Hello - New member here but not new to grilling/smoking. I've used Weber Smokey Mountain for couple years so far and just bought my first Pellet grill (Pit Boss Sportsman Portable - Or the Pit Stop from Walmart).
I've looked into a smaller pellet grill and almost pull the trigger on GMG Davy Crocket. But at the end switched to this PB since it will suite me better with 90% home use and 10% camping. (the GMG DC is too low on the ground).
I've also searched this forum (and other place) for more review on the model but couldn't find any. So look like I'll be a guinea pig for the gang on this one. :)
One more reason I picked PB is because of the reputation on direct flame. But so far it didn't impress me that much. I had a hard time reverse-seared a piece of ribeye last week. May be it's too cold (40F~) for the grill but I'd expect it to do better. Also since it's my first pellet I don't have any reference on what to expect either. So far I've done steak (reverse sear), grilled chicken legs, and baby back rib on it. The steak and grilled chicken are OK with the hope that it can sear better in summer. But the rib was pretty good. Temp control was quite stable @ 225F (+/- 10F) through out the entire 5 hours so I'll probably keep the grill at the moment.
Any other owner of the same model in the group? Please kindly share your experience too.
Happy Smoking!!
