Gravity Series 800

Charcoal flavor with digital set-and-forget control — and a griddle top.

$597Approx. MSRP

Good for someone who wants one cooker that griddles breakfast, grills, and smokes brisket, but skip it if you don't want the extra electronics and rust upkeep that comes with a gravity-fed system.

Pros

  • True 3-in-1 charcoal grill, smoker, and griddle in one cooker
  • Digital DigitalFan control holds low smoking temps steady without babysitting
  • Can swing from low-and-slow smoking to 600°F+ searing on the same unit
  • Large 800 sq in cooking surface handles bigger cooks
  • Loads of cooking room — 800 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Significantly pricier than a dedicated single-purpose smoker or grill
  • Griddle plate adds an extra cleaning/maintenance step
  • Electronics are an added point of failure versus a simple charcoal grill
  • Heavy and bulky, not easy to move around

Known niggles

  • Firebox interior paint peeling and rust reported after roughly 1-2 years of regular use (not covered by warranty since it's considered normal wear)
  • Digital controller/circuit board and WiFi-Bluetooth connectivity failures reported, worse in humid or extreme weather
  • Auger/hopper feed can jam, especially with irregularly sized lump charcoal
