Charcoal Grill / Smoker under $1k get the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050 with optional griddle insert

just turn the dial, push the button, and you have flame on your charcoal. It lights the charcoal faster and more thoroughly than the paper method does too, so you reduce your startup time by a good 5 minutes. If you grill as much as I do this adds up. And if you are one of those people that use lighter fluid then stop reading this and BUY THIS NOW

How well does it work?: In general - pretty darn good. Because it does such a good job regulating the temperature via the fans, it's hard to mess up on this. It blows through fuel quicker than I'm used to, but that's because its fans are adding oxygen at almost all times, as opposed to ceramic smokers that sort of smolder slowly. Worth it for the ease of use

Number four is the ash can. It has an ash can underneath the grill right here so it stays in place and then you can just empty your ashes into here ju...

Probably from stacking on top/each other in some slow boat from the China. The grill can be temper mental to start, but once you find the right sequence to ignite the charcoals, this grill is money!

Awesome

I have seen a lot of YouTube videos on how to use a Weber kettle for slow cooking, and even though I got the pellet grill for that, I decided to try with the Weber as well. I will say that at this point, I am glad I got the pellet grill. It is very difficult to adjust and maintain the temperature on the kettle. Also, the air vent on the lid is directly opposite the thermometer

Or you can use this little guy if you don't have your watch handy. And as you can see, we've got some smoke already coming out and you can see we're g...

On the other hand do not avoid it because of the app. 5 out of 10 6 Price. This is expensive. Hoping it was worth the cost

This is a great value for the money and we love how easy it is to light the charcoal. There's cool places to hang your grilling utensils and a roomy area to work on also.

The app is very hand (when it works), but it needs some serious development. A buggy app is one thing, but it's appalling that an entire product with so much marketing material focused on the smart connectivity doesn't actually work half the time. Luckily, this grill has a lot going for it aside from the app/connectivity. It's a beautiful grill, feels very solid, and a pleasure to grill on

but anyway I'm going to keep talking about it and tell you what I like about it and what I don't like about it I do think it looks nice and it's anoth...
