Masterbuilt Gravity Series� 560 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smok

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20151110-EDEBF-2147426842. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Masterbuilt Gravity Series� 560 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smok. Incident: I have a fairly new Masterbuilt 18in kettle bbq grill. Used maybe half dozen times. While moving the grill a few feet the handle broke off causing the grill to hit the ground throwing hot charcoal everywhere. It looks as if the hard plastic handle suffered heat stress at the point the screws held it in place. I was fortunate nobody was struck by the hot charcoal.

Product: Masterbuilt Gravity Series� 560 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smok (Masterbuilt Gravity Series� 560 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker). Incident: The product is the Masterbuilt Gravity Series� 560 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker. My mother warned me that hers (she has one as well) caught on fire due to a grease fire with no prior warning - I guess there was grease somewhere she couldn't see to clean. Tonight, I had the same thing happen. The grill started as usual, I went inside to prepare the meat, and then I saw smoke from the window. I checked on my phone and the grill was set for 450 degrees, but was reporting that it was around 650 degrees. I ran outside with a fire extinguisher, since flames were coming out of the back of the grill. Luckily, I did not have to use the fire extinguisher, but it was a worrying experience that this grill can catch on fire so quickly.
