The Masterbuilt Portable Charcoal Grill provides the unmatched flavour of charcoal with the ease of a gas grill on the go. These baffle plates mean that you’ll be able to reuse the charcoal in your hopper for your next cook. Even the briquettes or lump that were lit at the time you shut off the supply of oxygen will cook down and be ready to use the next time you’re ready to fire it up. Cleaning: Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as pulling the rubber seal and sliding it around the door frame. Cooking on the Gravity 560

I have to remember that I have the 1050 model, though, the largest one available and that the 800 and 560 models are simply bound to be far more fuel-efficient due to their smaller size. For low and slow smoking, fuel consumption is ‘not bad.’ With a hopper full of medium to large chunks of lumpwood charcoal (perhaps 10 lbs?) I achieve about 9 hours of smoking. This is way under what can be achieved with a Weber Smoky Mountain, or a Kamado Joe Big Joe. It also means refilling the hopper partway through long cooks of butts or briskets. Make sure the air intake slides have been removed (as previously discussed, this is the number one mistake people make!) This is annoying if you want to do a reverse sear where you will initially aim for say 110°F, and then you want to increase the heat and aim for 135°F. Yes, it sure will. Its digital fan that forces the air draft will always give you a clean fire, and we absolutely recommend you add wood chips or chunks to your fuel, experiment with different flavours. You can even place a long hardwood split log, often used for open fires or offset smokers, into the charcoal chamber, then surround it with charcoal; this will give you a long clean smoke.So you can slowly smoke roast your meat, take it off to rest for 10 for 15 minutes, and the grill will be at a screaming hot temp just waiting for you to finish your beautiful sear. Fuel Consumption Simply fill with charcoal, light, set the required temperature on the control panel and cook, it's really that easy! It’s hard to think of a way that this gravity charcoal grill smoker could be easier to use. To set the temperature, just dial in the temp that you want on the digital temperature control and wait between 7-13 minutes. It takes 7 minutes to get to a consistent 225° and 13 minutes to achieve a roaring 700°. Side Shelf:

Masterbuilt is a family company that began with a trade between acquaintances: a lawnmower for a custom-made fish cooker. Apparently, the fish cooker worked like a charm. In 1974, founder Dawson McLemore made the easy decision to switch from making metal fern stands (the plant that defined the 1970s) to making fish cookers. Or, you can place wood chunks down in the ash bin, so as the charcoal ashes fall into the ash bin, they land on the wood, causing it to smolder.

Masterbuilt 800 Charcoal Grill:

Easy Cleanup: The Gravity Series 560 features a removable porcelain-coated ashtray and a grease management system, making cleanup a breeze. Spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying delicious BBQ. Once lit, you can power on the PID controller and set your temperature. Just like on a pellet smoker, a fan directs air at the burning charcoal until you get to your programmed temperature, coming on as needed to maintain it. The Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050 is the largest of the three models, with a cooking area of 1050 square inches. It is made with heavy-duty stainless steel and has a porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking grate. The grill also features a built-in temperature gauge and adjustable air dampers for precise temperature control. Wi-Fi Connectivity: Stay connected to your grill from anywhere with the integrated Wi-Fi technology. Monitor and adjust temperatures, receive notifications, and access a library of mouthwatering recipes through the Masterbuilt app.
