" ... Great grill, easy to use. ... "
" ... Love this grill ... "
" ... My first "pellet grill/smoker" and by far the best grill/smoker I have ever owned. ... I have cooked on this grill more than any other I have owned. ... "
" ... I have had no issues with anything on the grill. ... I had a more expensive Traeger grill in the past and I bay far like this one better. ... "
" ... awesome grill for home or camping. ... "
" ... Overall the grill itself is great and I love it being so portable. ... "
" ... This is a good sturdy grill and we enjoy using it. ... "
" ... We use this like an oven. ... Set the grill to 325 or so like we would the conventional oven and set the timer. ... It is a great smaller grill for say a family of 4. ... I don't even have to go outside to light the grill anymore . ... "

" ... The Green Mountain Davy Crockett smoker is so portable and easy to cook on and the food is unbelievable if you're looking for a portable smoker this is the one ... "
" ... I really don't need a big cooking area as it is usually just the wife and I but when the kids came over for mothers day we did 3 racks of baby backs with no problem. ... "
" ... I use it a lot, grilling steaks, burgers, chicken, and even made a couple batches of jerky. ... "
" ... A must have for everyone who loves BBQ and smoked meat. ... "
" ... Since getting it, every kind of meat we have cooked has been on it. ... The meat probe has been very helpful in getting the correct cooking temperature every time. ... "
" ... But do you really want to trust your expensive holiday roast to luck? ... "
" ... Cooked a 10 lb chicken in 80 mins after smoking for 4 hours, flavor was fantastic, just use food probe, takes guess work out of cooking. ... "
" ... We've smoked chicken, burgers and a pork shoulder all which have turned out delicious. ... "

" ... It is also rather difficult to set up, the legs a really weird and the springy legs on the bottom, welI just can't explain it. ... very heavy on the auger side and once it is is full of pellets, beware, it wants to tip over. ... "
" ... Rust all around where cover contacts shell. ... Rust all over right side of shell. ... "
" ... Ribs were ruined. ... Folding legs are a little clunky. ... "
" ... Used once, broken. ... "
" ... The GMG Davy Crocket has similar poor construction (thin metal, crappy hinges, bad leg structure) and horrible performance. ... "
" ... The book started to fall apart before I even got the grill burned in for the first time. ... The legs are somewhat unsteady and the unit will wobble if bumped. ... "
" ... The bucket is problematic, there is just a little lip of metal to hang it on, and it will fall off at the slightest bump. ... It didn't quite fit between the handles, so I used some old wood decking bits to put under the feet. ... "
" ... I reached out to Pellethead and they said that GMG recently made the switch to the solid piece but has yet to update the item description. ... "

" ... Can use as a smoker for long time cook using smoke or grilling steaks using the high heat for searing. ... "
" ... It heats up rapidly and is not too much of a fuel hog - 20lb pellet hopper was good for about 8 hours at 225. ... "
" ... During a power outage we used it for most of our meals for cooking and heating. ... Since there is zero insulation, we are considering buying the optional thermal blanket kit since using it in the winter means lots of the heat is lost to the air meaning more pellet consumption. ... "
" ... You can grill and smoke foods. ... "
" ... The food we have made with it has been very good. ... "
" ... It heats quickly and evenly as well. ... "
" ... Story a success, food cooked. ... "
