Green Mountain Grills - Davy Crockett - Reverse Seared Ribeye

[@scamallite]

Love the cart for your DC. What do you have mounted to the cart to hold the feet? And how did you mount them?

[@alexkost1]

That cart for the smoker is sweet!

[@jeffwspencer]

I've used our Davey Crockett GMG every weekend for the last two months. One thing about the grill is that I have to regularly clean out the firebox (I use my fingers to pinch, or suck out with a Shopvac) and remove excess ash from the previous cook and then drop a few pellets in to have a consistent ignition. Might I ask how often do you clean out your firefox? I think I might make a video of this process myself --- not really a knock on the grill, it lights and heats up easy, and I've used it for a reverse sear ribeye myself, but I finish mine on the girll itself at 450 after a 2 hour smoke at 150 and then resting out while it heats up.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

JW Spencer I clean it out before every cook.

[@jeffwspencer]

@@MadHorseBBQ same. btw - GMG is coming out with a pizza attachment for the Davey Crockett before July.

[@jimbeardsley9336]

Really like the way you mounted the GMG to a cart. Would it be possible to get the cart dimensions and maybe a link on where one can be ordered?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

[@jimbeardsley9336]

Thank-you

[@js1465]

So do you keep the "foldable" legs off all the time? Or are they easy to pop on/off?

[@Mpike9268]

How loud is the auger? At least that's what I think that noise was when you initially showed the steak on the grill

[@MadHorseBBQ]

She loud. But it’s a dc motor so all the gmg augers sound like that now.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Love that Pellet a Grill! Awesome Sear!

[@markthomas2166]

I thought ONLY I could grill a superb bone-in ribeye! I NEED to add a portable smoker to my ultimate camping rig!

[@jeffwspencer]

I have this grill... and I highly recommend it as a portable DC powered grill. The flexibility, versatility, and utility it provides is well worth the purchase price of $350 USD.

[@purleybaker]

Great video. I don't have a pellet grill and have been looking. I want something small and currently the GMG Trek, successor to the Davy, is top of the list. Do you have any regrets with this grill four years later?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Well I sold it not long after this video cause issues I was having with it. So I don’t think I’d buy it again.

[@aegisman2003]

I just got one and smoked my first time ever. I''m very interested in the cart you added. Can you give some details on the cart, I'd like to get one for my Davy Crockett. Thank you

[@gizzyguzzi]

No. It seems he rarely responds to comments.

[@BabyBackManiac]

Very nice! That DC looks cool!

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Thanks Justin!

[@chrislin5861]

How would you compare the smoke flavor of the GMG compared to a nicer more expensive smoker? Also are there smoke settings or just temp settings?

[@maryrace2]

I like your set up , we’re did you get the metal cart??

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Thanks! And I got it from menaces but they discontinued it. If you have a harbor freight I think you can get one similar from them. 🍻

[@jonstone420]

Where did you get the cart? I just bought a Davey Crockett and I want a cart for it.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Jon Stone I got the cart from Menards. It’s discontinued there now.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Frederick Schiller can’t build one for cheaper than that.

[@organicvids]

Ive decided to buy davey crocket n add camp chef sear box to right side. Hope lid on sear box clears chimney on crockett. This would be best combo.

[@rberg]

Did it fit?

[@mllm1]

Great video! I love searing in cast iron. I do mine in my propane grill. Let the pan get super hot, you get that char all over and all the mess from splattering stays outside.

[@ailous626]

Is the auger noise considered normal? I just bought a davy yesterday and it seems super loud.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

adam soulia yep that is normal. I believe it’s that loud because it’s a 12VDC auger motor instead of a 120VAC.

[@petestube4098]

Just bought one too (not used it yet) and very worried about the auger noise. Is it going to upset me and my neighbours ??!

[@organicvids]

I wonder if you could use dynamat to inner housing of auger motor to quiet it? How hot does auger motor area get?

[@cryptosavy9716]

You can hear it up close. Won't bother the neighbors.

[@MrSergiogarcia85]

A Soulia normal bro

[@cookingwithwebby]

Looks fantastic

[@mitchyslicky5231]

Where did you get your "cart" you have your Davy Crockett on?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Mitchell Lemus got it from Menards

[@mitchyslicky5231]

@@MadHorseBBQ thank you for the quick reply! 😁 So I was on Menards website and didn't have any luck finding that cart. Do you know the brand or can you provide me more information so I can narrow it down better. Thank you again and loved watching this video. 👍👍

[@Chezfran]

I found the cart but Menard’s doesn’t ship to WA, at least not this cart. I picked a cart up for $49.99 at Harbor Freight and I’ll send a link once I actually get my GMG Davy Crockett and I know the cart will work.

[@romemd]

@@MadHorseBBQ This link no longer takes you to the cart just a blank page on Menards website.

[@bretlukas]

Great cook Brian. That little pellet grill seems to do the trick. Have you tried it on 12 volt, if yes how did it go ?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Bret KTM I tried it just for about a half hour. It worked just fine.

[@Sydneyybabby]

Where did you get your cart? i cant find one!

[@MadHorseBBQ]

I got it from Menards but they stopped selling it. Harbor freight sells similar ones that work though.

[@Sydneyybabby]

@@MadHorseBBQ thank you!!!!

[@SlickD217]

Wow that’s perfect!!!!! Great video

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Don toth thanks man!

[@chargriller6547]

Nice job Brian. Congrats on the Davy Crockett. I really like my DC. I think you will too. Can’t believe how many people stop by when I take it camping. It’s a crowd pleaser.Try the same cook with bone in pork chops. You will love the results.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Char Griller thanks and I definitely will!

[@chargriller6547]

BTW I highly recommend the upper rack for extra cooking space. You can find it on Amazon.

[@bretlukas]

How does it perform using 12 volt ?

[@chargriller6547]

Bret KTM It runs great off 12volt. I’ve used powered it thru my lighter adapter on my truck as well as connected directly to a battery. No problems.

[@MrSergiogarcia85]

What size are the end caps and where can I get those at? I have a cart but I need to lift it night for the drip bucket

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Sergio Garcia hmmm I think they were 2.5” but I don’t remember

[@fgschill4766]

What did you use as a baffle holding the spring feet?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Frederick Schiller I used end caps for copper pipe. I don’t remember what size.

[@fgschill4766]

@@MadHorseBBQ Thanks

[@arturoe3810]

Do you have a recipe for that and cooking instructions I’m new to smoking and would really love to try and make that ?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

arturo e pretty sure I ran the GMG at 180 till the ribeye hit an IT of about 110-115 and then seared both sides for about 2 minutes a side.

[@arturoe3810]

Mad Horse BBQ thank you so much for replying sir what kind of seasoning did you use ? You earned a subscriber

[@MadHorseBBQ]

arturo e I believe I used the McCormick’s brown sugar bourbon.

Gregory Burkhead haha it’s all good!! Pretty common question! Thanks

[@0404Fire]

is that normal the smoke goes out around the lid and not in the chimney? or is that closed?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

0404Fire that is normal.

[@CookinWithJames]

Soooo good brother! I hope you had a good 4th

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Cookin' With James thanks and you as well!!

[@loukolomatis1136]

Hey Brian! Damn your videos make me hungry. I noticed in another video you have the new maverick xr 50. My et 733 is starting to give me issues and I was wondering how it’s been for you so far? Keep up the awesome videos!

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Louis Kolomatis thanks! And the XR-50 is great but unfortunately I have a defective unit. On that note I believe they fixed the issue so I would highly recommend the XR-50.... 4 probes, 500ft range, and you can set alarms for each channel. The design and function is 👍👍.

[@loukolomatis1136]

Brian Horsman thanks or the info Brian much appreciated I between that and the smoke... thing with the smoke is only 2 probes... buy thermoworks is thermoworks I don’t know lol

[@jruss9109]

Get some lavalock seal around that door and some clamps!

[@MadHorseBBQ]

jruss nah. It’s never bothered me with pellet grills leaking smoke. And I sold this grill awhile back.

[@brad8066]

Can you share cart info?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Brad P i got it from menards but they don’t carry it anymore n

[@brad8066]

Mad Horse BBQ bummer, looks great. Thanks for the reply

[@hinds90]

Man that little guy puts off some smoke. Lol that one may not have a issue with smoke flavor

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Hinds15 haha ya she smokes like crazy!

[@organicvids]

Add a sear box to the grill.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Malach211 how would I go about doing that?

[@tokenfatfriend68]

I would probably try slicing with the knife instead of smashing the steak with the knife and accidentally cutting the meat.

[@mikebronc2902]

Have you ever heard to cut the meat against the grain?

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Haha ya I used to cut steaks all jacked up

[@mikebronc2902]

@@MadHorseBBQ it looked so good until I saw you cut it! My heart broke a little bit! Another thing I like to do is put some garlic rosemary and thyme in the pan with the butter. It just adds a little more yummy flavor

[@MadHorseBBQ]

@@mikebronc2902 haha ya you don’t catch me cutting meat that way anymore lol. And I need to do more of that! Thanks for the comment Mike! Have a great week! 🍻

[@wwfgumby]

Nice video and the steak looks great but that's not reverse searing. You sear first in the proper reverse process.

[@MadHorseBBQ]

Ian H ok. From all the videos I’ve watched and the research I’ve done a reverse sear is searing second. Should I be calling it something else?

[@wwfgumby]

Mad Horse BBQ Cheers mate. All BBQ is good and I think yours is a great result. I'd say it's just normal cooking, although there are so many different methods around there's no right or wrong way as long as the result is achieved. When I reverse I sear hard first to seal the outside and then slow cook through, basically the reverse of your method.It would be an interesting discussion on our BBQ Forum (smokefireandfood.com)

[@pwhsbuild]

Reverse sear is where the high temp sear is done at the end of the lower temp cook vs high temp sear at the beginning of the cook, then drop the temp for longer cook. Both ways work well, just different methods.
