Arteflame ONE30 30" Flat-Top Charcoal Grill

The smallest Arteflame: a 20-inch round CORTEN steel cooktop with an open centre grate over the fire and a flat plancha surface ringing it. You sear over the centre at 1,000°F-plus, then move the meat outward onto the griddle ring to finish, where the temperature falls off with distance from the fire. It is the same one-piece weathering-steel construction and the same cooking geometry as the Classic 40 the catalog already carries, at roughly a third of the price and a quarter of the footprint.

An Arteflame is a solid half-inch carbon steel cooktop ring around an open central fire — a griddle and a fire pit in one, with no lid and no dampers. Heat is controlled by where food sits on the ring: the inner edge sears past 1,000°F, the outer edge holds finished food warm. The base is Corten weathering steel, which is meant to rust to a stable patina and then stop, so it is designed to live outdoors uncovered.

A charcoal grill built like a premium gas cart: all stainless, 605 sq in of WAVE cooking grid over a charcoal bed that cranks up and down for searing or roasting, a front-loading door so charcoal and smoking wood go in without lifting the grate, sliding air vents, a slide-out ash and drip pan, and a charcoal-fired rear rotisserie burner — which nothing else on the US market has. The lid is centre-gravity balanced so it lifts without swinging out past the back of the grill.

The Gravity XT is Masterbuilt's current gravity-fed flagship and a direct response to the #1 complaint about the original 560/800/1050 series: build quality. The XT gets dual-wall FuelSaver insulation, a porcelain-coated interior, beefier hardware, and a 3-year warranty (up from 1), while keeping the party trick that made the line famous - real charcoal flavor with pellet-grill automation, from a 225F smoke to a legitimate 700F cast-iron sear in minutes. Owners and reviewers consistently call it the best-cooking gravity smoker you can buy, with better fuel efficiency and steadier temps than the old 1050 and the Char-Griller Gravity 980. The honest caveats: at $1,799 it costs nearly triple what a Gravity 800 street-prices for, it's a 199 lb two-person assembly job, and the electronics-in-a-charcoal-grill concern hasn't vanished - fans, switches, and control boards remain the failure points owners report, though XT-generation complaints are notably rarer. The hopper's 12 lbs of lump or 18 lbs of briquettes genuinely runs an overnight brisket. If you want charcoal taste with an app and don't want a Big Green Egg's learning curve, this is the class leader.

The 2025 revision of the large Gravity Series, sold alongside the 1050 rather than replacing it. It adds 100 sq in, takes the hopper from 15.9 to 17.6 lb, and moves to a narrower and taller cabinet — 54.3 inches wide against the 1050's 60.6 — which is the real argument for it on a crowded patio. Masterbuilt rates the larger hopper at up to 15 hours of fuel.

The long-running large Gravity Series and still the volume seller of the line. Same gravity hopper and DigitalFan as the 600, in a wider cart-style body with 1,050 sq in across a main grate, a warming rack and a smoke rack. It sits between the 800 griddle-hybrid and the newer 1150 in Masterbuilt's range, and differs from the 1150 mainly in hopper size and cabinet updates rather than in how it cooks.
