Green Mountain Grills

[slammer]

Just picked up one of these and excited to use it. Going to try smoking a variety of meats and fish along with grilling anything. Anyone here have one? Interested in what you think of it and how you use it. I got 2 different flavors of pellets from the dealer I got it from. Is there one brand or flavor better than others? I heard the Treager pellets burn hotter. Feedback appreciated!

I have had mine for almost 2 years now.....Love it!!!!

I have found that I love the Lumberjack brand of pellets, Treager's leave way too much ash.....If you are going to use your GMG in the winter, get the cold weather grill jacket thing for it, I keep mine on all year long and find it really great at keeping the temps even during the warm months.

If you haven't gone to pelletheads, do so, a wealth of information is located there.

I also use an Amaz-n pellet smoker tube because I love the extra smoke in the smoker and driving my neighbors crazy with the smell as well....

I need to finally decide on how to add more shelf space, lots of ideas on pelletheads, just need to finally make the decision. now that it is colder out, I will probably smoke some cheese one of these cooler evenings, maybe Friday night....

i to picked one up this spring i went with a jim bowie and love it i have done ribs, wings, rib eyes, venison,beer can chicken and more,i can't tell any different flavor between pellets i tried gmg compation blend ,pit boss lumber jack in maple, cherry hickory,and like them all also went with a amaze smoke tube for added smoke flavor and they work great. the only thing with the grill is it takes sooo long to get to and hold the temp on start up/ and now trying to move the heat shields around i'm using all three ? any one have any tips on what works for you on these?

frostbite, have you adjusted the cap on your chimney? I forgot to raise it up this spring and I was having a bear of a time getting the temps to hold.....Also, is your drip pan covering the heat sensor? I have made that mistake as well. I run all three shields, never have had an issue unless it was the two mentioned above....

didn't smoke any cheese, but I noticed Cub was running a sale, definitely missed my chance friday and saturday nights....it was downright chilly

chimney is open about two inches and last i checked the drip pan was clear of heat probe and i punched a hole in the tin foil where the hole in the drip pan is but will double check thanks, do you have the jim bowie ? picks
