    I should change this thread title to the venture of a new pellet cooker all the way into some recipes until success so everyone new and learn from all of my mistakes and learning curves!!!!!! Tonight, Chicken Wings. Simple but a big deal, as the chicken wing is a very popular dinner in this...

    IDevice IGrill2 Thermometer

    Just ordered mine...paid more than I am seeing here, but I wanted it by tomorrow for  a Sunday Cook.........can't wait to see the difference between this and the readings on the GMG-DB.  Wonderful thing about Amazon...I could  always use it tomorrow, send it back, then use  the links I just...

    Did filets tonight. Meat turned out perfect thanks to patience. Did 425 and it took almost 20 minutes to get to medium rare, so I definitely think you guys are right about it being low on the reading. Do not recommend the GMG meat rub. Put it on the filets and it was not very good IMO, but...

    Ok...Kudos to GMG and their customer service.   Just got off the phone with Eric and we had a great conversation and some things to look for/do.  The little  things that he recommended changing right away, is to take the heat shield and slide it to the right as much as  possible.  He said a lot...

    Thanks  JC.  I  just have to be more patient.  I am so eager to have great new tasting food and have to realize, it is going to take a bit to get the hang of it.   Heck, after 5 days and some trial and error, I already now know how to make Ribs---Cook longer at 225-250, Chicken--Less Salt in the...

    LOL After sending an email to GMG about return policies, I gave up on their stupid food therm and cranked the temp up to 375 for 20 minutes a side. Everything turned out really good. Meat a little over cooked, but what I have learned this far, is forget about these stupid recipes. Nothing has...

    I'm fed up with this thing. I don't think anything is even working. Can't get the food therm to work worth a damn. Says my meat is already a 130. Can't stick it in a fatter piece of the tip. I don't even think the damn temp on the grill is right at this point. So ready to be done with it...

    Ok. 640pm. Tip put on grill at 225. Current meat reading at 69. Potatoes in the touch test don't feel anywhere close to being done after sitting I there at 350 for an hour, so I am definitely not worried about those over cooking while waiting on the meat. Any ideas how long I can expect?

    I'm playing it safe tonight. Tri tip marinated from the butcher that we like, baked potatoes-yes, they are on the grill already, and some green beans and pasta for the kiddos. Oh...and a sweet onion..whole onion with a cube of butter and seasoned pepper. Cook as long as you want. Always gets...

    The meat was perfect....... The plate looked good.... It was just a tad salty. So either I did too much salt in the brine...18 cups of water and 1 1/4 cup sea salt....or too much rub that ended up being salty. It was just simply too salty. Seasoning is always going to be my challenge. I...

    Just cheated and checked the chicken since it hit 150. Skin is already nice and crispy with a good look to her. Seems to be coming along just fine!! Does that temp probe look to be in a good spot?

    Thanks.  It has seemed to slow down quite a bit. To bad many newbies like me will never get to this thread....it has taken a life of its own that is proving to be extremely helpful to me!!!! Thanks again....I really appreciate you all making me look good in front of my wife!  Will send some...

    I am paranoid.......seems like the temp on the chicken is racing up much faster than it should.  It's been on the grill for about 30 minutes or so and it is already at 120.  Is it safe to say the temp is going to slow down as it gets closer to the end desired temp?

    One beaf I have with the GMG....the Wifi Range SUCKS.  My grill is not that far from the signal, and I can't get it to connect, so I can't use the handy dandy app.

    I brined it overnight just with water and salt.  Pulled it out today at about 3:30, per another posts recommendation towards crispy skin desires, hit it with the hair dryer for a few minutes to dry out the skin some.  Put Pappy's Rub all over the outside and just put it on the GMG right now...
