Product Information

And of course, what’s a smoker test from AmazingRibs.com without ribs? Here are the results of a 6-hour low & slow BBQ rib cook following our Last Meal Ribs recipe. Once again, a successful cook and a very happy mouth. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and that is perhaps for the better. In general, we can do everything we want with 3 or 4 barbecues. Maybe two, but don’t tell my wife that. The only thing we missed was a reliable smoker that does it’s work while we are doing something else. It’s hard to think of a way that this gravity charcoal grill smoker could be easier to use. To set the temperature, just dial in the temp that you want on the digital temperature control and wait between 7-13 minutes. It takes 7 minutes to get to a consistent 225° and 13 minutes to achieve a roaring 700°. Side Shelf: The one aggravation that I had with this cooker is the hopper base tray, the tray that holds up all the charcoal. The first time, you have to burn the smoker clean. This way, you burn off the leftovers of dirt and grease that may have been left behind during manufacturing. After that, you let the Masterbuilt cool down, and you can get started. After lighting, you are at 140 degrees (284F) in ten to fifteen minutes. If you want to grill, because that is also possible, it takes 10 minutes longer. In no time, the Masterbuilt is roaring at 350 degrees (660F).

Your Masterbuilt is covered by a 2 year manufactures warranty. But buying from ProSmoke means we deal with any issues in partnership with the manufacturer, so you are not on your own, that's why we are the only Platinum dealer in the UK.

The verdict

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. We might note here: While we appreciate and admire the novel design, it’s not necessary to understand how or why it works. Because if you follow the instructions, it will work—as we learned. Firing It Up The Masterbuilt smoker does not smoke on its own. You can smoke whenever you want and at any temperature by adding smoke wood. For example, a pellet smoker smokes most below 120 degrees (248F) and much less above that. Wood above 120 degrees no longer smoulders but burns and then hardly emits any smoke. You have a digital control panel that lets you set your exact temperature between 225 – 700°F. The control panel connects to an app for remote control. The digital control panel includes room for up to four meat probes.

Unmatched Versatility: From slow-smoked ribs to seared steaks, this smoker-grill offers the ultimate versatility, allowing you to experiment with various cooking techniques and flavors. Since an all-over sear means more flavor than the stripes of grill marks, I rotated the steak about every 15 seconds, and flipped it over every minute to a new hot section of the grate until there was a nice even brown flavorful crust and the internal temperature was 132°F, about medium-rare. The flavor was outstanding with just a hint of wood smoke from the single wood chunk. Using the Signals to detect temperature variation at different points on the grill Probes placed to measure middle and left and right sides of the grill Pellet grills have been all the rage for the past 5-10 years in the outdoor cooking market. It seems like everyone has one now, and even Weber has recently joined the pellet grill game with their new SmokeFire pellet cooker. It’s called the Masterbuilt Gravity Series of smokers, and it’s a digitally controlled charcoal fed smoker that’s as “set it and forget it” as a wifi and Bluetooth pellet grill. Have I piqued your interest? I know they piqued mine the first time I saw it.This grill/smoker is aimed at people who want the taste of cooking with charcoal, without any of the hassles.
