Key Features

Gravity Series combines the flavor & versatility of charcoal with the convenience of pellet grills
  • Cook from anywhere over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi using the Masterbuilt App
  • GravityFed hopper ensures that fresh charcoal feeds the fire and ash drops into the bin below
  • Hopper holds 10 lbs lump charocoal or 16 lbs charcoal briquettes for 8 hours of cooking time
  • Reach 225 degrees in just 10 minutes for smoking or 700 degrees in just 15 minutes for searing
The Masterbuilt Gravity Series is revolutionizing charcoal grilling. This digital charcoal grill + smoker takes the flavor and versatility of cooking with charcoal and pairs it with the convenience of a pellet grill. Using gravity to continuously feed fuel to the fire, variable speed DigitalFan technology stokes the flame to the precise temperature you set on the easy to use PID controller - or your smart phone. Within 10 minutes you can reach low and slow smoking temperatures of 225 degrees, or let it heat up to 700 degrees in a few minutes more for a perfectly seared steak. The vertical charcoal hopper can hold 10 lbs of lump charcoal or 16 lbs of charcoal briquettes, providing up to 8 hours of cooking time. Gravity ensures fresh charcoal is always pushed towards the fire and spent ash drops into the bin below. For shorter cooks, save the rest of that charcoal for next time by using the included slides that cut off airflow and snuff out the fire. Mix in some wood chunks, either in the charcoal hopper or the smoldering ash bin, to add flavorful smoke to your cook. Heat and smoke are sent into the cooking chamber via the carefully designed manifold, which features graduated ports that allow heat to spread evenly throughout the body. The main cooking surface consists of double sided cast iron cooking grates, with a wide side perfect for searing and a narrow side which permits more smoke to reach your food. Above are two porcelain coated FoldAway warming racks perfect for indirect cooking, which can be folded out of the way for extra space on the main cooking surface. These combine for a total of 1050 square inches of cooking space for whatever you can think of. Smoke in the chamber circulates and then exits through the rear vent, ensuring that it envelops your food no matter which level it sits on. The innovation does not stop there, however, as you have the ability to control your grill + smoker using the Masterbuilt App on your smart phone. Simply pair your device to the grill and then set a temperature, set a timer, and receive notifications when your cook is done - all over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This grill comes with a meat probe, and has ports for 3 more, all which can be monitored wirelessly. For added prep space, this grill comes equipped with a stainless steel folding front shelf. The side shelf features tool hooks and a small drawer for storing the power supply, and a full length bottom shelf provides extra storage. Four wheels, including two locking casters, are included for portability. With the ability to smoke, sear, bake, and roast effortlessly, the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker lets you master the art of charcoal grilling.

Avoid Masterbuilt

My Masterbuilt 1050 died after 12 cooks, less than 2 months. Good luck getting any service with their 12-months warranty. It's been over a month and I still don't have a working grill. Complete waster of money and lots of frustration. Avoid.

Hot Spot

I purchased the Masterbuilt 1050, and it arrived in one piece and was easy to assemble. Unfortunately, my experience went downhill during the initial burn-off process. I set the grill to the recommended burn-off temperature of 200°F, but the actual temperature climbed far beyond that. I was watching it closely, and if I hadn't been, it could have continued overheating. The controller still displayed 200°F, but the built-in temperature gauge was much higher. To verify, I placed a separate temperature probe inside the grill, and it read over 400°F. I contacted Masterbuilt customer support and opened a warranty ticket. Their response was that it was "just a hot spot." I have a hard time accepting that explanation. A 200-degree difference doesn't seem like a normal hot spot. I also tested the grill's temperature probe in several different ways, and it never showed the higher temperatures that my independent probe was reading. At this point, I'm not sure whether the temperature probe, controller, or something else is defective. Since the grill is still under warranty, I don't think I should have to purchase a new probe just to diagnose a problem that should be covered. I'm hoping Masterbuilt stands behind its product and resolves this issue. The grill seems well built and was easy to put together, but accurate temperature control is one of its most important features. Until this issue is resolved, I can't recommend it with confidence.

I will never own...

I will never own another Masterbuilt product. The digital board failed me on the 4th of July! Wow. Of all times. Thanks Masterbuilt. I'll just go buy a better product so it won't happen again.

Nice griddle but doesn't fit the 1150

While advertised for the 1150, the braces don't fit over the heat box in the bottom near the hopper. It must be a bigger housing, because I have to bend the crap out of it to make it fit. It will certainly break after a few times, hoping someone at Masterbuilt sees this and has a fix.

Not good for slow smoking

Just beware - if you are planning to use this to smoke meats, you cannot set the temp below 250 degrees on this. Kind of makes low and slow out of the question

BE AWARE IT HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE!

Watch the videos on YouTube. It still does the same thing it's been doing. When it heats up the motor stalls because the fixture the spit rod goes into expands, seizes up and doesn't spin or it will completely unscrew itself. I would have thought they would have fixed this issue after 5+ years but nope!

Worst grill cover ever.

I have had this grill cover for only 2 years and it has dried out, faded really bad and torn in multiple locations. It's appears to me the wrong material has been chosen for this application. Worst grill cover I ever bought.

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.
