Thanks Smokingpiney-----it really was a pretty easy cook. Much easier than my first cooks on the GMG, however, to be fair, I learned a lot on the GMG the last few weeks which helps with the BGE I am sure.
The one thing I have found so far with the Egg, is getting it to COOL DOWN if the temp...
Well...,,,I went on my own, and each performed exceptionally well.
First, GMG-DB
Fall off the bone. Incredibly good.
Big Green Egg
Like I said, both really good. Cooked identical.
250-265 for 3 hours, spritz with apple Juice every 30. Egg had apple juice in drip pan whole time as...
So long story short......I bought a Green Mountain Grill, and was not thrilled with it. I found a shop that sells Big Green Eggs and gives you a 30 day money back guarantee for any reason, so I pulled the trigger today and bought one with the plan to do a lot of side by side comparisons over...
Big Green Egg purchased today. I officially have a fleet of BBQ's now at the house. Going to do a rack of Ribs on the GMG and one on the BGE tomorrow and see the difference. based on everything I have no read and my experience with the GMG, I have a feeling I am going to be selling the GMG...
GMG has done a good job dealing with me. Very friendly on the phone. I just don't agree with not being able to try things out. That is on me for not asking that question when I bought it. For all I know, the temp issues I am having, really are just how these grills work.
The temp reading...
So I am going to ask a stupid question here....as this is something I absolutely want to try.......when I see things like this on the site, does it make a difference if I have a Pellet Grill--GMG-DB or an actual smoker to how I cook it? Would I follow the same guidelines on this recipe in this...
So the grill temps last night were even more off than the previous night.
Moved the heat shield more to the right in an effort to try and get the grill to be more evenly heated. Still had a 20 degree difference in most cases, it was just hotter on the Hopper Side this time.
Grill at...
Well.....GMG-CS has finally gotten back to me...and basically, their stance is, I own it. So even if you buy it, and are not happy with the product for whatever reason, the only way they will issue a refund, is if it is broken to a point that they can't fix it.
"if we are unable to fix the...
Thanks JC........unfortunately, one of the other issues I am having, is I can't get the grill to connect to the WiFi so I can do any updates. I have not had a chance to call that issue in to see if they can walk me through what the issue is and why it will not connect. I even rolled it all...
Ok. So the grill remained about 20-40 degrees below what the GMG stated. Right to left side also remained a constant 20 degree difference. That is concerning, but apparently, is going to be about finding the right location for the heat shield to disburse the heat correctly and evenly. It was...
Have everything up and running on the iGrill and I have to say I am very impressed. The app on the phone is very user friendly, and th einfo it is sending wil be used, no doubt about it.
Currently, it is measuring my grill. The Right side is consistently 15-20 degrees cooler than the Left...
Ok...going in for the Tri Tip Cook right now. So far, the Igrill is measuring at 20 degrees less than the GMG. The left side of the grill is also 12 degrees cooler than the right. I am going to do this cook using the temp from the iGrill2, and not the GMG and see how it turns out.
Shooting...
I give up....again.......we had a change of plans for dinner last night and the cook was complete disaster. Wife put together all the sides and produce in the house while I got the meat ready. Kids had to have taco's, yet I couldn't keep the ground turkey and taco seasoning from falling in...
I started the process of asking about a return........more than anything I am just curious to see what they will say at this point. I like the way the food is coming out, but at this point, two weeks old, and I have had a missing bolt in the leg, a new hopper fan, and now possibly a new plug...
I did burgers last night, and set it at 425.....ended up having to crank it up to 450. Had a huge temp difference of 50 degrees from the igrill2 vs the temp reading on the GMG-DB (igrill2 much lower), but I was using a food probe for ambient temp, and not an ambient probe(which should come in...
Wow.....I will to pass final judgement until I get the Ambient Probe tomorrow, but according to a food probe being used as an ambient probe, the iGrill2 says the grill temp is 380....the grill, GMG-DB says it is 425!!!! If this is accurate...the igrill2...then i know why my food is taking so...
