What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[QUOTE=yz9890;1934251]I was planning on getting a GMG Daniel Boone before spring. Is what happened to you common? I haven't read any reviews that indicated it was.


I'm switching from a traeger to a gmg Daniel Boone Actually bought the gmg on Black Friday because the retailer in lakewood was having a Black Friday sale. Daniel Boone wifi model for $499. Could not pass it up. Did a LOT of research before the purchase and the power supply problem is never mentioned. Uneven heat is mentioned, but also easy fixes for it. I'm waitimg for the weather to warm up before I assemble it and start cooking. As soon as I do, my traeger will be in the classified for 1/2 retail.

I haven't seen any other reports so I'd guess it was pretty uncommon. Regardless, they shipped out replacement parts promptly -- they should have arrived today (I'm out of town right now). I'd say buy your Daniel Boone with confidence. I like the product AND the company.

Regarding GMG and their customer service. In my extensive research I learned that they have absolutely fantastic customer service. Always helpful, get parts out fast and a lot of times they send it no charge when the grill is out of warranty. That was a big plus when deciding to switch from a Traeger. Don't get me wrong, I have had great service from Traeger and my smoker has been flawless. I'm switching brands because the price for the GMG was too good of a deal to pass up and it has a few more features that I liked.

I've got the Davy Crockett. It looks small but 1) I can take it on a picnic or camping trip and run it off the 12V DC socket on the truck, 2) I can smoke 3 racks of ribs or 15 pounds of bacon at once -- more than enough for my needs. I can't say enough good things about GMG.

The Boone WiFi model is on sale there for $729. In fact, their non-Wifi is $50 more than what that gent paid for the WiFi version.

This past weekend, SW had the Davy Crockett for $299 -- $100 off the normal price.

That's a pretty sweet deal too. Not sure it will fit my needs size-wise but it ticks all of the boxes otherwise. I guess I'll just have to keep my eye on things for a while and something will come up.
