Masterbuilt Pizza Oven Insert for Gravity Series 800 & 1050 Models - MB20181722

Picked this up about a month ago and am generally pleased with it after 4-5 cooks. There are some flaws with the design, but this is a first version and should be expected. It runs through charcoal way faster than my Akorn did and is very susceptible to wind being that the sheet metal is so thin. The ability to manage over WiFi/Bluetooth is nice, but they could be great if they worked a little more and built the integration with AppleWatch. Finally the 1yr warranty makes you feel that they aren't very confident it the build quality. My recommendation would be to buy this is you like to try the new toys, stay on the bleeding edge and don't mind if this investment fails after a year.

So far it works as intended, I do think it runs thru coals a bit quicker than a regular grill. But it heats up amazingly and keeps Temps where they should be. The new charcoal grate is amazing. But where you put the ignition source IE the tumble weed could be a bit bigger. But overall an amazing product.

Purchased the grill one month ago, have cooked sausage, steaks, burgers, chicken and brisket on it so far. What a wonderful flavor the lump charcoal adds to everything. Love that I can seer steaks at 700deg and be done in about 30mins (depending upon thickness) from lighting the grill to pulling off the steaks. Haven't been much of a slow cooker, but enjoy the ability to set the temp and walk away without having to monitor or I can use the temperature probe to reach a desired temp. I researched grills for over 3 months and if it wasn't for the Gravity Series I would have purchased another gas grill because I grill more than slow cook or smoke/BBQ. Ready for the next cook! I am enjoying this grill immensely!

Hot hot searing plus low and slow temps using charcoal and wood and without tedious monitoring. Hits all the right notes.

I have really enjoyed using this Masterbuilt 1050, it covers a large range of grilling temperatures and keeps a pretty steady temperature. The only parts that I would be needing correction on would be the following. First the door open sensor on the main part of the grill continues to sparatically not work correctly and have had to replace it once. The other is the Bluetooth looses connectivity consistently to my phone app and the wifi. Other than those it has worked like a charm and brag about what I can do with it to everyone I talked to.

I've had this grill/smoker for about 6 months now and it's amazing. I've tried quoted a few different recipes and the heat consistency is always right on point. It's really efficient with the charcoal usage and is very easy to operate.

My electric MES30 finally gave up after a good 4-year run. I knew the part that needed to be replaced was not expense, but I also felt it was time for a change. I was always intimidated cooking with charcoal, as I didn't want to baby-sit the process, and the learning curve was something I just didn't want to get into. Welcome the Gravity Series! As soon as I read about, saw videos about, and researched the Gravity Series, I was sold. On my very first cook, I did reverse seared rib eyes, and I was FLOORED. The versatility of this unit is really amazing, and I finally had that charcoal flavor I would have at "other people's home" that I was always lacking in my own cooks. Since that first cook, I am using my GS560 about twice a week, whereas with my previous MES30, I would smoke about twice a month. It's just pure enjoyment using this smoker and the ease of achieving charcoal flavor with minimal effort. Searing is truly amazing on this unit. I have read online issues with "this or that" about the Gravity Series, and I can only say I have had zero issues with my GS560. My WiFi connection is strong, and I use the App on every cook with no signal loss. It's just an amazing product that has made our dinner and family gatherings extra special with our food servings. Love it....

I've owned this grill for about 6 months now. My Grill door sensor has already been faulty so I ordered a new one and it worked but as soon that was replaced the fan in the unit will not turn on. Not sure what's happening so I have not been able to use the grill since.

This grill is easy to use and makes great food! It's like a pellet grill but better since it uses lump charcoal and you can add wood to it. I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone!

After several months of reviewing different grills I stumbled upon the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560. It had all the features I was looking for in a grill. I bought it a year ago and it changed the way I grill. I used to just light up the gas grill, throw on the meat, and most often be disappointed with the results. The 560 changed all that. I'm now grilling, smoking, searing and, most important, enjoy cooking outside. This past Thanksgiving I smoked the turkey. Never in 35 years would my wife let me do that. I'm now always looking new recipes. The 560 changed me and I love it. I recently recommended the 560 to a friend and he too is loving it. You can't go wrong with this grill.
