Masterbuilt Smokers:
Masterbuilt Gravity Series Digital Charcoal

The Masterbuilt Gravity Series uses a tall vertical hopper that holds your lump charcoal or briquettes. As charcoal at the bottom burns, gravity feeds fresh fuel down automatically.

A digital fan controlled by the onboard computer regulates airflow precisely to hit your target temperature. Fill the hopper once, set a temp on the app, and walk away. The system maintains temperature for up to 18 hours on the Gravity 600, 15 hours on the 1150 and 24 hours on the XT without any manual intervention.

That is the magic: real charcoal flavour with pellet-smoker convenience.

All three share the same engineering: gravity-fed hopper, digital fan control, app integration, 107°C to 371°C temperature range. The difference is cooking capacity.

Gravity Series 600: 600 sq in cooking space, fits 5 racks of ribs or 10 whole chickens (per Masterbuilt). Compact footprint for regular backyards.

Gravity Series 1150: Nearly double at 1,150 sq in, fits 12 racks of ribs or 19 whole chickens (per Masterbuilt). Built for regular entertainers and large cooks. 1-year warranty, per Masterbuilt AU.

Gravity Series XT: The flagship at 1,260 sq in, with up to 24 hours on one hopper fill and a 3-year warranty. On display at our Wetherill Park showroom.

The 600 burns up to 18 hours on a hopper fill versus up to 15 hours on the 1150, per Masterbuilt.

Both lump charcoal and briquettes work in the GravityFed hopper. Browse the Masterbuilt fuel collection.

The free Masterbuilt app on iOS and Android lets you set the target chamber temperature, monitor the actual temperature in real time, track meat probe temperatures, and set cook timers with push alerts.

The practical use case: you start a brisket at 9pm, set the chamber to 110°C and the meat target probe to 95°C, then go to bed. The app wakes you when the brisket hits temp. No staying up to babysit a fire.

The Gravity Series connects over WiFi to the Masterbuilt app, with up to 4 meat probes.

Three different categories with different strengths:

Masterbuilt Digital Charcoal: Real charcoal flavour with set-and-forget app control. Excellent for buyers who want hands-off charcoal cooking without learning kamado vent management.

Pellet Smoker (Yoder, GMG, Traeger): Clean wood smoke flavour with digital convenience. Most models run lower than the Gravity Series' 371°C top temperature, though some, like the Yoder YS640s, can sear with direct flame. Best for low-and-slow specialists.

Big Green Egg or other ceramic kamado: Among the most versatile cookers you can buy, from low-and-slow smoking to very high-heat searing, and fuel efficient. They need hands-on vent management rather than app control, and are built to last for serious enthusiasts.

If you want the easiest path to real charcoal flavour, the Masterbuilt is the right call. Visit our Wetherill Park showroom and see all three categories side by side.

Yes. Per Masterbuilt, one hopper fill runs for up to 18 hours on the Gravity 600, 15 hours on the 1150 and 24 hours on the XT at low temperatures.

The digital fan holds your set temperature while gravity feeds fresh charcoal down from the hopper, and the Masterbuilt app sends push alerts when your meat probe hits its target. Start a brisket in the evening and go to bed. For the longest runs, briquettes burn longer and more evenly at lower temperatures.
