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.

Not a sneaker vid today but a follow up to a vid I made 3 years ago! Have a good and safe 4th everyone!
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.
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.
We’ve had our Z Grill ZPG-450A pellet grill for a little over two weeks.
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.
Great video, you just answered me a few weeks ago on Twitter about your GMG., appreciate that! Glad to see the follow up video.
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.
3 years ago I watched your review and liked it. It was part of what got me interested in Pellet Smokers..
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".
I like these kinds of vids from you. Maybe you can do a recipe tutorial too! The seasoning on all those meats look delicious!
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Us father not only like sneakers but LOVES our grill/smoker 😂
You should know what we use on the Philippines
Does it fit true to size or should we size up/down?
When is the release date, do you see any resale potential besides it being fire personals?
