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

    • Best grill so far
Style: Gravity Series 600
In my opinion this is one awesome grill. The ability to dial in your temperature is the key. I know that if the tech breaks the grill is out of order, but so far (Approx. 1 mth) everything is great. I have done chicken, ribs, steaks, butts and veggies and it does low and slow to hot and fast. The advantage of using your own charcoal, lump wood and chips is also key. I will say it is a bit of a tough build. There a lot of parts and the instructions do not have any words. (Saves money on printing for different languages I would suspect) took me several hours and a couple of head scratches to complete. Capacity of this grill is pretty good a had two butts on the top rack, ribs and chicken on the bottom. It was full but cooked everything. The internal grill temp stays within 1 to 2 degrees when set. The value for the money on this 'controlled temperature' grill is great when compared to pellet grills. Would highly recommend this grill at this point in its use. It is my best grill to date. ... show more

Review Image by Don’t buy Masterbuilt Don’t buy Masterbuilt
I spent a lot of time reading reviews and researching this grill before I purchased it. Ultimately the reviews led me to buy it, even though they were somewhat mixed. I don’t generally like writing negative reviews, so I’m gonna try to highlight the positives, but also be really honest. I hope it helps drive people to not make the same mistake I did. This product cooks amazingly well when it works, both for hot and fast (steak) and low and slow (Texas BBQ). I think the design is brilliant, and I love the fact that I can cook really good food with plain old charcoal. It holds a temperature phenomenally well. 100% honesty here: I really enjoy using this grill / smoker. Anecdotally, I also own a Traeger Ironwood, and I enjoy the actual cook on the Masterbuilt more. Now, the unfortunate part. I would not buy this product again. Just to be crystal clear, I repeat, I would NOT buy this product again. Here’s why: 1. When I received the product, top was all dented 2. Assembling the product was a nightmare. For context, I’m a software developer and hobbyist carpenter. Im used to complex things and instructions. That wasn’t the issue. The issue is that all the nuts and bolts you need to get to are mostly incredibly difficult to reach. The instructions weren’t too complicated. Actually doing the work was really frustrating. 3. The Wi-Fi and app works very intermittently. Constantly lost connection, and the built in thermometers never worked 4. The main fan went out within 6 months. It was easy enough to replace, but again, just evidence of the poor build and component quality 5. All of the plastic buttons on the control module are cracked and breaking. The unit sits on a covered porch 6. Last night, the temperature knob stopped working. I can turn the knob, but the temperature won’t change. I assume I’ll need a whole new display module Again, I hate writing negative reviews and I actually do love the engineering and cooking experience on the product, when it works. If Traeger built this, it would be the best product on the market. Given the incredibly poor quality construction of this grill, however, I would encourage any potential buyer to look elsewhere, or wait until Masterbuilt starts building this thing better. ... show more
