Masterbuilt is the Masterpiece
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unbelievable grill, griddle, smoker. This Masterbuilt 800 replace not one, but four cookers….my Treager, gas grill, charcoal grill/offset smoker and a blackstone griddle. Sold all of them. The 800 does it all and so easy to use and monitor all the temps of the grill and meat with probes all through the Bluetooth and their amazing Masterbuilt App.

Constant Temperature and easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My brother gifted me the 800 series grill last February for my birthday. We assembled it and have been usiing it on a regular basis. I love the fact that this grill takes the guessing out of cooking with too hot or too low a temp. I have used it as a grill for steaks and burgers, a smoker for some butts and briskets and with the griddle for some tripitas.
This grill has given me peace of mind because once the temperature is set, the rest is up to who ever is cooking. For example, when I first used it as a smoker, I love that the temperature remained constant through out the entire smoke. I was able to check the temp on my phone the entire time. It was was very easy to use.

Win the game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my masterbuilt. It has changed the way I grill and smoke. I am now smoking dinner at least once a week and grill atleast 4 days a week. I have even baked dessert in it. Smoked cherry cobbler, yes please! I now get asked by my friends to cook for large parties and have done events up to a hundred people with briskets , ribs and even smoke veggies. I have recommended this 1050 to 3 of my friends who all use them regularly. It has changed the way our friend group does parties. With the consistent temperature , which is unmatched in the industry , it allows for even cooking. The temperature range to 700 degrees has helped when doing a reverse sear on the thickest of tomahawk steaks. The accessories like the pizza oven and rotisserie just add to the versatility. Almost all my cooking is done outside and this is truly the center piece to the experience.

Couldn’t Be Happier With This Grill & Smoker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t usually write reviews, but the Masterbuilt 1050 Gravity Series deserves one. This grill has completely changed the way I cook outdoors. The flavor is unbelievable — real charcoal taste with the kind of heat control you’d expect from a high-end pellet or gas grill.
What sold me was the convenience. I load the hopper once and I’m good for hours. It heats up fast and holds temp perfectly, whether I’m smoking ribs low and slow or searing steaks at high heat. I’ve cooked everything from brisket to chicken wings to burgers, and every meal has turned out amazing.
The app control is a game changer. I can start cooking, step inside, and still monitor and adjust temps right from my phone. It’s made long cooks so much easier and stress-free.
Build quality is solid, plenty of cooking space, and cleanup is way easier than I expected for a charcoal setup. For anyone who loves charcoal flavor but wants modern convenience, this grill is the best of both worlds.
This is hands down one of the best purchases I’ve made for my backyard.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Still Smoking Strong After All These Ye
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my Masterbuilt 1050 for several years now—honestly, I’ve lost count! I got it right around the time it was first introduced as a birthday gift from my wife (after dropping a few well-placed hints 😊).
This smoker has held up amazingly well over the years, and I love it just as much today as the day I got it. I’ve cooked everything from turkeys and briskets to ribs and pizzas—just about anything you can think of—and it’s never let me down.
The only downside? My wife has pretty much stopped cooking because I enjoy using the 1050 so much! But I don’t mind one bit—the app makes it so easy to use, and the results are always fantastic.
If you’re thinking about getting a smoker, I can’t recommend the Masterbuilt Gravity Series enough. It gives you the ease and control of a pellet smoker with that unbeatable smoky flavor of an offset. It’s truly the best of both worlds!

The Masterbuilt 1050 gravity series are great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my gravity 1050 about 2 years ago and it is the best thing I have ever bought. I bought a pitboss 1150 2 days before I bought the Masterbuilt and I knew when I bought The Masterbuilt that I was keeping it for sure over the pitboss. I threw the pitboss in the trash because it sucked compared to the masterbuilt. I cook and smoke everything on it. It has such a better flavor than a pellet smoke and it is so easy to use. I have easily over 100 cooks and probably 30 over night smokes on this machine. I am definitely recommending Masterbuilt to friends and family. I would love to upgrade to a new 1150 sometime.

Oustanding grill and smoker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050 is a versatile charcoal grill and smoker that combines traditional smoking techniques with modern technology. The grill maintains a steady temperature with minimal fluctuations (around 10°F), making it suitable for both low-and-slow smoking and high-temperature grilling.
It can smoke, grill, sear, and bake; the Masterbuilt 1050 excels across various cooking methods. It can reach up to 700°F in just 15 minutes, making it effective for quick grilling sessions.
Initial assembly might take time, but once set up, the grill is user-friendly. The digital panel simplifies adjustments, though some users have reported occasional issues with app connectivity; I have none.
The Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050 is an excellent option for serious outdoor cooks. Its blend of traditional charcoal flavor with modern convenience makes it a standout choice among smokers. If you value versatility and ease of use, this grill is worth considering, despite some minor flaws.

Best Smoker/Grill EVER
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this smoker because I was looking/ shopping around for a good smoker. I saw one from this friend and I just fell in love with it. It was like love at first sight. I'm so grateful I was able to buy this product because it has made my cooking a lot easier and my food is coming out wonderful.

Best Grill I EVER owned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Masterbuilt 1050 a few years ago and although I have had to replace several parts and it has caught on fire twice. It is still the best grill I ever owned. Eventually I will put out the money for the newest one but until then I continue to use my 1050 to the fullest. For a reference, My only feedback is that when the controller goes, make sure to order a new one from Masterbuilt only, as both times I had issue, it was due to the digital board failing somewhere. This in turn caused damage to other parts.

It’s the best grill I have ever owned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I looked at a lot of grill over a year ago, price was not a issue but finding a grill that I could use several times without having to burn up a lot of charcoal was a issue until li found Masterbuilt . It depends on what I am doing ,using the big bag of charcoal I can get at least 4 cooking’s out of 1 bag. Call me old school but these pellet grills in my opinion just makes the taste of the food to strong in flavor compared to charcoal whether it be hickory applewood pecan . That is one main reason I got the gravity 1050 grill.if you are a weekend griller you need to try one of the gravity series grills

MasterBuilt 1050 -The Powerhouse of Smoke
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned both the Masterbuilt Gravity 1050 and 560, and let me tell you — these smokers redefine what it means to “set it and forget it.” The 560 hooked me. The 1050 sealed the deal. Together, they’ve transformed every cookout into a full-blown smoke show.
These machines aren’t just convenient — they’re commanding. The gravity-fed charcoal system locks in that deep, rich flavor purists chase for years, but with precision temp control that puts pellet grills to shame. Whether it’s ribs slow-cooked to perfection or reverse-seared steaks with that perfect crust, the results are flawless — every single time.
Cleanup? Simple. Heat-up? Lightning fast. Control? Effortless — especially with the app. What I love most is that they bring old-school charcoal soul into a modern world that’s lost its patience for fire management.
If you want the smoke, the sear, and the soul — this is it. The Masterbuilt Gravity Series isn’t just a smoker. It’s a statement.

Great grill and amoker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the model now for two years and all I can say is wow. It works fantastic. It is easy to clean and easy to start up and be ready to either grill or smoke in less than 20 minutes. Plus with the ability to block off the firebox you save charcoal from cook to cook using only what is needed. Plus being able to add wood chucks to hopper makes for fabulous smoked meats.
I have done continuous low and slow smokes for 16 hours on a single load of charcoal. See some samples as shown in included photos

Gravity Series stands at the summit with charcoal!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Charcoal inherently lacks the ability to efficiently regulate and maintain temperature. The gravity series gives you the control of a pellet or gas smoker, but with the irreplaceable taste that comes only with charcoal. There simply is no contender in this arena.

Next Level Grilling and Smoking
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the 1050 now for about 3 months and it has upped my grilling and smoking game considererably. It's so easy to use by setting the desired tepature and not having to deal with fire control. I also love the thermamoter probes that connect with the app! Just set the desired internal temp and the grill alerts you when it's reached the target tempature. My family thinks I'm a master griller and smoker now but the only thing that has change is owning the Gravity 1050. Can't say enough about how much I love the results of the food and using it!

Game Changer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my Webber kettle grill and an offset smoker for years. The problem is that they need constant monitoring to maintain your temperature properly. With family and responsibilities around the house, I just cannot sit around and watch my grill/smoker all day.
Then came the vertical digital charcoal grill from Masterbuilt! Now I can put my meat in the smoker/grill with the temperature probes and walk away for hours! This was a game changer for me! I can go mow the lawn, go shopping, play a round of golf and not worry about my meal since I can monitor it remotely! To give you an idea of how much I use it, I go through 40+ bags of charcoal and wood chunks a year, without a hiccup! I have told all my grilling/smoking friends at work and several have purchased various sizes of the Digital charcoal grill with great success. You will not be disappointed with this!

“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 shine is the GravityFed charcoal hopper. It holds a full load of charcoal that slowly feeds down as it burns, meaning I can smoke for hours without touching a thing. The first time I used it, I loaded it up, set the temperature, and walked away — the temperature stayed rock-solid the entire cook. The built-in DigitalFan keeps the heat perfectly steady, and the digital controls make it simple to dial in exactly what I want.
The flavor this smoker produces is unbeatable. I’ve used pellet grills before, and while they’re convenient, they just can’t compete with the rich, deep smoke flavor that comes from real charcoal. Every rack of ribs I’ve done comes out with a perfect bark, juicy inside, and that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. My friends actually joke now that I’ve ruined restaurant BBQ for them because nothing compares to what comes off this grill.
Setup was straightforward — it’s a big unit, but the build quality is solid. It heats up incredibly fast too; I can go from zero to smoking in minutes, or crank it up to 700°F if I want to sear steaks. The WiFi and Bluetooth control through the Masterbuilt app is a nice bonus — I can monitor temps and timers right from my phone, which is a lifesaver when I’m hosting.
Maintenance is easy as well. Ash cleanup is quick, and I like how the grease tray design keeps things neat. I’ve added a grill cover to protect it from the weather, and it still looks brand new months later.
If you’re into smoking ribs, this thing is an absolute beast. The smoke ring is always perfect, and the combination of ease, consistency, and flavor is just unbeatable. It gives that real BBQ pitmaster experience without all the babysitting.
I’ve tried pellet smokers, kamados, and offsets — and none of them hit that sweet spot like the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1150. It’s powerful, reliable, and produces world-class results every single time. I couldn’t recommend it more.

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 and makes my traditional gas barbecue food seem very ordinary. Has held up well thus far and I have been using it regularly for about a year now. Cleanup of the ash is also easy and neat. All around great product that has made my traditional gas grill somewhat obsolete

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 monitoring makes it simple to check in occasionally from an app on your phone while you’re doing something else. The capacity of the 1050 is extraordinary making it possible to smoke or grill a lot of stuff at the same time, and the outcome is always delicious! Thanks for a great product, Masterbuilt.

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 can be controlled on the grill or on an app using your phone. If you've been looking for true wood fire cooking with the ease of a grill this is your answer.
