Frequently asked questions

The Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 features a digital control system that allows you to set and modify the cooking temperature and time with precision. It digitally controls the rate at which the charcoal burns to achieve and maintain the desired temperature. You can adjust the settings based on the type of food you're cooking or your personal cooking preference.

The Gravity Series 800 functions as a griddle, grill, and smoker. As a griddle, it provides a flat surface for even cooking, perfect for pancakes or eggs. As a grill, it can sear meats at high temperatures for a short period of time to achieve a great flavor. The smoker feature lets you slow-cook food at a lower temperature to infuse it with smoky flavors.

Despite its digital features, the Masterbuilt 800 Grill uses charcoal as its fuel source. This allows the grill to reach a wide range of temperatures—from smoking low and slow to searing hot—while maintaining that authentic smoky flavor associated with traditional grilling.

Yes, the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 comes with a Bluetooth compatibility feature, which allows you to control the grill remotely from your smart device using the Masterbuilt app. This feature lets you adjust the temperature, monitor cooking time, and even power on or off the grill from a distance.

  • Amazing
Style: Gravity Series 1050
I've been cooking with a Weber religiously for about 2 years now. The weber master touch kettle style is what introduced me to charcoal grilling. I cooked on it nearly every weekend for the 2 years I had it, rain or shine or snow it didn't matter. The flavor charcoal provides is incomparable. Looking back, fanning the flames with cardboard...buying a manual blower and wrecking it soon after and then upgrading to a DeWalt leaf blower. My neighbors would often wonder why I was using a leaf blower when it was snowing and cold outside. Little did they know...charcoal isn't an easy method of grilling. Smoking on that little Weber was an adventure everytime. While the weber boasted the ability to smoke and provide indirect heat as well as direct heat it just wasn't truly up to par with someone like me who was grilling every week despite the weather. I ended up warping that little weber because of the heavy usage. I sure did get my mileage out of it. But this review isn't about the weber, it's about this wonderful, amazing piece of technology that allows you to cheat! I had often heard that pellet grilling was like charcoal grilling but cheating. This charcoal grill is like grilling with charcoal but cheating with charcoal. It's so easy it's disgusting. I went a long time, many grills doing all this effort while this grill does everything EFFORTLESSLY. Key phrase is EFFORTLESSLY. Fire and forget isn't a more applicable term! I admit the assembly process is grueling. I admit I hate starting the flame in this grill compared to my weber but that is and was a SMALL price to pay. I just smoked a 16 lb brisket to absolute perfection over 22 hours. I did none of the work. The grill did everything. I was a little hesitant to allow the grill to work over the course of one night but when I woke up the next morning the thing still had fire and still had, albeit, a small amount of charcoal left...to think this charcoal grill went 8 hours without maintenance...it truly is disgusting for those of you charcoal purists who have worked painstakingly to maintain your heat, your supply and the placement of your flames. This grill is just profound. It's so hard to describe how amazing it truly is unless you've slaved, smoking with something like a weber. Smoking is such a fine art that requires such specific detail to temperature and truly only works well when done indirectly. This grill is such a marvel of engineering it not only burns indirectly but the manifold allows for SEARING. My god. It's unbelievable. If you're on the fence with the price tag but are a charcoal purist like me who is just tired of not getting that perfect smoke...this is a no brainer. If it lasts only a year, if it only lasts 6 months....I'd buy it again. I love this thing! Edit: been a year now and have grilled more on this in the first few months than I did in 2 years with my Weber in terms of hourly usage easy. The longest I ever used this grill was 26 HOURS. That was a good brisket. I've smoked a turkey for Thanksgiving and made 6 briskets on this thing. I've cooked pork butt and pulled it. I've made brisket and pulled that! I've made newyorks, t-bones, tomahawks, salmon, whole tilapia...this grill is beyond words. However! I've had some failures. It's sad but nothing lasts forever. My fan had failed but this is after 100's of hours if not 1,000. Also my proximity switch for the lid melted so I shorted the wires together and kept grilling. Still the best charcoal griller out there! Edit 09/2023 Wow have had this grill for 3 years and have easily spent more than 1k hours cooking on it. Definitely the best charcoal grill I could have asked for! When I talk to other grillmasters most use pellets but pellets does not infuse the taste of charcoal. Literally just made a 20 lb brisket over 24 hours on 9/16/23 and is easily my best. Fire and forget once you get this thing lit. Keep it fed and you don't have a thing to worry about. Used this thing nearly every weekend for the last three years and it keeps going! Only thing I have had to replace is the fan which I'm on my third and have a replacement just in case! Turkeys, Briskets, Pork Shoulders....plenty of space for accompaniments like corn, potatoes or anything you can imagine. I can't talk this grill up enough! If you struggle it's a skill issue and not the grill! ... show more

  • It's a smoker, agrill, and comes with a GRIDDLE!!
Style: Gravity Series 800
I've had my Masterbuilt 800 for 6 weeks now. The gravity feed charcoal is a game changing design for me. You can layer the charcoal box with charcoal or charcoal wood, then wood pieces for smoking, then charcoal, etc. And the ash bucket is at the bottom and makes clean-up a snap. Assembly wasn't too bad. It may take you longer than you plan on so give yourself plenty of time. After assembly, be sure to season the grill correctly. Check out the videos on youtube for assistance. There is tons of information available. I know, because I think I watched them all. LOL I did make the most perfect smoked ribs I ever had. Along with grond beef jerkey, chicken, pork chops, wings, and fish. You can literally smoke something for a couple of hours, then turn up the grill to 700 degrees for finalizing cooking or searing if necessary. In about 7 minutes it will be up to temp from 250 degrees. No matter what temperature you set its pretty even and doesn't divate much at all. However be aware, like any other grills, there are your hot and cool spots inside. The griddle is a nice touch. The cooking manifold swtches out in about 30 seconds, and the griddle is HEAVY and a perfect surface to cook on and attaches easily. You shoud by some griddlle accessories for cooking on it however. I made smash burgers and they came out good and smelled up the neighborhood.. "cheezee bugar cheezee bugar, Pepsi, no Coke... I think it was the grilled onions. The control panel works well, but for some reason, somewhere between the time you turn it on and about 5 to 10 miutes later, the blower turns off and you have to repower the panel by turning it on and off. It works fine after that, but it has happenned 3 times already. Just be sure to monitor it at first until you get used to using it. I did download the app for operating the temp and timer from my phone. That worked well at first, but it is bluetooth, so if you walk away to far with your phone in your pocket you may loose connection and the fan will turn off. I generally don't use the app since I like to be outside with a beer and cigar when I'm queing. If your "on the fence" about buying one... don't be. You won't be sorry. I had a Trager pellet grill I bought 7 years ago. It was ok, but never really got the smoke taste I was missing like using the Masterbuilt. Plus, you cant sear with it, and it doesn't come with a GRIDDLE. Lastly, if you made it this far, search Masterbuilt mods. They're aftermarket accessories specifically for the grill. I bought the whole shebang before I put it together and am glad I did. If you have extra money do your research and get that also. Hope this helps. Happy grilling. ... show more
