Full-time RVer here. I was in the competition bbq circuit for a while. Try putting your protein in a foil pan. You will keep your smoker clean, and you’ll never notice the difference.

[@purleybaker]

This is one of the best smoker reviews I've watched, and I've watched many. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Your comment about cleaning is spot on. I don't have a pellet grill yet-this one is top of the list and why I watched-but I use drip pans and clean all of my cookers every time either that day or the next so they are ready to go for the next cook. I never start a cook with grease from the old one.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Glad you like it! We wanted it to be thorough.

[@jacoboutdoors]

Great video, we love our smoke as well. We have the issue with the plug but we contacted GMG and they sent us a better cord. It has a better spring to hold in the plug. They also said to by pass the start up if it gets unplugged is to hit the on button to turn the smoker on. Then you hold the on and up button at the same time. They said the second start up will burn out the igniter faster.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Other than that issue, it's pretty great overall

We got our smoker a few weeks ago! We LOVE it. We use it almost everyday instead of the RV oven. Love that is barely takes any electricity since we boondock all the time. I even made a pie in it.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Yup, we carried that same smoker for a couple years and I really liked it. Diane on the other hand Diane does not like smoked meat and even when I BBQed at higher heat she claimed she could taste he smoke so I finally gave up and went with a 2 burner Camp Chef. I had fun with that smoker however, even made cakes in it. I loved that you could get he temp high enough o sear a steak, something you can't do in some smokers.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Yeah we love it, and thought it would be a cool video to make. Too bad she didn't like smoked meats! Thanks for watching.

[@chrisrobinson947]

Great video. We also have the GMG Davey crockett for our 5th wheel. We are not full time, but it comes with us on every trip and love the power options as well. I couldn't agree more about the power attachment being very sensitive but, like you, we have learned to deal with it. I have a Traeger Pro 780 for home and aside from a size difference, they are both great smokers. Thanks again for the videos!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hey thanks for watching, we would love to have something larger but its just not doable. Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@LivinginOurNow]

Great review, Jesse! I like that you guys have got a LOT of use out of your smoker and it's still kicking. We can't justify paying the Traeger costs, so this is certainly something that we're keeping an eye on. Thanks for sharing your insights! 👍 Aaron & Nicole

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks, guys. It's been a great little smoker! It has it's issues but we definitely still recommend it to friends!

Contrary to popular belief you can CLEAN the smoker ;-) I use the outdoor shower on our motorhome and a small spray bottle of diluted dish soap to clean it a couple of times a year. Makes a big difference in cleanliness. I agree the 12 plug is a PITA.

Oh nice little trick ill have to try that! Thanks!

For the plug, have you looked at the plugs used on trolling motors?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

I have not looked at that but I bought a quality cable off Amazon and it seems like it's solved the issue.

[@SrStew]

Swap out the outlet to an anderson connector, way more heavy duty and used for winches. It has a bolt mounting hole on the side to mount the connector to the back wall.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Yeah that would be a good idea, I wish these smokers came with something like that already.

Trying to take this camping with a battery any recommendations?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

It should work fine. We ran ours off our lion energy power pack before. They only pull a lot of power at startup

[@a7xkyl]

Just watched a video on this smoker and apparently the power chord is a common issue. You can contact Green Mountain and they apparently will send you a new and improved chord. It is just the 2 little metal wings on the plug in don't stick out enough. They make a new chord where those 2 wings stick out further which solves your power issues.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hey thanks for the tip, we bought a new one on Amazon and it's much better! Thanks for watching Kyle.

[@RichM3215]

Thank you for your review and video. I just picked up a GM Davy Crockett smoker at a garage sale that was in perfect condition. Saw your video while doing some research on the smoker. It looks like GMG sold the Davy Crockett with different types of drip pans. The one you have is a solid one piece without holes. The one that came with mine is a two piece with holes. I saw another video review and he had the two pieces. He said that if you want more smoke to line up the holes and if you want indirect cooking close off the holes. Do you or anyone else have thoughts on this? Thanks.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

That's awesome! So glad you enjoyed the video. I have not seen a model with the two-piece drip pan that you speak of. But allowing more smoke to come through would allow for smokier meat. We have not had any issue with ours whatsoever. The meat always has a great smoke ring and flavor. Thanks for watching, feel free to subscribe, it's free!

[@RichM3215]

Hello Jesse! I’ve been KETo for over 2 years now. When I see a possible new recipe I always try them out. I noticed in the video you where putting ribs on the smoker with, what I figure is brown erythritol. Have you posted that recipe somewhere?

No recipe it's swerve brown sugar! So yes erythriol.

[@sprayhawk808]

Appreciate this 'real world' review. Looking for something to take with us to round out the outdoor kitchen (Blackstone 17 is the only tool right now) and a small smoker is what I want. Looking at a Pit Boss 260 and the GMG Davy(or whatever they are calling it now). My need is for the smoker to fit below the rails of our truck (have a 5th wheel also, but the basement is full). When your Davy is in the bag - will it fit below the rails of your truck? My want is to be able to smoke more than 1 meat at a time - ribs and sausage or a small bird and ribs or whatever. With that neat shelf, I can see how multiple ribs is very doable, but if you were maxing out the surface area, how much meat could you get into it ?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hey we really like this smoker, we can fit 4 small racks of ribs if needed. Also I THINK it will fit under the bed rail but it will be close. Hopefully this helps.

[@a7xkyl]

Stay away from the Pit Boss tabletop version. It is half the price. It also caught the pellets in the hopper on fire and the entire unit caught on fire on my very first cook on it. Taking it back and spending the extra on Green Mountain.

Lol, fired mine up for first time tonight and definitely produces lots of smoke. When fan is in full gear it comes out several places and not just the chimney

I'm considering the Davy Crockett but one of my concerns is some of the negative reviews uneven heating. I guess heat along the sides can be much different than the center and because it is so small, trying to find a good sweet spot on the grill is difficult. What year/model is your grill and how does it do in terms of evenly cooking?

[@AdventureEndeavor]
