Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone Review - Prime WiFi Pellet Grill 2020

[@dan0872]

Ive owened this model for 2 years. Great purchase, good quality. I would recommend and would buy again. ONLY 3 negatives: 1) window is 100% pointless since it turns black in a couple hours. 2) The vacuum suction tube becomes useless, you need to vacuum from the top of the chamber to actually clean it out. 3) paint is really starting to peel on the top half, still thick metal behind though. Recommend storing in garage, keeping the cover on outside wont cut it after a couple yrs.

[@nathelm]

If you are talking about the paint on the top half of the grill on the inside then it's not paint, is grease.

Hey I have a cooking class on how to make a roux and I found your video from 12 years ago and it was so helpful. Glad to see your still uploading on KZbin.

[@ChefTips]

Thanks!

[@brettbiddle7377]

Mate, you know how to do a review. Everyone else is doing fluff and palava! You get to the point and covered all the info. Well done. I have just ordered a DB GMG and have been binging on youtube presenters on this topic and you are leaving them for dead.

[@ChefTips]

Thank you! Enjoy your purchase.

[@trumpetdoty27]

Looking to buy my first grill and this had been recommended. Thanks for the great video and bringing confidence to my purchase I plan on making

[@ChefTips]

Glad I could help!

I have had more circuit boards in my Daniel Boone than I can count would have been ahead to buy another grill @200.00 a board

[@TrueisTrue]

Nice review. I have a GMG Daniel Boone and it has never worked properly. Ignitor issues, never kept a solid temp and now doesn't work at all. I would say buy anything but this brand at this point. Customer service is okay and thank goodness bc you will be using it.

[@stefaandesmedt3954]

same here, pretty much tried everything at this point, temp. goes up to 500, not shutting off, very very random problems, turns very rusty as well I found.

[@AFpaleoCon]

I have had one for two years and have never been impressed with it. The temperature control algorithm does not work and the app is absolute trash.

[@stefaandesmedt3954]

I bought one of these about a year ago, great grill but man you have to keep an eye on your temperature, the grill doesn't always shut of when it has reached your desired temp that you wanna work in.

[@oldmanfunky4909]

Sounds like an operator malfunction.

[@stefaandesmedt3954]

@@oldmanfunky4909 not sure what the operator has to do with the fan not shutting of when temp has reached...

[@tylerdickamore9918]

Well done video, thanks! I’m excited to try mine out for the first time!

[@marcallen1957]

You prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last couple of months :)

[@jakebrett3754]

@Marc Allen definitely, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

[@McFlysGarage]

I need to check these out. I want to upgrade from my kettle to a pellet smoker and if I can do pizza in it that’s a double win

[@ChefTips]

Hope you enjoy it! We sure have!

[@WeNeedChange3310]

This maybe a silly question, but i inherited this grill with no user manual. What is the green on and iff button fir under the probe hook ups?

[@jimjordan7647]

Turns the light on inside the grill

[@davidparker7156]

does the pizza oven make a difference over just using a pizza stone on the grill?

[@ChefTips]

Definitely!

[@davidparker7156]

@@ChefTips love to see a video showing the difference

[@buckyhill1124]

I am liking what I am seeing about the GM. Thanks for posting this.

[@ChefTips]

Thanks for commenting. This grill is awesome!

[@StoutBordeaux]

Great video👍 Im sold on that smoker

[@butlermj76]

Stupid question but do you have to have pellets in it if you want to grill only?

[@liviesshqZ]

Yes that’s the only heating source.

[@salder70]

I am really torn between buying a new guitar or a smoker. I think the GM smoker might have just one out. We have a few months of winter left for me to squirrel away some savings. Thank you for the review.

[@ChefTips]

You will love this grill! I should pick up the guitar again. I haven't played in years.

[@danemmerich6775]

Do you think the GMG is better than the Traeger? Or vice versa?

[@ChefTips]

I definitely like the GMG.

[@ToFinka96]

Hello, very good review. Thank you for sharing that with us. I wanted to ask you, it has been now year since you get this grill, after year of use how is it going?

[@rhino5551212]

Mine is almost 3 and runs like a champ. Window is useless though, it's smoked over in an hour.

[@gileswhitehead7437]

Great video

[@nringle809]

Love my JB Prime but that vacuum port is a good idea but does nothing. Tried it once and never again. Same with the lid window.

[@eddee607]

great review. let me ask a question - i read an article that said you could put seven racks of ribs on this grill - would that be factual. Seems like a stretch but i thought since you own it , you may give you perspective. Thanks

[@Rooz31]

You will need a shelf for that unless the ribs are very small

[@geckolawnsgardens3039]

Have they changed the fan on the new model so it’s not so loud?

[@ChefTips]

I believe they did, but not 100 percent sure.

[@jessicafigueroa1943]

Hello, is the pizza oven a separate item? If so where can I get that?

[@brendaspencer8577]

I have a request if possible. Could you guide me on making a pepper jelly. I have searched so many different recipes that I am tired of looking. I love the version of stonewall kitchens red pepper jelly over cream cheese. I understand if you can not I just thought I would ask.

[@ChefTips]

Sure! We make it all the time during the holidays!

[@wesstuff2751]

I bought a green mountain Danial boone top of the line grill just like yours except mine has more stainless steel and it is my third pellet smoker and I have 30 years experience with smokers so first off the window is worthless unless you plan on spending 45 minutes after every smoke to clean it with baking soda second and after 3 months of use the lid became warped from heat and let’s out to much smoke I also had to replace the cord as it went bad, the antenna won’t stay on and it won’t keep wi Fi 10 feet from high speed internet it is inconsistent on cooking heat and will ruin a brisket unless you plan on standing there the last 6 hours and a full cut USDA prime here where I live runs around 85 bucks and up so I am able to cook about every 3 perfect So I now only use this Danial Boone as a grill don’t buy it stay away there are other smokers way better for the money Oh and I have had mine for 3 years and it grills good but that’s all it’s good for not smoking low and slow

[@rczz]

Wes, appreciate the comment man. Would be some recs for low and slow pellet grills/smokers?

[@jamosbikeshop1872]

what is the best way to keep that glass transparent?

[@jimalfeld8875]

Clean it with a scotch Brit pad and water only

[@jimalfeld8875]

I found that a welding blanket is a good as less expensive alternative for the thermal blanket for in cold weather

[@slimshydrograffix6870]

The daniel boones I see on the GMG website say this is a 12volt unit??????

[@jimalfeld8875]

Yes there is an adapter to plug into 12 volt outlet

[@kevinkeller2876]

Yes for tailgate party’s

[@ChefTips]

Thank you LeAny!

[@harrywhalen3571]

I bought a Daniel Boone, nothing but trouble from the get go. No Smoke Stops midway thru cooking and temps don't stay steady or slowly decrease to nothing. I have cleaned, polished and even talked softly to it to no avail. Frankly with the amount invested you shouldn't have to deal with all the misgivings. I would rate it at junk. Total waste of time/money. Mine will end up on the curb no doubt.

[@markmichielson2226]

I've had my green mountain grill for 8 mos...yes...8 months..didn't make it a year..spend all that money and and its Easter Sunday..im responsible for cooking the Easter supper for the fam daily!!..and boy have preached the gmg...until the day when the whole family dam is here and im supposed to cookout for all!!!..AND IT WILL NOT FIRE...8 mos old and took care of it..its very embarrassing to preach something over 8 mos but when they are all here...I have to pull out my old weber charcoal..it doesn't fail..its either that..or we don't eat..either way..I LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT.

[@johnc6256]

It’s just the igniter you could’ve used a blow torch to start it and green mountain grill’s has great tech support over the phone

[@idealplumbingservice7943]

Green mountain grills are garbage. Paint peels easy since they paint over rusted metal, the head shied shifts because they haven’t figured out how to make it heat evenly, and they call it a “feature”instead. I owned one for a month and got rid of it. Incredibly bad heat spikes. Once you own it, you can’t return it for any reason.

[@cannedsoup2706]

change your name to hank

[@ChefTips]

Ha ha!

[@johnwaynebrooks]

Looks like a Traeger knockoff.

[@Androsmack]

Incorrect. Most of the features he’s talking about, Traeger copied them. In fairness, Traeger are the original pellet grills but these guys have been around a while too.
