GMG Davy Crockett

[CandySueQ]

Last Saturday, I cooked beef tenderloin to pass out to the public at The Jack. My plan was to use the small Gateway Drum (BBQr's Delight logoed) to smoke half tenderloins then finish them off on the Davy. Well, it was cold, wet and the drum wasn't level. It did not perform so I ended up cutting steaks and cooking on the Davy. Jack Daniel's pellets of course!

The grill performed like a champ! The public loved steak bites! I despaired that I would ever get Davy clean again... Since it was borrowed, I'd convinced myself that I was likely replacing the grill for the owner. I started cleaning it out when I got home on Sunday. Vacuumed the hard bits and the fire pot. Scraped down sides and clean the deflectors and grates. Looks as good as when I borrowed it!

This is an amazing little pellet cooker. It weighs in at about 60 lbs. so it's not unmanageable. I may have to get me one!

Coincidentally, I was chatting with our local butcher/grocer about PG's when he mentioned that the original owner of GMG was the best man at his wedding. Says he's getting a pretty good deal on a DC (no doubt).

I need different friends...

Dan Deter , Keith at Mount Shasta Grocery. I got the story straight from Keith a bit ago and he says he was in Neil's wedding, but that you're all related. Small world.

Nice! How hot were you running the DC for those steaks?

[CandySueQ]

450!

You may want to check out the Rec Tec trailblazer too. Great little portable pellet grill.

You need to call Mark and tell him Grilla needs a little portable one.

Nope! GMG has the Davy on sale right now for $374. That'd be hard to beat. The DC behave quite differently than the DB! One couple in Lynchburg has both and he says he prefers the Davy Crockett.

If you get one, you might want to check out http://dongodkesdowndraft.com/downdrafts/ I must say that my pellet consumption has definitely been cut down on my DC since installing..

How does this mount? The How Does it Work on the website doesn't help me visualize this!

You have to take the chimney off (unscrew or if you get it before buying the gmg install along with the chimney, either way it's really painless)

Here are some pics.. The holes (on the downdraft) are lined up with the chimney holes
where you tighten on the outside.. While I'm at it, I do like the thermal blanket and second rack...
