Masterbuilt AutoIgnite™ Series 545 Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker

Der aktuell auf dem Markt beste Holzkohlegrill. Ich liebe das Gerät. Ich Koche nur noch draußen. Egal ob Fleisch, Hünchen, Fisch oder Gemüse. Alles mega schnell und einfach. Das aller beste ist die automatische Kohleanzünder und die Temperaturüberwachung vollautomatisch. Das Geld ist er wirklich wert. Zudem mega chillig mit der App.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Masterbuilt autoignite 545 unit this fall and am really looking forward to using it once the weather warms up. I’ve been interested in the gravity charcoal feed concept for quite some time, but I’ve held off on buying a pellet grill because I’ve always preferred the flavor and control of charcoal cooking. As a longtime (self-proclaimed) BBQ enthusiast, I’ve owned and used several smokers and grills over the years, including an offset smoker from Oklahoma Joe's, a dual propane/charcoal unit from Member's Mark, and a Weber Smoky Mountain smoker from Weber. In fact, I’m in the process of giving them away because, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized I always come back to charcoal cooking. That’s why this concept really stands out to me. The combination of digital controls, auto-ignite, and a gravity-fed charcoal system from Masterbuilt seems like a true game changer. It offers the authentic charcoal experience I enjoy, with the convenience and consistency of modern technology.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my 545 grill for one year as well as several other grills and this grill is my absolute favorite!! From the auto igniter to the perfectly even cook and amazing coal and smoke flavor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this grill 10 months ago. I've smoked beef short ribs, brisket, and Pork Butt in this grill. I love using charcoal and the 545 does a great job maintaining temperature. I use the digital App to keep on eye the time and temp while smoking. I've been very pleased at the flavor and juicy texture of the finished product. If you are a first timer or smoking veteran, I highly recommend the 545 digital Charcoal Grill!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all I've had the Autoignite grill for a year got it for last Christmas and love it. I've cooked Thanksgiving turkey, steaks, smoke a roast. Pair it with your phone and it's takes it to a whole other level. Temp control is great no guessing it is the best grill I've ever owned. When the time comes I'm definitely getting another

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from a dual fuel combo to this and I absolutely love it. Versatile and easy to use. Temp control is easy from the app and the auto ignite just works every time. I've done 8 hour smoking sessions and quick grills for steaks or burgers. The storage underneath is big enough to hold everything I need, and the side shelf that folds up to save space is a great idea. Love this grill!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now I tell you one thing about this hands-down, the best smaller series grill/smoker Masterbuild out this one has cast iron inside the best edition automatic ignite huge space to smoke whatever you want

Bought this hoping for a real Swiss Army knife that could do everything fairly well. What I got was a surprisingly good smoker that’s pretty underwhelming at higher temps. Even an hour of pre-heating at 650 isn’t enough temp to create any real grill char on foods. It’ll get the job done eventually, but an hour of start up time just to throw some burgers on and have them come off looking like they were baked in an oven is kinda lame. Smokes better than a lot of much more expensive purpose built smokers I’ve used, though.

Grill construction/quality: Great 5/5 Design: 3/5 sloppy arrangement Digital features: 1/5 The great: the fan and sensors work perfectly. It's very good at hitting target temps quickly and staying consistent. However, the wifi software is horrible. It just assumes you have a 20 year old wifi router. It breaks on any newer router and you have to spend hours doing IT troubleshooting. Also expect the app to be "searching for software updates" every day since the day you buy it. Next, why did someone design the hopper dump to be right over the shelf? Hope you didn't store anything there that can't be covered in ash all the time. But that aside, just using the controls manually, it's a solid grill for the price and I get great results from it. They should just fire their software team and it'd be great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the 545 autoignite for almost a year. To date I've cooked over 100 different cooks on this and here's my take. I love the way it cooks and it has been able to turn out some amazing meat. But the downsides are plenty. Ash blowing into the food when you add charcoal. The ash container is way too small. LSS provides a larger ash collector (but why should they have too). Overall, it's a great grill and part time smoker. I like it enough to have two. But it's limited in my eyes to shorter cooks and not a good fit for longer cooks.
