Thanks Tom as always… I did buy the MB800 last year and it has been great. I agree with everything you said. I even went to buy the Chargiller after watching the original video and ended up going with the MB in the end. I think for me the Bread Box design is better. I also like the ability to place the pan under the grates on the heat exchange baffle. (It was a LSS Mod). it is clean and I have no issues with grease. I also like the ability to remove the entire bottom for more detailed cleaning. I would have the Chargiller…. But last minute change and I am happy. (The griddle is kind of a waste on the 800).

I was hoping there would be some new innovation with either of these companies with the gravity fed cookers this year but there was none. Kind of thinking there would have been some if they weren't under the same umbrella of the same company. It also looks like they decided to put their efforts into the Connected Joe this year so maybe next year with some upgrades. All that said, I always liked the look of the Chargriller better and would probably be the one I'd get. Nice review Tom!

I ended up with the MB 1050 since CharGriller wasn't sold anywhere around me. So I guess there was no competition in my area.

I've only got a couple of cooks on it so far but I'm really happy with it, other than the cost!

For me last year, after much research between the two (and watching your videos!), I decided to go Masterbuilt...but with the cheaper/smaller Masterbuilt 800. I was going to get the Chargriller, but at that time they had increased the price +$100 from when it first came out, and that made me really upset. So when the 800 was on sale I got it (the griddle and inclusion of the upgrades/fixes over the 1050 and 560 is what finally sold me). I did however also pay for a few of the LSS mods: fire box liner, hopper lid, baffle plate/grease pan holder, exhaust cover...which increased the price a bit (longevity was definitely a concern of mine). So far, the 800 has produced some great cooks (best reverse sear steaks I've ever made) that save me so much work from my previous offset.

I have been looking for a new grill and smoker combo and recently found these. I think I agree, CG all the way. I just wish the main grilling surface was larger because I have a family of 10. I had been thinking of a 48" Assassin, but now I don't think I can justify over doubling the price after seeing this. I'm already cooking double batches of most things on my 22" Weber kettle, so I guess I can deal with it if it happens on the CG 980. Lol

Thank you so very much! Love this video! I hear so many reviews with other results, like the 980 no being accurate with temps, not having a good seal, second shelf being useless, flaps burning etc, so I find it interesting that your experience is so different.. I’m sure some of it has to do with mods and each individual model. My choice would be for the MB, all day. Mainly for the chamber layout, bread box style or what ever you call it. Not a fan of the barrel design. Also that fan sticking out like that is a poor poor design imo, and the 980 is much bigger than the MB in terms of foot print on tight deck. But for me: it’s that tripple shelf setup bread box style.. I always tend to cook in second rack, taking advantage of that convection effect.. But that’s me. Also, I can’t get the Char Griller in my area 😂 So there’s that Thanks again Tom.

I have watch many video's on the Char-Griller 980 and thought I bought a excellent smoker grill and searing. For the 1st year I had this grill I had nothing but problems. the fire brick broke, the control knob stop working and the control device stop working the fan stop working the temp gauge inside stop working I spent more time talking to customer service trying to get repairs done then cooking and the wifi connection would not connect. For some reason after all the repairs and figuring out the wifi ( bought a cheap tablet with google apps at WalMart which I use only for the control device which I did stop having problems with wifi and that works good unless you go about 75 feet from the grill then you still lose connection but if you get back in the range you will get it back to the signal area and it app controls very well) I thought I bought a terrible smoker grill and many error messages too. I still pressed on with the problems and NOW it working very well. I still have problems with searing but maybe I will figure that out soon but I also have a 50 to 100 degree temp difference from one side versa the other other side. but I still trying to figure that out also. I believe this is a good device but let see what this year brings.

I just got a Gravity 980 from Lowe's, but was able to order it in red, like yours. I need to break it in, season the grates, but I wanted to make this year's turkey on this. I was considering using some wood chunks mixed in with some Kingsford apple wood charcoal, and running it at 225F. I did that last year with a stock Char Griller Legacy grill with side box/smoker, but should keep the temp better this year, and maybe have a little more smoke flavor.

MasterBuilt has more positive reviews, especially with updates made if you’re comparing a 2yr old grill.

After three years of trying to decide on which pellet grill to get, I stumbled on and went with the MB560 because I have a small backyard and deck plus Home Depot had em for $398 but I should have just sucked it up and went for the 800. Why? Because after having the damn thing for three months, 4 smoked picanha, 30lbs of pork butt, 80lbs of brisket, 40 racks of ribs, 2 chickens and at least 38 prime ribeyes, I just want the bigger grill. I added some LS mods and honestly use the damn thing 2 or 3 times a week and love it. Can't say enough good things or tell enough people about it.
