Do you still love this smoker?! I want the char griller so bad your facts make it so easy to go with it

Once I saw your video, I've decided to do the same type of thing except I'm also going to add some thin poly carb sheeting to the top for rain. Thanks for the awesome idea!

I used this design for my large window well cover. I decided to use more 1x4s to create less space for critters to fall through. But man, did this save me a ton of money. Many many thanks.

Agree with all your points, except prices have changed. Im still going with MB 800 because of griddle, pizza oven for the same price

I own 2 MB 560s. still going strong.. The Char-Griller Gravity kinda disappeared from site on youtube videos..

Masterbuilt wins. You can do more with MB. PIZZA AND GRIDDLE.

You can screw theough the metal into the wood, bolt it down to secure it in place. You can also put wood pegs next to the edges(set them in cement), then bolt those in. That'll make it so they can't be taken off.

How long does it take to cool down the grill

not a good idea to use that on your deck what appears to be composite wood. don't do this guys you could loose your house . Not to mention the railing paint and white house.7:23 he wipes his fingers with a greasy towel LMAOOO ....this guy is hillariouus.

What a joke, this guy is comparing two gravity grills and one of them he has never actually used himself, his comparison is based on someone else's reviews, and as we all know, most products always have good and bad reviews, however, in this case, it seems as he if only was interested on the bad reviews of the Materbuilt, this is not really a comparison, because in a true and honest comparison, you always have pros and cons of the products being compared, thus, heo nly mentiones what Char-Griller advantages over Masterbuilt, and there's no mentioned of what's better on a Masterbuilt over a Char-Griller. How much did you get from Char-Griller?

Price per square inch useable is one way of looking at the comparison but not really something I would consider in buying. Personally quality of build is very import, consistency of cooking temps is extremely important, both of which the MB wins hands down. I don't think the CB is a bad option particularly, but I think the points I just made, added to the frequently logged issues with the fan damper, the thin grates (no good for searing) and the sheer instability of the unit when you have to move it all related to the CB would make me choose the MB every time

Good job man, thanks for the ideas.

You had me because your house could be in my neighborhood.

The MB’s fire bricks are concealed by the interior metal wall instead of exposed in the CG. A couple companies also provide stainless steel mods that improve on the weaknesses of the MB, making it a true heavy duty grill. MB 800 also includes the griddle top and MB has rotisserie and pizza oven accessories. A couple comparison reviews noted the legs on the CG do not provide very good stability, but perhaps CG has addressed this issue. Are their aftermarket mods for the CG? If so, it may bring CG back into the mix.

Thanks for the “How To” Vids! Sure come in handy!

MINI Pancakes? Why not do the test with biscuits like it's normally done. So you can see how it gets cooked all the way thru?

Good lookin my boi

Thanks for the info, was looking for another alternative to the Masterbuilt and this video helped a lot.

Found the MB 800 for $250 at Walmart. No brainer

I just ordered my 980 today and should be here early next week from Lowes. I really want to thank you for the clear and very detailed video of "How To's, I appreciate the time you took to share these! Thank you!

this guy is jacked

I use Duraflame starter sticks because those little starter things you are using fall out of the place they sit in when you light them. I get the starter sticks and push them up into the charcoal then light and they don't fall and they light the charcoal very efficiently.

Been waiting 2 years to get this grill but I guess the great bbq nation of Australia does not care about good bbq any more

Great idea! We will be building some of these for our home very soon. Thank you for sharing!

Have you tried their new Auto Kamodo?

Awesome video and design. Way better than the complicated designs elsewhere and definitely cheaper than the plastic covers which cost and arm and a leg and don't last. I used your design and added a sheet of polycarbonate on top. I also added a couple of small risers on the window side to create an incline to be sure water would drain off.

Are you in Colorado, sure looks like the springs area?

Great review by John Wick.

Awesome results. These results whoop those of any pellet grill

Question for you, how's the grill doing today.? Seeing negative comments on durability. Any issues experienced.?

00:43 - Awesome effect with the toy truck riding across the grill!!

Anyone ever tell you you look a little like Keanu Reeves?

Hard watching this staring at you instead of what you’re talking about on the grill. Maybe edit and film you showing the grills and not you.

Chargrill is 799

The 980 is now $749 at at Lowes, and the masterbuilt GS800 is still at $699 ar Walmart.

why not add some plastic under the wood so nothing can get in and leak in your basemant? I would put a plant on top of that wood though. great idea

Might do this with a pallet

Why do you say you prefer either of these to a pellet grill? Is it the amount of smoke or is there something wrong with pellet grills?

Thanks, does char griller use a PID controller?

Great comparisons, reviews and insights.I also like you added you are an engineer. I had zero idea about gravity fed charcoal grills/smokers. I'm assuming these are not pellet grills? I bought a Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center ( now known as the Weber Kamado ) after doing much research, when I was offered an employee discount of anything I wanted by one of my customers just after the pandemic started. Best decision I could have made, and with the accessories I also did research on, I have a complete cooking, grilling and smoking arsenal I enjoy using, and my family enjoys the results.

If I could talk to myself 2 years ago, I would have told myself NOT NOT NOT to buy the gravity grill

Thanks for the video. Which method do you prefer better?

It’s clearance season at Lowes. Just snagged one of these for $260. The Pitboss Pro was also on sale for $174 but I prefer the taste with charcoal. If your looking to get one, now is the time to do it! Better act fast as it’s flying out the door!

Great video! Has anyone ever told you that you have the same face as Keanu Reeves? Haha

Thanks for the video. The 1st time I used the grill I added a few pieces of wood in the ash tray as the directions stated. For the 2nd time, I added a few pieces of wood in the ash tray but this time the silicone cover leading to the fan burned. This caused the digital display to show "Open." By this time, I had a brisket on the grill. Because the grill was malfunctioning, I lost a $57 brisket. I called Char Griller for guidance. After buying the grill at Lowe's and having them assemble it, I'm pissed that Char Griller would NOT reimburse me for the brisket. If I had been using the grill multiple times before this malfunction, I would not think of asking them for a refund. This was the 2nd cook in 2 weeks! Char Griller is going to send me the parts and now I have to make the repair instead of Lowe's which is NOT my thing. Nov 21, 2021 Update Do NOT buy your grill directly from Char Griller! Buy it from Lowe's or another store that wants to satisfy their customers. If your grill malfunctions, simply return it to the retail outlet within the return policy dates and they will exchange it for a new one. Do NOT follow Char Griller's manual guidance to contact them instead of the store you bought it!!! After researching complaints against Char Griller, it seems everything boils down to "Operator Error." The so called "warranty" is worthless. They make you pay for the parts to repair the grill. Since I am getting a new grill from Lowe's, I will follow Grill and Smoke BBQ's guidance on getting the "new" flap so it doesn't ruin grill #2.

Great Review! I've been watching a few reviews of each of the 980 and have already ordered mine. (Should be here Wednesday) Thanks For the break down.... I'm stoked to get mine and get seasoning it....

Great job. Appreciate the % of main cooking area explanation. That should be a big factor and is why will be picking up this grill.

I recently put a comment that talked shit about the Char Griller 980, I want to take that shit back. I failed to read about how using wood may increase temperature as well as that you never add more than 1lb. of wood to a full hopper. Well, I added 3lbs of Hickory to a half full hopper. Discovering my error I want to say this, this grill/smoker is amazing. It maintains such a good temperature and the food is OMG good.

Is this grill heavy-duty or is it thin metal like the normal chargrillers?
