The Masterbuilt Gravity Smoker 560 is a new grill to the market, and I was fortunate to get a pre-release model to test out, and come up with some recipes for.
It’s a really interesting and well thought out grill.
The Masterbuilt 560 uses charcoal, either lumpwood or briquettes, and I’ve even heard rumours that you can use wood as well. You load the charcoal hopper up adding a few chunks of smoking wood, set a natural firestarter going below, allow to catch for a few minutes, before shutting the door and turning on the control unit and fan.

The video below shows my first initial views on the Masterbuilt gravity smoker I will be adding further cooking videos using the grill so make sure to subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss these videos. Let me know in the comments box below what you’d like to see me cook on the masterbuilt smoker, and any questions you may have.
Please note I was sent the grill for free to review freely and paid to create content, recipes etc. by the distributor.
This is a cool post, Its a very interesting and
detailed breakdown. Ive shared it with my freinds on facebook and instagram.
Hi Marcus
Love the new Gravity fed 560 , I”am thinking about purchasing one . Can you tell me why here in the UK it’s £699 . That’s double the price , for what you are selling it in America.
Just seems a bit excessive .
Hey Daryl, yes it does seem excessive, but is similar to a lot of things that are imported from the US.
Hi Marcus ,
Have bit the bullet and have mine arriving today . All I need to do is work out what to cook first .
Will try and come over on one of you cook days when this is all over , your not far away . I’am near Honiton .
Stay safe Daryl
Have put together the Masterbuilt . Season it all ready to go .
Hi Marcus,
like the review very interesting.
I am very keen on the 560, I cant find anything else out there that has the same controlabilty ( not sure thats a word) from a charcoal grill. I wondered if you are still impressed, if you think its worth the investment or if there are any other players to consider?
Thanks
Simon
Still loving it, it’s a great grill and excellent value for money.
What would you recommend the most this or the proQ excell smoker??
Hey Ryan, both are brilliant, different price points, depends if you want something controllable and easy, or something you want to learn more with at a lower price point.
Hi there, was just wondering if this smoker is big enough for a whole brisket roughly 6 to 7 kg?
Yes definitely, see my latest video on the masterbuilt capacity
Hello there, I have some difficult neighbours and wondered how much smoke the 560 chucked out when slow low cooking.
very little as it’s forced air controlled
