Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 Digital Charcoal Griddle + Grill + Smoker - MB20040221

For the past 4 years I have been grilling on the Green Egg, and I loved that great charcoal taste that came with it. When I recently sold my home, the Green Egg went with it, but I was already on the hunt for a great electric smoker. When I found the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800, I had no doubt this was the answer to replacing my Egg. Probes, temperature control, built in timer, mobile app, griddle, space for my grilling tools, and best of all - it has that GREAT charcoal taste that i love! This Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 is a must have and a 10/10 recommend! Its crazy good!

I use these with my AutoIgnite 545, but unfortunately they only light on the first try about half the time. I've found that blowing on the starter after about 30 seconds seems to work well, but that defeats the purpose of the "AutoIgnite" moniker.

I've made many delicious meals on this smoker and it works great. I'm amazed at how easy it keeps my desired temp. I do think the app is a little lacking, unfortunately. If I want to change the temp through the app I often have to do it twice before it takes. And temperature updates don't update quite as often as I would prefer.

If Rambo retired and took up smoking meats, the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050 would be his weapon of choice. This beast doesn't just smoke, it strategically dominates flavor like it's leading a recon mission against bland brisket. 🛠️ Built Like a Barracks, Smokes Like a Dream • With 1050 square inches of cooking space, it's basically the aircraft carrier of smokers. You could feed a platoon—or just impress your in-laws. • The gravity-fed charcoal system is pure genius. Load it once, and it burns with the discipline of a drill sergeant: steady, reliable, and no-nonsense. • Digital controls? Check. WiFi and Bluetooth? Roger that. You can command this smoker from your phone like you're calling in an airstrike of hickory smoke. 🍖 Performance That Deserves a Salute • It hits 700°F like it's chasing down a target. Searing steaks? Done. Low-and-slow ribs? Roger. • Temperature recovery is faster than a motivated private after PT. Open the lid, close it, and boom—back in the zone. • The smoke flavor? Deep, rich, and layered like a well-planned ambush. It doesn't just cook—it infuses. 🧠 Jeremiah's Tactical Take As a veteran with 21½ years of service and a mind wired for diagnostics and precision, I can say this smoker passes every test.

Everything about this grill is amazing, the charcoal gives it an amazing taste the fact that it's three products in one saves me so much space and the electric thermometer makes it so easy to repeat amazing results, it feels like cheating. I've had this product since 2020 and will never have another style grill/smoker/griddle.

I have 2 the 560 and 1050 Both are excellent and easy to work with the most best part is using charcoal

This is an amazing grill /smoker for anyone that doesnt need a big cooking area. All of the taste and smoke from a stick burner, but has all the convenience of a pellet smoker. The only thing I would change is the ash catcher is very small and fills up quick. Masterbuilt should at least offer a larger ash collector.

I had a pellet grill that I bought for the convenience of automatic feed. After a while I missed the flavor you get with a charcoal grill. So I thought I could get both with a gravity feed, but was concerned on the ability of it to feed charcoal without jamming or other problems. The unit was easy to put together and instructions were of sufficient detail. Then came the moment of truth. The first cook. Somewhat to my surprise it went well. I t was a 6 hour cook and had no problems. The charcoal was fed as needed and the desired temperature remained consistent throughout the cook. The rate of charcoal use was not excessive. I'll admit at first I was skeptical, but I have to admit that it gave me the ease and convenience of a pellet grill combined with the flavor of charcoal smoking. (and where I live, charcoal is cheaper than pellets.) "Exchanging" my pellet grill for this Gravity series was one of the better decisions I have made.

Worked great the first time but stopped turning consistently after. I contacted customer service but they never contacted me back.

I was so excited to utilize the gravity fed smoker, but I have had constant struggles with the smoker and fan starting. Had to go through reddit conversations to find out how to remedy. Its still been a battle though. I've changed the fan, wires and sensors. The rotisserie also worked great the first time but would stop turning after. I contacted customer service and never heard back from them. Hope I just got a lemon and its not how the rest of their products are.
