You can easily get this or a 1050 for $350 or less. My local WM had the 1050 for $250 a couple months back and I bought the 800 for $350. I got my 560 for under $200 about 2 years ago.

I burn whole splits with charcoal in my MB gravity. I get a smokier flavor than what is acheivable in a pellet but I can also get bad smoke which I have to manage which can leave a bitter flavor on the food.

Pellet grills, gravity, stick burners all have their places. I like a strong smoke flavor on my food and I like managing a fire but I don't have the interest in sitting up managing a stick burner like I might have when I was younger (and drank more).

These MB gravity series make good smokers but only ok grills. Charcoal burns pretty nuetral so most of the flavor people are taking about with a charcoal grill are from the burned fat, radiation and ash which these won't reproduce (except the ash). You can get charcoal pellets for your pellet smoker which makes absolutely no sense to me but to each their own.

With these you do have to manage grease or you will get a fire when you take it above 450F or so. Rendered fat, temps above the fire point of the oil and sparks make it pretty much unavoidable unless you clean it well ahead of time and catch your drippings. Even with a hopper full of wood you burn most of the flavorfull volatiles at higher than smoking temps so I just use my gas grill or a komado if I want to do some high temp grilling.

There is some innovation in bring gravity smokers down to this price point, prior to MBs entrance to market, you would spend $1500 for the next cheapest (Old Country) which was a steal compared to the next one around $2500. That said the construction of these incorporates a lot of sheet metal (and firebrick in the fire box) which just isn't going to last more than a couple of years if you regularly take it up to higher temps. A lot of replacement parts are available though for what seems like a reasonable price.

The WIFI and Bluetooth is a challenge to get working but I have managed to keep mine going. I reloaded the grill app recently and it took me about 3 hours of trying to get it to talk with my router. An aftermarket wifi antenna helps. Once I can get it to find my network and initialize it works great moving forward. I manage a lot of my cooks from work (though the built in TCs are junk, I use a secondary wifi remote thermometer).

This is a good deal if this meets your needs/wants but these do get clearanced out every year. That said, I'd rather be smoking some food than waiting around for a rock bottom price personally.

Very YMMV. In my area these sold out in most of the 30 closest stores prior to the Fall season and BBQ clearance timing. Then the couple remaining stores with stock immediately sold out after they went clearance.

...You don't understand this smoker. Lump smokers like this are far better than pellet smokers in many ways. Thus why pro's don't use pellet smokers.
The irony is I first found out about pellet smokers from a pro.

Agreed most are sold out right now but I couldnt justify spending $200 or more in the winter season as it is unless you are in a place that you can grill year round in the sun and warmth. They wouldnt clearance them in those regions anyway

I own everything except for this. Traeger 850 produces horrible smoke flavor compared to my Weber Smokey mountain. No comparison. Great color. Easy to use but the smoke is trash compared to what my wbs gets. My baby egg does a better job. If I was to rank smoke flavor wbs, egg, kettle, pellet. Ease of use pellet, wbs, kettle then egg.

I have both and I can't get the true charcoal flavor that this produces from my pellet smoker.
It's a pain in a, but for flavor charcoal is king!

What do you use for a wifi thermometer? Or any recommendations so I can still monitor my smoke if I have to leave the house.

I have an Inkbird. Their rep drops 50% off codes in Facebook smoking groups pretty regularly. I have no issues with mine.

The MEATER is a great option. Plus is the single about $80, the block has four probes, can get it for about $258.80 now on Amazon. I posted the deal yesterday.

But I also have the ink bird. Both good. Different uses.

I'm not seeing the 50% off, do you happen to have a link to a FB group with a current promo? Thanks!

D'Oh - I just got this BF because I couldn't wait anymore without a grill. At least I got a few bags of Charcoal out of it from the MB website.

Did my research - seems like the best of both worlds between a pellet and traditional charcoal.

I ended up with an 800 because I think I'll use the griddle - and the wife wanted the bigger version than the 560. Note that they have slightly revised the design, so older YT videos with defects / mods may not apply. That said, I'm cautious about grease fires. Just finished preseason the other night - what should I cook first? (in the middle of the rainy season)

These things seem awesome
I love my pellet grill but the idea of a true charcoal smoker with the convenience of a pellet grill seems ideal. Gets hot enough to sear, fast, more smoke flavor, throw in lump charcoal. Very cool.
Got rid of my pellet grill... this produces MUCH better smoked meats... (and other items) - not to mention the flexibility of grilling, etc.
