Overview
Not a pellet grill, the Masterbuilt Gravity Series burns real charcoal from a tall hopper while a digital fan holds the temperature you set. Gravity feeds fresh coals down as the fire burns, and the app or control panel sets the target.
Charcoal flavor with set and walk away control is the case for it, and it reaches searing heat quickly. Cooking space is large enough for big gatherings. A one year warranty is thin coverage for a large grill.
Who it's for
Backyard cooks who want charcoal taste without tending vents, and hosts feeding large groups. People wanting a small or portable grill should look at a tabletop model.
Pros and cons
- Charcoal flavor with digital control
- Fast heat up
- Long burn per hopper load
- App monitoring and shutdown
- Fan power needs not stated
- Short warranty coverage
- Very large footprint
Performance notes
The fan controls airflow into the charcoal, and that airflow sets temperature, so changes happen in minutes. Gravity carries fuel down to the fire without stirring. Lump and briquettes burn differently, which changes how long a load lasts.
