I purchased yesterday, amazon support was able to give me a $100 refund in price difference.
Good Deal?

Still too expensive for this great but pos smoker. It's a 2-3 season grill.

If you absolutely treat it like poop maybe a year or 2. They cook really good. Better than most pellets. made with really cheap thin metal though 😞

Some nice upgrades using Luke a LSS Mods. Reinforced fire box & heat shield. Check out Tom Horsman at YouTube to see how to use a gravity smoker with full splits. If not for the anticipated CharGriller update, this would be a must buy. Still a great deal.

OP, how did you get the refund? I ordered day before yesterday and they are telling me they won't refund the difference while chatting with them now?

ETA: Had to escalate to a supervisor and got a "one time exception". I think it helped to be friendly and explain that I wanted to avoid them having to schedule a pickup to return (since they couldn't cancel the shipment).

You get what you pay for. I've had the smaller model for 2 years with no serious issues. But it's definitely not a lifetime grill.

It's a POS smoker? Lol…did a side by side with a pellet grill smoking a pork shoulder and there was no comparison in the smoke ring…anything I wanted to smoke has had PLENTY of smoke

Is there details about a new CharGriller somewhere?

I've owned the smaller version for 2 years now. I don't think it can be beat when talking about quality of smoked food it puts out. I will admit it's not the thickest sheet metal and some of the electronics (door open sensors) leave a bit to be desired. That said, it is far from a POS in my experience. I don't expect to be needing to replace this grill anytime in the next 3-5 years.

Great price for this one. I've been hunting locally for a $200 800 series, that I would have to pay $100-$200 extra for someone to throw in their truck and deliver to my home (or spend extra time to rent a $20 pickup truck). Considering this along with free assembly (saving me another 1 to 3 hours or $99) makes this a no brainer if you're in the market. A FB marketplace seller was selling these for $580 with $20 delivery, and I'm sure no assembly. Now, to find a cheap grill cover for this...


Edit: in the time it took me to finish this post, the suckers have sold out hahaha

lol there's always that guy who wants a $200 grill but with $1500 material. That 200$ guy should try to build one with higher quality material, no support, and no warranty Smilie

Is masterbuilt the only company making something like this? I'm getting really tired of the lack of smoke flavor coming off the pellet grill I have, but I don't want to go full on stick burner because I love the hands off nature of the pellet grill and being able to adjust it from my phone from anywhere is awesome.

From what I've heard this masterbuilt is a great proof of concept that gets a lot closer to stick burner flavor, but the cheaper materials, poor quality and reliability of the electronics, and the downright bad app make it tough to want to pay the price of admission.

So again I'll ask does anyone know if there are any other higher quality makers with similar units? I'm happy to pay double or triple for a well made version of this with long lasting electronics and a good app. Does that exist?

I'm waiting for this to go on sale. Huge smoke flavor with the additional smoker box. https://www.campchef.com/woodwind...ro-36.html
