3 Years After Using GMG Green Mountain Grill Pellet Grill Pros & Cons!
video here! • 3 Years AFTER USING Gr...
I have had my GMG for a year now and have had a TON of fun smoking some meat on this thing! I wanted to review some of my pros / cons with you with my noob experience.
lets start out with the pros!
cooking size internally is a plus, large space! added rack helps cook more
The temp is spot on, never had issues with keeping a temp on the grill, and fire remains constant.
Buzzer when hopper is low is handy.
Once you know how to start it / turn off, its very easy.
Wifi version is nice! fun to be able to set temps on the fly, stop cooking Etc.
Can turn up the temp very high if needed.
Cooking book is really handy to get ideas and know internal temps of meats.
The smoked products have been amazing, I look forward to making my own meat for dinners / lunches, and great to entertain parties with!
fairly easy learning curve, youtube vids definitely help, like my first Tritip and brisket.
Having the cover is a nice plus, keeps the grill looking new and not weathered in my OR rain.
making meat then freezing the extras is a plus!
experimenting and trying new things is really easy.
Cons
While the Wifi version is nice, it is very confusing to set up, and to maintain.
Wifi only works if you are at the house, you cant adjust easily on the go.. it supposed to work, but often found connection issues.
Hot spots - my right side is definitely hotter than my left, could be my fault since I have the vents closed, but worth mentioning.
vent is nice option, but really its covered 99% of the time in foil for easier cleanup.
I have had the fire pit section over head a few times which made way too much smoke, i had to stop the grill and clear the pit and restart to fix. Could have been due to some pellets getting wet, again, user error.
We still kept our Weber Grill for quick hotdogs etc, since we are under time crunches when we make dinner, a gas grill is just ultimately faster, even if you can sear a steak on the GMG.
So last yr I gave reasons why i chose this unit over the Treager, and honestly, i love my GMG, I dont regret my choice at all, that said, if you got a Treager and you like for the same or difference reasons I like my GMG, leave a comment on why!
I look forward to making more stuff on my GMG, and and very happy with the product after 3 year.

[@QUiNTiNBANKS]

Good review

[@Atxbkpk]

I think the newer GMGs solved some of your cons. For example the app alerts you if the hopper alarm goes off. Setting up the WiFi into server mode when you need to leave the house is really simple to do. My biggest disagreement is the backing of the company. Every time I’ve emailed GMGs I get a response within hours and have shot rapid-fire emails back and forth to solve my issue. Amazing support.

[@THIRTYSIXBLACK]

GMG's customer support is amazing! I've had my Jim Bowie for about 6 years now. And even though it's out of warranty, they have sent me replacement parts free of charge and have always been prompt to return emails or phone calls. Great company.

[@KevinDusseau-lf1rg]

I checked out a lot of reviews when I started my search for a pellet grill/smoker. I bought the Green Mountain Grill Ledge, after about 10 months I bought the Green Mountain Grill Peak. I use both smokers when I cook. The slow cooks are done on the GMG Peak and cook things like baked beans (several variations) hasselback potatoes, corn on the cob and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. For me Green Mountain Grill is the way to go.

[@truongnguyenquang93]

We’ve had our Z Grill ZPG-450A pellet grill for a little over two weeks. kzbin.infoUgkx3c8DmtYRYEKYTiR4g7y6Yc2amUPVs_3X It was relatively easy to put together, with 2 of us. (friend and I)The grill seems well built and heavy duty. I followed the start-up directions, and then cooked chicken on it that evening. We’ve since cooked burgers, pork chops, meat loaf, and steak on the Z Grill and love it. I’ve used a hardwood mix (per my Son-in-Laws recommendation) and we are very happy. Like cooking in an outside oven with a nice smoky taste. This is a perfect size for the two of us, and would probably work fine for a small family also.All the things we have cooked have kept their moisture, and remained juicy. No burning on one side!My next challenge will be a brisket. We highly recommend the Z Grill 450A, so far. Hopefully they did get whatever “bugs” fixed from previous models (per the description on Amazon). I’ll update our review after a few months.

[@meals24u]

3 years ago I watched your review and liked it. It was part of what got me interested in Pellet Smokers.. Ended up going with a Traeger at that time and still love it! In fact.. Smoked some chicken legs on it today and then some Steaks right after and it was as good as the day I bought it!! 🤣🤣 Had a Gas and Charcoal Grill before, both of which have become absolute!! It is interesting though, my wife used to never like grilling on the propane grill, but since our Traeger, she uses it probably nearly as often as I do. I love coming home from work, getting out of the vehicle and smell the flavour pellets burning over some kind of meat… Always makes my day. And with the Traeger having just a simple dial, it is really fool proof. It’s sooo simple, turning on, set temp, and shut down, can’t mess it up, as long as you don’t unplug it! She used to never grill, and now she is constantly cooking all sorts of stuff for dinner on it. So from that little Traeger, I then expanded to a Pro34 cuz I got a “smoking” deal on it, and also invested in a Pitboss Vertical Pellet Smoker for the real “low n slow”. So currently I have those three Setups and each has its unique pros and cons. I like my Traegers, I like the Pitboss, however I do firmly believe the GMG is a premium and superior product over the Traeger and Pitboss both, and if I’d buy again, now more than ever I’d go with a Green Mountain. I only say that because multiple of my friends and family own GMG and I see their superior construction and design. I forgot how ugly the old GMG’s were lol, but the new Prime and Prime Plus, specially the Jim Bowie look super sexy and are a vast improvement over the original ones, from what I’m being told. So after seeing my best friends and fam enjoying theirs and watching them how they are performing etc, I am convinced they are better built, more robust. I also do like the higher dome design over the round barrel any day. It’s so much better for rotisserie, adding second shelf, etc. Also had an Austin XL 1100 for a while there, but I didn’t like that one! For now, my Traegers aren’t breaking down, they keep chugging and smoking along, so I’ll keep using them, after 3 years. But eventually it’ll be time to upgrade and for me, if it stays the same, it’ll be most likely a GMG. Unless I win a lottery, then Yoder it is 🤣🤣🤣 Great vid, thanks for sharing your experience as it helps many! Appreciated Now, as they say: “go smoke somethin…”

[@lukeo2508]

The GMG tech support, app support, and warranty response is excellent. I turned mine up for a long period of time and warped the drip tray, called support and had a new one in the mail two days later. The WiFi issue is an easy fix, it's just a specific order of how you connect and switch to "server mode" when you leave the house. It's tricky but literally takes two minutes for the app support team to walk you through.

[@royblack9060]

I feel the most important thing to compare between the GMG and Traeger is that when the GMG meets the temp that you set, the fan goes into a puff mode keeping the smoke in the chamber where as the Traeger that I had before I bought the GMG, when it reached temp the fan continued to plow at the same rate, pushing the smoke through the box. I feel that the GMG gets more smoke flavor into the meat than the Traegers I've used. If Traeger changed that design then maybe I'd try Traeger again. But I've had my GMG Jim Bowe for 3 years now and I love it. I used several times a week and I'd buy it again when this one wears out.

[@kiddynamite2700]

Had my GMG Daniel Boone for roughly 2 1/2 years. I use and abuse it and it has never had 1 issue ever. Love my GMG

[@rnjroz100]

I bought the same grill about 3 years ago too. I have had zero issues with it and have been very happy with it. I originally purchased it w/out the Wifi, but upgraded the controller about a year ago. I didn't have any issues with connecting the app, but you do need to upgrade the grill's firmware first. I'm going to assume that you've probably done that. If not, then just look up the video. I've only used the server mode once or twice and it worked fine. Again, just like you, we kept our gas grill. My wife would rather use that and it's obviously quicker to hop on there and grill then it is on virtually any pellet grill. I definitely would recommend the GMG for anyone looking at pellet grills in that price point.

[@markks2321]

I have had 3 GMGs. Loved every one of them, gave one to my daughter after 10 years of use. Only replaced the igniter during that time. Love my newest one. Bought one from a friend that had issues with it....good for smoking but has some sort of circuit board problem as it trips out when plugged in to gfci outlet. Over all a better unit than the light weight Traeger in my opinion!

[@ryanlee3853]

GMG is a great grill just bought mine 2 weeks ago. There's upgrades to the control panel which make it easier to use. Even my wife can use it!

[@Blackice978]

Us father not only like sneakers but LOVES our grill/smoker 😂

[@Tang-qi6zw]

For looking at temperature, I have to recommend the MEATER thermometer. It can connect to wi-fi or blu tooth and will send a push notification to your phone. It also has the USDA temperature and the good (medium, etc) temperatures automatically on it. This is better for people who can't have a grill, since they live in an apartment, so they have to oven roast/pan sear everything, or you already have a smoker, and don't want to buy a whole new smoker for that feature.

[@TheRiverRat96]

Went GMG route because for the price the treager still seemed cheap when I looked at them in stores.

[@MrJavatsar]

Those GMG grills have way better temperature control also compared to any other pellet grill out there, 150 degrees to 550 degrees, in 5 degree increments, digitally. Nobody else does that for the price tag of a GMG. Just an FYI. I've got the Davy Crockett, and it has been great for 5 years straight.

[@Steelviper61]

Exactly what I needed to know sir, Thank-You!

[@mikelambrecht7267]

I have the GMG Jim bowie. 3 years and I use it alot..ribs, brisket, pork butt.,tri,tip.bear can chicken..I really don't need any excuse and i buy my pellets at the woodshed..also us a great assortment of t Rubs as well pellets I Love My GMG

[@cclizarkb]

Im getting a Daniel Boone instead of the Traeger. I just purchased a Pitboss Pro series last February and that thing was the worst. I had to replace the motor twice, PLC board twice. The pellets burned through the auger to the pellet box and caught fire. I really hope this one is a winner.

[@gaylenstephenson1919]

The traeger you were comparing i currently own and its great. So much easier to start and shutdown and wifi works great. Also its only 699 when you go to costco for some reason they charge more online for it. That being said i just purchased the new gmg trek for on the go things but have yet to use it. Great video

[@shredead]

Can confirm the WiFi and server mode are difficult to set up. Was about to call customer service for assistance and finally pressed enough buttons to make it work. Startup has a learning curve as well. Other than that, no complaints, and the pros you mention far outweigh the cons. Would much rather support GMG over Traeger for reasons you mentioned (i.e., must use Traeger pellets is a huge turnoff and obviously not true).

[@kevinskogg2179]

Yes, it was not the best guide. But I did get there as well. The guides did help.

[@992turbos8]

Bought a treager 4 yrs ago had a couple of issues , Treager was difficult to deal with. I gave it away bought a GM Daniel Boone Prime Last year , GM stayed on the phone the entire time during setup including WiFi it was not difficult now it’s second nature.

[@gaw528]

Great video, you just answered me a few weeks ago on Twitter about your GMG., appreciate that! Glad to see the follow up video.

[@markdenney7977]

Hey! Thanks for this video! I am in Germany and was seriously looking at buying a Traeger, until I saw your first video "5 reasons to buy". Was great to see this video and that your GMG is still working for you! Like you, the big put off was having to buy pellets from Traeger! Anyway thanks again!

[@michaelshannon6846]

I have a Traeger 575 pro, it’s amazing! The WiFi is super easy to setup and use. Set it and forget it, put a brisket on in the morning, go on with my day, run errands and can monitor and adjust the temperature wherever I am.

[@heskicks]

Dope! I was stoked to see they added that functionality

[@marya4801]

I like these kinds of vids from you. Maybe you can do a recipe tutorial too! The seasoning on all those meats look delicious!

[@justinweaver7553]

Glad you got 3 years on yours, mine hasn't worked for 3 minutes. $1,000 Jim bowie prime that's dead on arrival. Hope I can return it

[@Hanos1987]

I don't use Traeger pellets in my Traeger. No big deal, I just bought a Jim Bowie Prime so no need to use Traeger regardless!

[@RFord2]

Traeger app works great. For long cooks it can be a life saver. If you’re running errands and the meat hits temp you can set it to keep warm until you get home.

[@AleTheDLT]

What if Nike made a bed of ZoomX? (I know it has nothing to do with the video but just a random thought)

[@johnambro1590]

Kept my propane grill too, but since getting GrillGrates for the GMG it sears like a beast set at only 400, and am getting rid of the propane grill.

[@djbone604]

Great update. I have the same GMG. I’ve experienced this problem = 2X fire box pellet overflow that snuffs out the flame mid-cook. Had to take it all apart & vac it out & restart cook. Anyone else had this? Otherwise, I share all your likes/dislike. (SIDE NOTE: I own a pair of Jordan OG Blue/Blacks from the 80’s that haven’t seen sun since mid-80s sitting in my closet)

[@1010bman]

If you want a portable pellet smoker. I have had both threw the traeger out. It would not hold the smoke mode. Green mnt. Holds temps also three different power source. I smoke baby back ribs while out on the lake fishing. Mmmmmmm!!!!

[@theronpoole7208]

Traeger WiFi works fine when your out and about. Use it all the time with ease.

[@thomaswatters8271]

I do have a treager smoker and have used different pellets in it. I have found it doesn't matter on brand just keep them dry. I'm looking at the green mountain smoker do the thikness of metal and where the location the fire box. I do have both pellet and gas grill it all depends on what is cooking from breads to meat, and the flavor that I want.

[@conradkostelecky7935]

Can you have to many cookers??? Thanks to a great program at work it has allowed me to get an XL Big Green Egg, Camp Chef Woodwind wifi the largest model with the side kick, pizza oven, grill box and griddle, the Davy Crockett by GMG which is great for camping, Masterbuilt gravity feed 1050, and a Weber 4 burner gasser. Still thinking about getting a stick burner though. They all have the pluses and minuses. Just get to know what they are.

[@Bobsansoucie]

If you can have too many cookers I hope that number is high, as I sit and look at my GMG DB prime, BGE XL, BGE mini max, MHO grill and Webber Q… (do I dare count my smaller Q, Weber Go Anywhere, and Volcano?

[@NoxiousNoodles]

Yeah but does it have boost?

[@ridinhigh276]

To use server mode you have to turn on your phone location function, prior to initiating server mode.

[@sharonkincaid6565]

Got same GM for my husband for Father’s Day three years ago. Fricking wifi thing never worked right but biggest gripe is the whole thing is rusted. Huge flakes inside and out and I kept it covered in winter. Guess I need to keep it in my garage. Irritating and very disappointed I have to refinish the whole thing.

[@dgresko]

I have the same one minus the WiFi. It's had 1 consistent problem...the right side is always hotter and will overcook anything if I don't rotate every couple of hours. It's annoying and I've tried everything to fix the issue.

[@Ikevideos1]

Mine has an adjustable heat shield that can be adjusted left or right. If yours has that it may be as simple as sliding the heat shield to even out the heat side to side.

[@billjonesnation]

My GMG Daniel Boone is 3.5 years old and I'm not happy. It is rusting really badly (probably manufacture defect). The probes are always breaking and have to be replaced. The WiFi was broken on delivery and had to be replaced. The new igniter I got is going bad and the BBQ does not start on the first try. Customer service is good but at this point I feel like taking mine to the dump and buying a traeger.

[@prestonhall4428]

Traeger is just as bad. Mine had all the same issues.

[@Ikevideos1]

I am curious if you use a cover or no cover when it is not in use and what region you live in. If you are in a wetter region like the pacific NW, I feel a cover is bad as it keeps the moisture in, increasing the rust rate. It may be better to air out to dry things up.

[@billjonesnation]

@@Ikevideos1 I agree with your comment about the cover keeping the moisture in. Im in Ontario, Canada. However, if I don't use the cover water will get into the WIFI system and destroy it along with the pellets. It's not the greatest design. I

[@shawncrittenden6216]

I bought my Jim Bowie w/WIFI for $799 (was miss-marked with the NON-WIFI price so they sold it to me if I bought it right then) I have found the WIFI feature is Just a Bell and Whistle, I never use it I only used it once....... It is hard to Cook something really wrong with one of these....... The main PROS too GMG for me are Down too 150 yea its only 10 degs but it makes a diff , and the GMG has much more headroom......

[@markgoswick4071]

The wifi on mine does the same!! If you don't have the wifi connected before cooking, then it won't let you connect at all. I have had a bunch of issues with mine. I wish I would have bought a green egg instead!!!

Contact GMG customer service. They are great and will help you out, and will likely send you replacement part(s) for free since it is so new. Had mine 3 years and old problem I've had is the igniter when bad and I replaced it for about $14 and now working great.

Don't buy GMG. Grill paint started peeling. Auger stopped working. Contacted them and they just say BS. It's out of stock. They won't replace it or sell me it. It's been 7 months. I contacted them and they stopped replying.

[@AFpaleoCon]

I’ll tell you the biggest con of these grills. Their temperature control, regulation, and accuracy is way off. The internal grill sensor and the probes can be +-50 degrees from truth and within different areas of the grill. It’s very amateurish and they’ve never done anything about it. You will NOT be smoking your food at the temp everyone you see online is talking about and you will get poor results and not know why. I’m telling you the reason is because your temperature is way different than what you think. Also, the seal between the lid and the body is very poor so you will be wasting a lot of smoke.

[@jonathanmartinez4333]

Does the heat spread evenly ???
