Masterbuilt Fire Starters - 48 Pack

Bought these to help ignite charcoal in my Gravity Series 1050, works great. 1 block gets the flame ignited.

I have had multiple smokers and this is by far the best one I have ever had

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.

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!

I've been using my grill for everything all summer long. Great for low and slow to high heat cooking. Everything works great with a couple of exceptions. After a handful of uses the power button on the control panel cracked. I would have hoped to see something more durable for outside use. I don't know if it is related, but the temperature probes read inaccurate temps and are unusable. I use an instant read thermometer anyway, but this is disappointing.

I have use tumble weeds, oil soaked paper towels and off brands of fire starters for my masturbuilt digital vertical charcoal griller and hands down this works better than anything else!

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 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.

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

I've had my Gravity Series 1050 for over 5 years now, and it has been a great investment. From grilling to smoking, this grill has done it all! I love the design of the gravity feed as opposed to an auger style with pellets. The fact that I can use lump charcoal and add a variety of wood chunks for smoking is a definite plus. I do believe this model was one of the first ones as there have been some improvements on more recent ones. I would give this a five star rating if it wasn't for a few issues that I have encountered such as some switches sticking or not working, the temperature control being inaccurate, and most recently, my control panel starting to flicker and the display fading meaning it's about to quit on me. Other than that, this grill has been wonderful to own, and I'll definitely consider upgrading it to the next model when the time comes.
