    GMG help

    I was using a different probe, but it’s not a ambient temp probe. That’s probably throwing my data off. I ended up making the decision to pull the meat out and reset the deflector. It seems that is helping. I also cleaned the GMG probe. We will see how it does for the rest of the cook.

    GMG help

    I currently have a brisket on my DB Choice and have a question that I hope someone might have experience with already. I set it to 225 and set up a probe hovering over the edge of the brisket. The temp fluctuated as assumed 10-20ish degrees, but it fluctuates primarily between 240 and 250. I...

    Whiskey Barrel- Need advice

    The idea was originally to have a hot (225, maybe more) that was unique, looked cool and worked well. Now I have a pellet grill, so this has turned into a project I don't want to give up on. The thought has crossed my mind to make this a cold smoker...

    Whiskey Barrel- Need advice

    I've heard of pulling some water in them when not using them, but i have 2 issues there. 1. The gaps are too big, it would be a long process 2. I wasn't paying attention on one of my test smokes and lit the bottom of the barrel on fire. It happens. I cut out a circle from some plywood and...

    Whiskey Barrel- Need advice

    I built this last summer, but was never able to get the temp to stay low enough (I was hoping for 225-250). I think its getting too much air from the slats shrinking, but I'm not sure. Any advice?

    GMG Pizza Oven vs Traditional Wood Fired Oven

    I have never used a traditional oven (I saw some for sale that just do pizzas for over $2,000 though), but have cooked quite a few pizzas on my GMG oven. I love it, we rarely go out for pizza now-a-days. What I have learned so far: - Get a peel, I thought I could use a big spatula and I was...

    First Pellet - need advice

    I am in the same place as you and got a GMG DB. I bought mine in November, so the Prime was not an option. Regular wifi (Choice) is cool, Prime would be cooler. I wanted the wifi, I wanted the DB size and I wanted pellets, but the biggest reason I went with the GMG was the pizza oven accessory...

    Should I Pull the Trigger on Traeger Deal?

    I have not done the research, but have read a little (I don't consider Wikipedia research). I understood it that Traeger patented the concept of a pellet smoker, after the patent ran out others were able to build, develop and sell pellet grills. In my experience, rarely does a company get better...

    GMG Prime Series

    So what I bought a few months ago is now called the Choice, the new ones are the Prime. It looks like the changes consist of: - viewing windows on the cook chamber and the hopper - gets up to 550 instead of 500 - dual meat probes - new motor/heater that will get it up to temp faster and stay at...

    Pizza; use a stone/iron right on the grate????

    I highly recommend this for the GMG. I've used mine twice (4/5 pizzas) now, and have very little ambition to eat pizza any other way. That said, get a peel and expect failure for the first few. I have the cheese and sauce to where I like it, and have been experimenting with dough. My wife bought...

    Looking for suggestions sealing a GMG grill

    By adding that ~1/4 gasket around the edge you're probably throwing off your angles and lid seating throughout the lid radius. If you loosen the lid hinge bolts (or are they rivets that would need to be drilled and replaced with bolts?), slide the lid up slightly and secure you may have a better...

    GMG Base Modification

    It gets moved up and fits in the grill. The bottom of the oven fit right over the firebox, supposedly the stone can get up to 900 degrees F.

    GMG Base Modification

    I had a few issues with my GMG Daniel Boone's mobility so I made this over the weekend. I wanted to raise it 6", make a place to store the pizza oven when its not being used and make a shelf big enough for the drip pans and deflector. Fun project, very happy with it. If anyone wants to buy one...

    Boneless Ribeye Roast - Hints, Tips, Suggestions

    If I want to make an Au Jus is it advised to put a pan and rack under the roast? Like many, this is my first time doing this. Also, I am on strict orders to "not ruin Christmas".
