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.

Would RecommendI’ve used this grill 5 times now and enjoy the flavor it gives my food everytime I use it. If you love smoked food and want something with depth this is a solid built unit and feels like it’s built to last longer than 5 years which is when you’ll have to trade in your old pellet grill If you’ve never used charcoal like me before this it does take a little time to get used to but once you have the start up process dialed in you’re golden. I’ve done brisket, sausages, hamburgers, wings and ribs...

Large Temperature Swings
Would Not RecommendThe unit dumps a large amount of heat when opened, as expected. The problem occurs when the lid is closed and the fan kicks back on. Huge temperature overshoot of 50 degrees or more above the setpoint. Behaves as though it just has an on/off thermostat rather than a temperature control algorithm. Takes about 15 minutes to return to the setpoint.

Well built
Would RecommendThis grill feels very high quality. It took me a few hours to put together, but was relatively easy. Make sure you get someone to help you pick it up. So far I’ve smoked ribs, chuck roast, baked beans, and garlic in it and all have been delicious. I debated between the XT and the 1050 but I’m glad I got the XT. Seems to be more worry-free than other MB models.

Even better
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the 1050 series and upgraded to the Xt , let me tell ya, the 1050 is fantastic, but the xt is out of this world, I gave my 1050 to a friend he is blown away by it and had a trager and not made him a masterbuilt fan, the xt with its bells an whistles they are second to none, anyone become smoking bbq legend

Charcoal without the wait!
Would RecommendI’ve had the Gravity XT for about two months and love it! First off, the grill is huge! I could probably feed my entire neighborhood. Assembly is a bit of a task and requires two people but once it’s assembled, your work is done. This grill is incredibly easy to operate, and there is so much room available for preparation with the front and side folding shelves. This grills reaches temp very fast for charcoal. Most of my cooks have been around 275-400 degrees and it takes 12-15 minutes to reach ...

The XT is for me.
Would RecommendSold my pellet smoker because I wasn’t getting the charcoal/smoke flavor I wanted. The XT has not disappointed me. Pork, Chicken, even Pizza. The XT makes everything well and delivers a perfect smoked flavor.
