    Home Depot is cooking something up with Kingsford

    I just aw this about 1.5 hrs ago at my local Home Depot.  Each pallet is marked "5/23 event", so something tells me that these 2x20lb bags are not going to be $19.97 come the 23rd.  I am thinking in the $8-$10 range, otherwise they would have not stocked up this much. Unfortunately, the people...

    Affordable Cooking Pellets

    I have been using Bear Mountain from Cash & Carry while I work to get my system dialed in, a 20lbs bag was on sale for about $10 when I picked them up.  I have a couple of bags of the GMG premium blend, but holding off for now.  I have a few dealers in my area that carry GMG, Lumberjack, Traeger...

    roll call on brands of pellet grill

    It sat in the box for three months before I had the chance to put it together.  I got it built and seasoned.  But I have been fighting mad temp differences on it since.   I did 1 cook, cause the meat was already sitting out and loaves of bread ready to bake (yes, did meat and bread at the same...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    The Jim Bowie, uses 240w for the first 20-30mins for start up, but then it drops to 60w after that to maintain the temps.   I have email with one of their sales reps, who stated that they use the Goal Zero 400watt Adventure kit (no longer sold).  From other pellet smoker web forums (not sure if...

    What's in the GMG Fruitwood Blend Pellets???

    I am not sure about using them in the AMPS, but as a GMG pellet smoker user, they do produce a nice subtle flavor.  I personally prefer the cherry pellets.

    Water pan in gmg

    I have a Jim Bowie as well with the same issues.  You can remove the baffle all together.  I did this and my sides are even with a +50 in the center.  I just received the left baffle from GMG and when that it is in place I can have the right baffle in and get the same even side side with +50 in...

    Tri-Tip

    I do about 3 tri-tips a month, both grilled and smoked.  I find the best way for me is to take it to 135-140, rest for about 10-15 mins, then slice.  If someone wants theirs a little more done I just put their slices on the grill for a quick cook up to well done (that is usually what they want),

    Finally set up my Green Mountain Jim Bowie

    Did you remove the plate over the firepit as well as the side plate. I lucked out and my dealer didn't have a JB with remote in stock so he gave me a standard version then mailed me a remote upgrade when they came in.  So now I have the remote control unit and the regular unit.  I am going to...

    Finally set up my Green Mountain Jim Bowie

    Dunno,  Cash and Carry had Bear Mountain for $9.81/bag so I used that for this.  We are planning a big BBQ once the rest of the backyard is finished, so I will switch to the GMG pellets then.  My wife was nice and bought me the vacuum that attaches to a 5 gallon bucket so I can vacuum out the...

    Finally set up my Green Mountain Jim Bowie

    After months of begging then followed by months of waiting I finally was able to set up my new grill.   I got the following package at an undisclosed price, but way below retail.  I am leaving it as undisclosed price as the dealer decided to focus on selling pellets only. Package included...
