    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    You did! I think my thread is starting to look like a CIA redacted document at this point. Haha.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    Yeah maybe I’m just unlucky but the customer service aspect is what is universal. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/hello-from-idaho.317947/#post-2373166 I posted this with a few photos!

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    I mean it makes great quality meat, when it works. But I mean let’s be honest… I’ve demonstrated the quality control is awful, tons of people have issues, and Masterbuilt offers some of the worst customer service ever. Why defend Masterbuilt, who is owned by Middleby Ovens, a company worth...

    My first smoked pork butt..

    That looks amazing! I know this sounds nuts but I learned to soak my pork butt overnight in root beer (yes really) and then pad dry/season for an incredible flavor. I learned this in Hawaii and I haven’t looked back since!

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    In terms of cooking, this is straight up the best results I’ve ever got from direct/indirect smoking/grilling ever. I wish I didn’t buy it at retail price though.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    Yes, it's an updated version according to the PCB. I hot glued the white connector in the center which is the power connector, and I hot glued the wires around the black retention clip.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    I think Masterbuilt should have done physical contact switches. I replaced them with magnetic reed switches and they work great now. They were probably just a few cents more. I’ve hot glued the new control units power wire in place to fix that problem. It also has a different Wifi card I...

    Hello from Idaho!

    Hey everyone! I've lurked here for a decade... maybe more now that I'm thinking about it. You guys got me into smoking things and so I just want to say thank you! I'm currently using a Masterbuilt 800 for smoking/grilling and it does an amazing job when I don't have technical issues. My next...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    Thanks! I've probably been browsing here for maybe a decade. Because of this place, I got into smoking and grilling way more and I've been lurking forever for tips and tricks. I owe a lot to this forum even if I always just hid in the background! I'll try to actually take pictures and post some...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    You're not going to win any friends by private messaging me and harassing me with my very first post and then flooding my thread in which you previously said no one cares. Please tell me WHY I'm not supposed to post my honest opinions? Are you working for Masterbuilt or something? It would...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    Thanks! I think it was a fair post to show all of the quality issues. Maybe it'll make people think twice. But I agree, the grilling/griddle/smoker are awesome when they work. I've made some of my best meals on this thing. I just wish it was built better and that Masterbuilt cared!

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    Well, those door switches WILL fail. So have a plan to replace them. As I said, I replaced them with better contact switches and then soldered in an override to make the fan turn on manually, and to make the switches think they are shut. I would also try to tape or hot glue the power connector...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    Hello all! First post here but I've been reading for a while. But, I basically want to go through my experience of dealing with Masterbuilt Gravity 800 series smoker directly through Masterbuilt approximately a year and three months ago. This grill has been stored in a dry climate, in an indoor...
