Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800

The gravity-fed hopper holds up to 16 pounds of charcoal, which feeds down into the firebox automatically as the fuel burns. This design allows you to set your desired temperature digitally, and the fan maintains that heat consistently without you needing to manually adjust vents or add charcoal constantly.

Yes, it is designed for versatility. You can set the digital controller as low as 225°F for slow-smoking briskets or crank it up to 700°F for searing steaks and burgers, making it a true hybrid cooker.

The Gravity Series 800 comes with a dedicated flat-top griddle insert that replaces the standard cast-iron cooking grates. You simply remove the grates and drop the griddle insert into place when you want to cook breakfast foods, smash burgers, or stir-fry.

The digital fan system is highly effective at maintaining steady temperatures, which is essential for long, low-and-slow cooks. Because the fuel is gravity-fed, you won't experience the typical temperature swings associated with traditional charcoal grills.

The 800 square inches refers to the total primary cooking surface, which is quite large. It is spacious enough to handle a full packer brisket, multiple racks of ribs, or a large batch of burgers for a crowd, and the foldaway racks provide even more room if you need it.

Yes, because it uses a digital fan and temperature controller, you need to plug the unit into a standard electrical outlet to operate it. It cannot function as a charcoal grill without power.
