flavor and has lots of room. Was hard to put together. Took 3 people to left it. Would buy again.

Super!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The XT was one of the best purchases I made this past year. I purchased mine after helping my son assemble the one he purchased, and then hearing his rave reviews. The ease of using it, the electronics, the app and link to my phone, and of course, most importantly, the results I get when grilling and smoking on it... This is an excellent grill/smoker.

Love the upgrades

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought in Nov and have used it a few times. Love that the app automatically opens when grill is turned on!!!

Great grill/smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my XT right before Thanksgiving. I have smoked two turkeys, did a reverse sear on a prime rib roast, grilled hamburgers and cod plus other cooks. Everything has turned out amazing! I am definitely loving this grill. I started with stick burners, went to pellet , and now the gravity. It has the ease of a pellet grill with all the flavor of wood. I love that I can use hardwood lump or briquettes and add wood chunks.
