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

Yes, it took forever to assemble. Yes, it is a bit of a fuel hog. However, finally being able to get charcoal + wood smoke flavor in a set-it and forget it product is perfect for those of us that don't have the time to manage stick-burners but want better flavor than electric only (which I also own).

This is the best grill you can buy. It does anything you want. No need to have multiple grills, you can smoke, grill, bake, or even use the rotisserie!

I waited almost a year to get the rotisserie kit for the 560 gravity model. It came with two different length spits; the shorter one fit the 560. I installed it in a matter of 10 minutes with none of the usual "speed bumps" that tend to plague my installations. I used it to smoke a turkey breast for Thanksgiving and it worked great. During the smoking, I did learn that I had overtightened the motor to the smoker frame, causing it to squeak a little bit. A quick couple of turns to loosen it did the trick and it's been good since.

These are just the right size, I used them in a Masterbuilt 560. Easy to lite and had the charcoal going within minutes..with others fire starters it would take 4-5 minutes to get the charcoal going.

I saw these grills online and was really excited to try them out, so I ordered the Masterbuilt 800. It arrived well packaged and in good condition. Assembly of the grill takes time, but instructions are easy to understand and build quality seem good. My first cook went well, everything functioned properly. My second cook worked well for approximately 10 minutes and then the fan stopped working. I did some trouble shooting to make sure there were no loose wires, but everything seemed connected properly. I reached out to Masterbuilt for some assistance and was only able to email customer service. They responded quickly to my inquire, but they didn't seem interested in diagnosing my actual problem, and said they would mail out a replacement fan kit. Finally 24 days later I received the fan, installed it, fired the grill up, and the fan stopped again after 10 minutes. The grill is a fantastic idea, but customer service could be a lot better. I will be returning my grill and not sure if I will be purchasing another.

Bought on a whim...now in my top 5 purchases of all time. Convenient to use, flexible smoking and grilling options. For the smoking aficionado, this is a must have.

I've had this grill for about 6 months and have been cooking on it once a week. I love the design ans ease of use. Especially the temperature control is extremely accurate and reliable. The things that need improvement are the WIFI connectivity and the coating inside the hopper pealing off.

I purchased my 1050 in July and it is hands down the best grill I have ever bought. I feel like I can grill, smoke or bbq anything. The grill is very easy to use and with the use of thermometers to verify temperatures, it is almost impossible not to have meats that are tender and tasty, cooked to perfection.

i have now owned the 560 since march (it is now december) and have many many cooks under the lid of this beast! i love the control of being able to pretty much set it and walk away. has really upped my smoking, bbq, and grilling game for sure! a few things i dont like about it though....first and foremost 1..THE APP... was so excited to be able to do other things around the house and monitor my cook, but this app is ... mediocre at best. disconnects, wont run in background, and will shut of grill in mid cook!! have stopped using the app and not had any problems. if the app was better, would def give it 5 stars. 2 parts that need to be upgraded. A. the PLASTIC fan switches on the doors get sticky, and wont let fan turn on when it needs to... so need to spray them with food grade silicon to keep them working, many i have talked to have bypassed the switches, i have not as of yet. B. the charcoal grate in the hopper spacing is to big for briquettes and large unburnt charcoal will even fall through, have seen many mods for this, both cheap and easy, and expensive and a little more work, that seemed to work but again, havent done any mods to this so cant verify myself. C. the manifold. a simple lip on the sides of the manifold to channel drippings away from the inside of the manifold could very easily decrease the amount of grease fires that are known to happen with this. even with lots of cleaning, i have had a number of "small" fires when bringing temp up to do a reverse sear, as the drippings drop inside of the manifold instead of into the grease tray. but all in all, these complaints are minimal, i LOVE my grill and wish i had gotten the bigger one, but, can still fit a full packer brisket on this with no issue at all. and the grill cover is amazing! very happy with the quality of it!
