Key Features
- Includes a flat top griddle insert and cast-iron grates for low and slow smoking or high heat searing
- DigitalFan for precise temperature control
- GravityFed Charcoal Hopper holds 16 lbs of briquettes or 10 lbs of lump charcoal for up to 10 hours of fuel
- Convenient fold out storage behind side shelf to prevent loss or damage to the power supply
In just 10 minutes, it can reach smoking temperatures as low as 225 F, or climb to 700 F in only a few minutes more for a perfect steak sear. The vertical charcoal hopper holds up to 10 lbs of lump charcoal or 16 lbs of briquettes, providing up to 8 hours of consistent cooking time. As gravity pushes fresh charcoal toward the fire, spent ash drops into the bin below for easy cleanup. For shorter cooks, simply insert the included slides to cut off airflow, extinguish the fire, and save your unused charcoal for next time. Enhance flavor by adding wood chunks either to the charcoal hopper or the ash bin to generate rich, smoky notes. Heat and smoke flow evenly through a precision-engineered manifold with graduated ports, ensuring consistent results across the entire cooking chamber. The main cooking area features cast iron grates and an optional flat-top griddle insert, giving you plenty of space and versatile cooking options for entertaining any party.

I love this grill for the consistent heat control as well as the remote control. I have used it to smoke ribs, brisket as well as to cook steak and chicken. the only thing that I did not realize is you have to clean and maintain this grill or heat manifold thing rusts. I have had to replace it after a little more than a year. I just did not pay attention to it until it was too late. If you take care of your grill, it works great.
Have owned this grill for 6 years. Takles anything from seafood to pizza. Only two issues that didn't allow me to give it 5-stars. One. The hopper and specifically the burn area has rusted/disintegrated but still usable and Two, the apps are very finicky and rarely work.
After three uses with temp set at 225 and 250, the inner wall of the firebox is very warped. The entire lower wall is bulging. Emailed Masterbuilt and got no response. Uses massive amounts of charcoal.
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.

I use it for cooking breakfast. Eggs and who doesn't like bacon.
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.
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!
I bought this grill 2 months ago after trying a pellet grill for a bit. So glad to be back using charcoal. Great product. Easy to light and clean.
I bouht my 1050 6 year go great smoker & grill. rebuilting fire box put in a stainless steel box. Over all a great smoker.

Do not order anything from these guys. I waited months and never received my grill. Although they did eventually respond to my emails and voicemail it was slow. Thank goodness my CC company reversed the charge and I received a refund, all I wanted was my grill. Look up there address on Google Maps. They direct ship from manufacture (at least that's what they said about my Masterbuilt) so it's probably some dude sitting at home. Anyways you've been warned!!!

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
