The Gravity Series® Smoker Grill by Masterbuilt brings together the smoky flavor of a traditional charcoal grill with the modern convenience of digital controls. It’s designed for backyard cooks who want real charcoal flavor without the guesswork.

• Authentic Charcoal Flavor with Digital Precision - As a true charcoal grill and smoker, the Gravity Series delivers rich, smoke-infused flavor in every cook. With a built-in digital control panel, you can set and hold your desired cooking temperature for everything from low-and-slow smoking to high-heat searing — all without manual vent adjustments.
• Easy to Light, Simple to Use - Lighting charcoal has never been easier. The Gravity Series uses a fan-assisted ignition system and a vertical hopper design, making it simple to get your coals lit and stabilized quickly. Just insert a firestarter, ignite, and let the grill handle the rest — no chimney starter or lighter fluid needed.
• Versatile Cooking: Smoke, Grill, Sear, and Roast - This all-in-one smoker grill lets you smoke ribs at 225°F, sear steaks at 700°F, or roast whole chickens — all with the same fuel source. It’s built for versatility, giving you full control over how you cook.
• App-Connected Cooking and Temperature Monitoring - With the Masterbuilt app, you can monitor your food, adjust grill temps, and follow recipes from your phone. Whether you're in the backyard or inside prepping sides, you stay connected to your cook.
• Long Burn Times with the GravityFed™ Charcoal Hopper - The Gravity Series 1150 model features a vertical hopper that holds hours of fuel — up to 12 pounds of lump charcoal or 18 pounds of briquettes This means 15+ hours of consistent heat without the need to refuel mid-cook, even during long smokes.

The GravityFed™ Hopper is a signature feature of Masterbuilt's Gravity Series® charcoal grills, designed to deliver long, consistent heat without constant refueling. It holds either lump charcoal or briquettes in a vertical chamber and uses gravity to feed the fuel down as it burns — keeping your fire going for hours with minimal effort.

How It Works: Once the charcoal is lit, the GravityFed™ Hopper uses a fan-assisted system to control airflow and maintain your set cooking temperature. As the coals burn from the bottom, new fuel gradually drops down from the hopper, ensuring a steady supply of heat for the entire cook. This design eliminates the need to manually add charcoal during long smokes or grilling sessions.

Benefits of the GravityFed™ Charcoal Hopper

• Easy Charcoal Grilling: The GravityFed™ system works with Masterbuilt’s digital controls and app, so you can easily maintain your desired temperature without babysitting the grill.
• Cleaner Burns: Consistent airflow and fuel feed allow for more efficient combustion, which means better smoke flavor and less charcoal waste.
• Easy to Clean: The Gravity Series features a removable ash pan beneath the firebox, making post-cook cleanup fast and simple.

No, you can save any unused charcoal for the next cook! With Gravity Series grills you can cut off air supply to the charcoal by inserting the shutdown slides to choke out the fire and turn off the grill. This will allow you to save any unused fuel for your next cook. Typically, it takes 2 to 4 hours or longer to burn itself out.
