Question What is the best pellet smoker?

[Magua]

I don’t have the 350. I have the 300. Bought it when they first came out. I’ve had no problems with the other brands. I apologize. I don’t have an adapter on mine

@Jim in the asmoke website they say you can use any pellet and they make no mention of an adapter.

Same type of message for Green Mountain Grills. Just like selling printers, toners is the money maker. Pellets is probably a big revenue stream for these grill companies when you only buy a grill every X years.

 

[Gizmo]

I have a Green Mountain and a Traeger and both of them say to use their pellets because other brands are sub-standard quality.

 

[Jim]

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?

I have a Davey Crocket for the RV and Daniel Boone for home.

 

[J&JD]

Have the Daniel Boone at home, none in the coach. I had the igniter go bad a year or so after purchase. Called GMG and they sent me a replacement n/c. We have really enjoyed the unit.

@Jim re you looking for something to carry in the LADP? If yes you should talk to @CaptainGizmo as he has a buddy that owns quite the bbq store here in CA carrying just about every brand there is. I was looking at the GMG replacement for the Davy Crockett and the camp chef. Both excellent grills. I opted to stay with an existing gas grill that I already owned as that works best for us and having to carry it underneath. Lots of choices.

Good luck.

Had the GMG Davey Crockett in our Forester. Liked it so much we bought the Daniel Boone for the house. Never an issue with either one.

That said the setup etc of the Davey Crockett was a hassle for us so we recently replaced it with the Traeger Ranger. Little smaller than the Davey Crockett but have done a 10 lb brisket in it so, big enough. Runs a little different than the GMG but happy with the performance so far.

@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

Another brand I hear good things about is the grilla brand. Never owned one but I hear good things.

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

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.

Very nice we expect a full review after the weekend.
