At first glance, the MasterBuilt Gravity Series 800 looks like plenty of other outdoor grills on the market—but looks are deceiving. This grill contains both standard cooking grates and a wide-open cast-iron griddle that would make any short-order cook weep.
Whatever the style of cooking you're feeling on any given day, the grill is powered by a stack of charcoal on the right side of the grill, that lights from the bottom. Using a digital display, you can set the temperature anywhere from 225° to 700° Fahrenheit. Not only does it ride highs and lows equally well, but it heats up to max in as little as 14 minutes. When the cooking is done, there are points on the charcoal stack to cut the air off from the fire so you don't waste any fuel.

Unlike the popular (and expensive) pellet grills on the market, MasterBuilt Gravity Series 800 is unbelievably versatile. On the low end, it can perfectly smoke brisket, pork shoulder, whole chickens, and any style of rib to fall-off-the-bone perfection with slow and steady heat that won't dry out your payload. On the high end, this powerful grill has more than enough firepower to sear a rib-eye steak or put some serious char on everything from vegetables to flatbreads.
The feature that sets MasterBuilt Gravity Series 800 is its griddle, which is equally adept at making sliders and hot dogs for an army, or a full-blown diner breakfast including eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and even pancakes. If you're looking for complications or caveats, you won't find them here. MasterBuilt Series 800 is an outdoor cooking workhorse, is easy to maintain and an absolute joy to use.
