The Masterbuilt Gravity Series XT is a heavy-duty digital charcoal grill and smoker. It holds any temperature from 107°C to 371°C (225°F to 700°F) and cooks for up to 24 hours on a single load of charcoal.
Fill the GravityFed hopper with lump charcoal or briquettes, light it with a fire starter and set the temperature on the control panel or in the Masterbuilt app. It reaches smoking temperature in about 7 minutes and 371°C (700°F) in about 11, ready for ribs smoked low and slow, whole roast chickens or steaks seared over hot charcoal. The 8,158 sq cm of cooking space holds 20 chickens or 16 racks of ribs at once.
The DigitalFan moves air from the hopper into the cooking chamber to reach the set temperature and hold it, while gravity feeds fresh charcoal down to the fire as it burns. The FuelSaver body is a single-piece shell with dual-wall insulation, a porcelain-coated interior and a fibreglass mesh seal, keeping in heat, smoke and moisture so the charcoal goes further. The control panel graphs the grill temperature through the cook, and the app sets the temperature and cook time, sends alerts and tracks up to four meat probes.
The XT comes with reversible grates that have a sear side and a smoke side, plus up to three stainless steel warming racks. A folding stainless steel front shelf, a side shelf with three utensil hooks and a paper towel holder, a removable ash bucket and a full-body grease tray complete it, all on a four-wheel cart.
