@Jim I had the Davey Crockett for over 3 years and loved it. When GMG came out with a stand for the Trek I decided to replace the DC

I leave the stand in Florida during our summer travels. Nice feature is the fire box is adjustable without taking it apart so you can get even cooking temperatures. Doesn’t travel as well as the Davey Crockett did

Who here thinks @NWIP should get a Daniel Boone (renamed to Ledge now) for his strip of paradise in Ft. Myers?

Our new Prime grills just got even better with the same great Prime features PLUS a collapsible front shelf, interior grill light, rotisserie enabled mounting and stronger reinforced grates. Our Prime models are built even smarter and stronger. 12V direct power design provides better temp...

Couldn't get any support on fixing the heat flux problem on my Asmoke, so I sent it back. Looking to replace it with either a Green Mountain or Traeger. I guess the Davy Crocket is the right one for an RV?

Jim,

I can help you out. I partnered with my friend @Ericrowley18 in 2012 to start theBBQHQ.com and he's taken off with it; carrying every major brand with the exception of Traeger.

We've tested all the small portables. Weight is an issue on the little guys. I really enjoyed the Camp Chef Pursuit and it fit into the bay of the Dutch Star nicely.

GMG is one FANTASTIC company for many reasons. I contracted with them to design their WiFi app and it's really been a great addition to their already great Prime series!

You can't go wrong with the TREK (that's the new Davey Crockett) if you have the space and can lift it!!

The cool thing about the GMG line is they've carried 12v power over to the larger grills, which allows the fan to be VARIABLE speed. Makes temp control a lot better than the AC versions of the past.

Please reach out to Eric at the shop and he'll get you all you need. Tell them Steve sent you from RVF

I guess the quest for a new BBQ/Smoker ended a few days ago when a Traeger Ranger showed up, complements of Amazon. Turns out, Trish has been wanting to surprise me with an anniversary gift, and she ordered the Traeger for me (us).

So it's not a Green Mountain, but it's still a very nice smoker, and it seemed to get positive reviews. I put it together last night and I think we'll initiate it this weekend.

Enjoy the new Treager. Have enjoyed ours since switching from the GMG Davey Crockett.

I picked up one of these for the Traeger and will probably get another for the Webber Q

What do you like better in the Traeger over the Dave Crockett?

 

[Jim]

Enjoy the new Treager.

Thank you, Dennis!

I did the burn in this morning and then put on a rack of ribs. Had to cut the rack in half to make them fit. The temp never varied more than 5 degrees up/down, and I find that to be very acceptable.

What do you like better in the Traeger over the Dave Crockett?

Ease of storage in a compartment and getting out, setting up. The GMG is a little awkward to get out and setup.

From a smoking perspective both work well from what I have done.

The GMG being taller does make chicken legs etc easier since I had a hanger for them. Could also use a second grate inside to have two layers of items being smoked.

Overall, with just the two of us (normally), the Traeger is working out well.
