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 Not RecommendI ignored the warning signs in reviews and forums and bought the Masterbuilt XT anyway—big mistake. I’ve had it for less than a month, and the temperature readings are wildly inaccurate, sometimes fluctuating by 100–200 degrees. On top of that, it’s been nearly impossible to reach anyone for help or even submit a support request. For what this grill costs, that’s unacceptable, and I regret the purchase. Starting to feel like the positive reviews are just influencers and people who were gifted th...

Worth every penny
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I invested in an XT model, after buying a 1050 and using it for 3 years. The XT arrived and was easy to assemble. The Smoker was great at maintaining temperature, as well as easy to control temperature. The Smoker had plenty of metal parts: fan, heavy duty wheels, a digital display for obtaining the best barbecue known to mankind. Quick to start, clean up is a breeze, this is the best smoker I’ve ever owned. I was so impressed, I bought another...

Been wanting a master built gravity smoker / grill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually do not have this grill. I’ve been wanting to get one so bad for a while now. You can’t beat the taste of charcoal. That’s real American bbq flavor

Good, for all around evetyhting
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this smoker/grill as a Father’s Day/birthday gift, after I convinced my family that I needed it. It is very large, and well built, but lacks in a few areas. You do have to clean it very regularly, literally after every use. It does take a while to get to searing temperatures. It chews through the charcoal, for one pork shoulder (approx 22 hour smoke) I had to refill the hopper twice, so that was full to start and refill two m...

Gravity Series® XT Digital Charcoal Grill +
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to get away from pellets and use the wood flavors and charcoals that I prefer. I see this grill maintains a more stable temperature than either of my pellet grills. I trust the Masterbuilt engineers to design a dependable product and this definitely is. I wish it had auto ignition and an automatic shut off damper.

The Best Temp Control for Brisket!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my XT for over a year. Use it from low and slow to 700 for reverse seared Ribeyes. The amazing volume of this smoker with racking configurations makes smoking briskets for family gathering to catering a breeze. Large hopper lasts throughout the night easily to set it and forget it.

The Best Smoker I've ever Owned
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Masterbuilt Gravity Grill/Smoker rocks. I love the fact that I can smoke heavy just by burning more wood than charcoal. I believe I will be buying Masterbuilt Gravity Grill/Smokers the rest of my life.

Versatility at its best!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last year to pair with my Masterbuilt gravity series 1050. Many times I want to smoke a brisket along with a pork shoulder and virtually impossible to do both in the same cooker. So I Took a chance and bought this one and boy am I glad I did! This thing is amazing and cooks the food so evenly without drying it out. It is masterfully built And my food turns out perfectly each time. It’s a little on the pricey side, but it is wort...

Handle
good product. but yesterday the handle for the grate broke. I was already cooking. When the grate handle broke it closed the grate and shut the heat off. Alot of money for this grille for something simple to break like that

Awesome Purchase!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this smoker A few months ago. My wife was concerned that I wouldn’t use it enough. So far, I have proven her wrong. I’m using it at least a few times a week, and I’m enjoying every minute of it. I really like the ease of use. I’ve enjoyed trying different charcoals and woods. I’ve enjoyed the versatility that the Masterbuilt XT has given me with cooking a variety of foods. As a novice to low and slow smoking, having this smoker has bee...

XT is legit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from a kamado style grill there was a little learning curve but I've been much happier with my cooks so far.

Exceeded expectations!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned several charcoal grills over the years and by far this is the best one I have purchased. The Masterbuilt Gravity Series XT takes outdoor cooking to a whole new level. The digital control panel is a game-changer! I can set my exact temperature, walk away, and trust that it will stay rock-solid for hours. The convenience feels like a pellet grill, but I still get that authentic charcoal flavor that can’t be matched. The gravity-fed h...

Amazing Grill
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t sure if I made a good decision with the price point, but once I put this well built and well thought out grill together, I have been amazed with the versatility and flavor this grill brings to my cooking. I love the flavor of charcoal, and am still able to add the wood smoke with it. The controls are far superior to the other brands that I own and I am able to take the heat up much quicker at higher temperatures for searing as well! WO...

The Masterbuilt Gravity Series is considered winne
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Masterbuilt Gravity Series is considered a game-changer for many who want the flavor of charcoal with the ease of use of a pellet grill. They are highly praised for their performance, temperature control, and versatility. However, potential buyers should be aware of the reported quality control and long-term durability issues. If you're looking for a grill that offers a great cooking experience and don't mind the possibility of needing to p...

Great upgrades
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My previous unit was the 1050, it was fabulous, when I could no longer use it, I was bummed. It took almost all summer to come up with the funds for the XT. I have not cooked anything worthwhile yet, but I have a turkey thawing. Very excited, I know it will be amazing.
