    Product information

    The Masterbuilt AutoIgnite Series 545 Digital Charcoal Grill combines the incredible flavour of charcoal with modern grilling conveniences. This innovative barbecue grill allows you to experience authentic charcoal flavour with gas-like push-button ignition and precise temperature control.

    Authentic smoky flavour, modern convenience

    The Masterbuilt AutoIgnite Charcoal Grill lights charcoal easily with the push of a button using its QuickStart Auto-Ignition system. Simply load the hopper, press start, and the electric ignitor will light your charcoal or wood chunks for flavourful smoking or grilling for up to 8 hours on one load. The MiniHopper holds up to 2.25 kg of lump charcoal or 3 kg of briquettes. Once lit, the DigitalFan precisely maintains your target temperature between 120°C to 345°C. Set your desired temp on the digital control panel, or use the WIFI-enabled Masterbuilt app to monitor and adjust from anywhere. The app also provides session graphing and meat probe connectivity.

    Innovative design for efficient grilling

    This charcoal grill is thoughtfully designed for both function and space. The 545 square inch porcelain-coated cooking area provides ample room, while the multi-position warming rack keeps food warm as you cook. The unique FoldAway side shelves fold down when not in use. Other highlights include utility hooks for grilling tools, an easy-clean removable ash pan, durable cast iron grates, and an enclosed bottom cabinet for storage. The convenient QuickSear cast iron griddle plate lets you sear foods directly on the grill. Backed by a 2-year warranty, the AutoIgnite Series combines authentic charcoal flavour with high-tech grilling.

    Free 1 Man Delivery – For Full Details Please See Delivery Information

    Our "Free Delivery" is a one-man service. The goods will arrive on a lorry that is about the size of a fire engine. (Please let us know in advance if you have restricted access or other local issues that could affect delivery).

    The lorry has a tail lift that allows the driver to get the item(s) off the vehicle. The order will be packed and secured onto a pallet and the driver will have a pallet truck. He'll be able to wheel this as close as possible to your property. The pallet truck can only be wheeled over a finished surface so it's not possible to wheel it over a gravelled drive, steps, steep slopes for example. The pallets are normally about 1m wide so this is the minimum width gate they can fit through. Please note that the driver is not insured to unpack or carry the item(s) into your house.

    Fitting Kits and Liner Packs might arrive separately by courier delivery on the same day unless specified/requested in advance. An email confirmation will be sent if this is the case.

    If the goods are showing 48hr delivery, then this is the quickest time we're able to deliver these items (We do not deliver at weekends). You'll be asked to select a delivery date when purchasing the goods. Please note that if you live offshore these dates do not apply as it will take us slightly longer to get the goods to you and we will contact you directly.

    Please note that it is an all-day delivery service which is generally from 9 am – 6 pm Monday to Friday. Delivery Depots, if they have the facility, will text in advance but as the vans do multiple runs a day you might not receive a text until the afternoon if this service is available.

    Due to current pallet network pressures mainly due to driver shortages we cannot guarantee delivery on your chosen day but will do our best to communicate this as soon as we are made aware by the carriers.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT BOOK ANY CONTRACTORS, PLUMBER’S, OR FITTERS UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR GOODS AS UNEXPECTED DELAYS CAN OCCUR.

  • FAQs
    The inner lid looks beautiful but after a weekend of bbq-ing what is your recommendation on upkeep ?
    Question by: Derek on 24 May 2026, 17:17
    Hi Derek,

    The user manual does not specify anything for cleaning the inner lid. It does however give the below as part of the manufacturer's cleaning advice, some of which will be transferable:

    "Clean grill and cooking grates with mild dish detergent. Wipe outside of grill with a damp rag. DO NOT use oven cleaner or other cleaning agents. Make sure to dry thoroughly.

    • Wipe down with cooking oil to avoid rusting

    • Always cover and store grill in a protected DRY AREA. Store only when fire is out and all surfaces are cold.

    • When grill is not in frequent use, even when using a grill cover, remember to check your grill periodically to
    avoid possible rust and corrosion due to moisture buildup"
