Great forfeeding a crowdset-and-forget cooksreal charcoal flavorgadget lovers

A solid starter gravity smoker for a beginner cooking for a small household, but be cautious searing fatty cuts and expect to run a firmware update out of the box.

Pros

  • Cheapest entry point into Masterbuilt's digital gravity-fed charcoal line
  • Simple app/dial control is easy for a first-time smoker owner
  • Holds steady low smoking temperatures well once running
  • Loads of cooking room — 800 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • 560 sq in cooking space is on the small side for a family or party
  • Flare-up risk when searing fatty steaks directly over the coals
  • Some owners report control-board or sensor failures within the first couple years
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Door-position sensor and control-board failures reported by some owners (Masterbuilt has replaced parts free even out of warranty)
  • Grease flare-ups/fires reported when reverse-searing fatty cuts
  • Early units had WiFi/Bluetooth connection problems, later improved by a firmware update
