    Flattop Griddle

    Thanks all, lot to think about. I kind of want a project, and I didn’t ever know about P and O steel. I really liked my few year old blackstone with a lid. I can’t find one used, so I’ll take a look at sales.

    Flattop Griddle

    I am thinking about building my own flattop griddle instead of buying a new Blackstone. Has anyone here done such a thing? I am thinking I can pop the rack out of my grill and drop in a custom built flattop, or do a standalone. I'm weary of cooking on a piece of sheet steel I buy from a steel...

    Griddle cleaning tips

    All good suggestions. Some I had done and some new ones. I experimented this morning before cooking bacon,I think a wet rag/paper towels on the hot surface is just what I need. I also found my wife’s dough cutter and that was flexible enough to conform to the slight warp and cleaned the bacon...

    Griddle cleaning tips

    Anyone have any tested and good griddled cleaning system that still keeps the seasoning? I have a wide Blackstone. I can’t scrape it clean like I want to because I think there’s a slight warping across the flattop. Any advice or maybe scraper recommendations?

    Brisket Cook

    The first brisket on my GMG was suppose to be a low and slow cook, but I somehow did a perfect hot and fast. It was good. I blamed the temp issues on the insulated blanket still being on it in June. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the problem. Last weekend I did another brisket, my solution was to...

    Do I want a pellet grill?

    I have a GMG and absolutely love it for this functionality. Will it get grill marks, not really/maybe a little. Will it heat up in 5 minutes, well no. But, unlike a gasser I can turn it on from my phone and let it preheat. And it makes a really nice smoky flavor that my whole family likes. And...

    Upcoming Holidays

    Denver Metro... What is a good/normal per pound price for Prime Ribeye Roast? And Prime Tenderloin Roast? In general are you getting a better price at a grocery store (in my case Safeway or King Soopers) than at Costco?

    Upcoming Holidays

    If I want to do a Rib Roast or Tenderloin for Christmas (maybe Thanksgiving) is now the time to buy? I'd be going to Costco, if that matters. General assumptions of course, but do prices go up that time of year?

    GMG Daniel Boone issues

    Have you ever checked the temp side to side since you made this tool? In my cook last weekend I got the temp perfect side to side. After I opened and closed the cover I could never get it to be close, eventually I was 100 degrees higher on the right side.

    GMG Daniel Boone issues

    Yeah, I still like mine enough to keep it. I haven't screwed up a pork butt yet. All the food has been awesome off of it. The pizza oven is one of the coolest cooking things I own. I'm currently thawing a twin pack of butts to do this weekend. I also have 2 air probes for a Thermoworks smoke...

    Pellet Exhaust Mod

    I may try that. That sub-forum has turned into one where someone has turned all the threads into why they should buy a Grilla Grills.

    Pellet Exhaust Mod

    GMC would be a auto manufacturer. Yeah, I couldn't imagine either, hence why I bought it. But left to right temp swings are significant. I have a heat shield to adjust, but it has little effect in my opinion. To add to that- the GMG is set up with the grill, 2 drip trays that are both a pain in...

    GMG Daniel Boone issues

    I am in the same boat. I picked the GMG over other options because of the pizza oven attachment. I'll deal with wifi not working and continue to mod the grill in a way to get the temp to equalize from left to right because of that pizza oven...

    Pellet Exhaust Mod

    I have a GMG that I can't get to equalize temperatures from the left to the right (exhaust) side. If I cut a hole on the left side over the hopper, add an exhaust pipe and add a baffle to make the area 1/2 the size on each of them, could I possibly get rid of my problem?

    Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett WIFI

    Agree with above. Make sure you call the right tech support line- one is for wifi/network and another is for the actual grill. Your manual has both phone numbers. Or do it over email. Clearly one Choice owner has already contradicted the message you got from GMG. If that doesn't work return it...
