What Is a Gravity Series® Grill?

As a leader in charcoal grilling, Masterbuilt strives to innovate the outdoor cooking space. With the launch of the Gravity Series® Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker, we set out to revolutionize grilling and give charcoal lovers a reason to celebrate. But what exactly is Gravity Series, and how does it transform charcoal grilling for the better? Let's take a look.

Why Gravity Series?

Charcoal has long been a staple in the grilling world for its dynamic flavor but can often be time-consuming and difficult to maintain a consistent temperature. Pellet grills have seen a rise in popularity thanks to their simplicity and temperature control, but often lack the ability to achieve higher temperatures for searing. With Masterbuilt's Gravity Series Grill + Smoker, we bring charcoal flavor and high temperature grilling with the ease of a propane or pellet grill.

How Does It Work?

A Gravity Series grill operates through one simple vision: Fueled by charcoal, fed by gravity. Featuring a GravityFed™ vertical hopper, a Gravity Series grill can hold enough charcoal to allow users to grill or smoke foods for up to 8 hours without refilling.

Once you LOAD IT with up to 16 pounds of briquettes or 10 pounds of lump charcoal, the next step is to LIGHT IT from a specialized chamber underneath the charcoal hopper grate with either a Masterbuilt Fire Starter or a piece of paper. Once your charcoal has lit and you're ready to start cooking, you can then SET IT on the WiFi-enabled digital control panel or from a smart device using the Masterbuilt app.

Key Features

Every Gravity Series grill includes the following key features:

  • GravityFed Charcoal Hopper - Redefine charcoal cooking with the GravityFed Hopper that holds up to 8 hours of fuel using lump or briquette charcoal. No need to remove charcoal after each use.
  • DigitalFan™ Control - With the push of a button, the digitally controlled fan moves air flow from the hopper to the cooking chamber and maintains desired cooking temperature.
  • Smoke + Sear Versatility - Reach 700°F in 15 minutes to grill + sear or 225°F in 10 minutes for low + slow cooking with reversible cast iron grates to smoke + sear.
