    Green MTN daniel boone calibration adjustment from app

    Don't be afraid to play around with the calibration options in the app. They can be set back to zero easily. I don't have my Davey Crocketts anymore but the calibrations setting were exactly clear as I recall.

    My camp chef is a cold weather pellet whore: need advice on blanket

    Leaning towards using a Tillman welding blanket (no fibers). How important is it to wrap the upper part of the fire box? The Tillman blanket is only 3' x 3'

    My camp chef is a cold weather pellet whore: need advice on blanket

    I have the Camp Chef ZD from Dicks. It has 12 vents in the back, no chimney. The lid is thin and it really sucks the pellet in cold weather. If I use a welding blanket from Harbor Freight I will need to cut out a rectangle for the smoke vents. Will cutting the blanket release a bunch of...

    Camp Chef DLX Issues?

    During my first two cooks my CC SmokePro ZD from Dicks was running hotter than I would like. However, cooking chicken last night it was very close to set temps with minimal swings. Not sure if it was the warmer weather, vacuuming the ash pot or having food on it.

    Wheel modification Camp Chef

    Bought some 10" pneumatic tires at HF today. Couldn't bring myself to buy the solid tires. Too many bad reviews about them developing flat spots from prolonged sitting. If I fill tubes with slime can I expect them to hold air a lot longer? I'll keep the EMT tubing in mind for spacers but the...

    Wheel modification Camp Chef

    Thanks for the great advice! I think I'll buy four of these from Harbor Freight and then visit my local hardware store that has a huge selection of bin hardware. https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/solid-flat-free-tires/10-inch-x-2-1-2-half-inch-solid-rubber-tire-35459.html The...

    Wheel modification Camp Chef

    Anyone put pneumatic tires on their Camp Chef like this guy did on his Traeger? Is it just a simple as drilling the hopper side legs and inserting the threaded rod or should I put some metal sleeves for extra strength? Is the threaded rod really necessary or could I get away with just bolts...

    Camp Chef Smoke Pro ZD (PG24ZD) at Dicks

    At 17 degrees outside with little to no wind with the grill maxed out on high the controller it's struggling to get to 500 degrees. 475 degrees at the controller after about 30 minutes. Therm Pro showing as high as 550 degrees at the grate level and 496 degrees on the upper grate. Pretty...

    Camp Chef Smoke Pro ZD (PG24ZD) at Dicks

    Bought the ZD floor model tonight. It had some cosmetic issues so I stole it from the manager. Burning it in as I type this. This will be an ongoing review but so far it seems promising. Please keep in mind that this was a floor model so I can't compare it to one out of the box. Also I...

    Camp Chef Smoke Pro ZD (PG24ZD) at Dicks

    Thanks. I've tried but they are pretty clueless at this particular store. They didn't even know it was on sale. I'll just have to drive out there this evening and see for myself.

    Camp Chef Smoke Pro ZD (PG24ZD) at Dicks

    I have one of these on hold at my local Dicks. Haven't seen one in person and the Dicks isn't super close to me. Some inconsistent info on this grill. Hoping to hear from anyone that has laid eyes on one or better yet has some photos. Does it come with the controller that takes two meat...

    Rec Tech RT700 Ordered

    The cooking chamber on the Stampede is only 18ga. Pretty thin for a higher dollar pellet grill. Even the small trailblazer model has a 15ga chamber. Chamber on the Bull is 14ga. They all have 12ga lids. Hopefully Rec Tec will come out with a heavy duty grill that is smaller than the...

    Finally decided on Daniel Boone: a few questions

    OK. I know I'm an anal effer. Let me whittle it down. What are people's thoughts on the latest model Daniel Boone?
