I see a new portable grill on the GMG Website called the Trek. Is that going to replace the Davey Crockett or will both models be available? Does anyone know anything about this new offering?

I think they are just rebranding the names. The Jim Bowie Prime Plus is now the Peak Prime Plus along with a $30 price increase.

bbqLuv They can call them whatever they want, I am just glad I bought mine last weekend and avoided the price increase...

They are adding the Trek cart
Cart is all stainless steel and has a side tray along with an adjustable flip down front shelf.

But, my buddy Dave just bought a DC to use with his motorhome in the last month. Trek has some nice features over the DC, although the missing foldable legs might make moving the grill a two person operation, which was the easier way even withe foldable legs. The unit is cumbersome for 1 person, One of my sons (who was a dinner house pro chef, but can make more money selling cars) also has a DC, and both Dave and my son give good marks for tje DC, if you don't count schlepping it.
Lucky for me, Dave left for a 2 week jaunt to visit family, so I won't hear his take on the upgrade that he barely missed. But, if you know Dave, then you know that I will hear his opinion in a couple of weeks!
Very cool SS cart for the new Trek, but, looks like installation, and removal, of the grill and cart combo is again best done with 2 people. YMMVLast edited by zinfella; May 7, 2021, 01:14 PM.
