Hey y'all! We are so excited to add this grill to our outdoor cooking gear! Since we filmed this, we've used our new Davy Crockett to cook chicken, pork, beef (even a small brisket!) and vegetables, and it's working out great so far! We're sure you'll be seeing it in future cooking videos! It's been easy to move, setup, use and clean. And the wi-fi has worked great even when we have been camping in places with very little signal. We really like it, and have added it to our Amazon storefront: amzn.to/35uhfSF .
Thank you so much for making/posting this video. I've been wondering if any RVer uses a smoker on the road. I would like to see some follow-up videos of how it is packing/storing along with the smoke affecting neighbors if at all.
I have several smokers myself. I love the set it and forget it aspect of my pellet smoker. Perfect temp and smoke every time. You could also try the small pit barrel smoker, that might work too.
I just bought a GMG Davy Crockett and did a video on it. I have used it every week since I got it. So far I have done ribs, brisket and even a ribeye steak. Everything has come out fantastic. This is a great little smoker you are going to love it. Definitely two thumbs up. Happy smoking, Lou.
Hey Lou! We are planning to watch your video tonight! Great to hear that you are enjoying your Davy Crockett. We look forward to seeing what all you cook with it. Happy smoking!
Yeah buddy ! Got my grills today cuz of YOU both! Crockett and Bowie! I'll prime them both tomorrow. You two are something I can't describe . Thank for tirelessly sharing your lives with the sometimes hard to please public! Xoxoxooo
@@patriot1902 I am very happy with it. The customer service team for gmg is outstanding. It is an efficient smoker. If I had to complain it would only be that it is heavey. (63lbs) but not the end of the world.
@@patriot1902 the built in handles help. You can set it up yourself somewhat a chor but doable. I have mine on top of a harbor freight tool chest. (A tip I got from many owners from youtube) you can wheel it around with ease if need be. That's the only drawback is the weight. Cheers!
I have used this smoker for 3+ years. It is a great addition to your rig. Excellent size - you can smoke a lot of meat and yet it still fits in our bays. I carry a regular grill as well, as this does take a bit to get to temp, but I have a 40' coach and the room for 2 grills. You will be the envy of the campground. I smoked chicken for the 4th, and had a half a dozen people stop by and chat about this smoker - including the campground owner. One thing that may help is to line the drip bucket and the plates under the grates with tin foil. Helps big time with clean-up. Enjoy!
Awesome! Glad to hear your experience with the Davy Crockett. We still have our little charcoal grill also and a single burner propane cooker. We may offload one of those ar some point. We’ll see. We bet the chicken turned out great! Thanks for the tip on the foil. We forgot to show that we did wrap the drip pan with foil and it definitely makes cleanup easy. Happy smoking!
Awesome Litl J! We love our Davy Crockett! We have a few more videos cooking with it: th-cam.com/video/CHjDxJuo_Pg/w-d-xo.html . It's a little workhorse. Enjoy!
Hows it work on steaks? We almost always make steaks and burgers on our R.V. trips. Im sure it rocks as a smoker but not sure how the indirect heat would work on something normal cooked hot and fast?
one thing I've found if you take a empty veggie can and put it into the bucket, you will save time and cleaning chore too. then when can is full you just throw it into the trash. if you use foil on the large drip shield it will also save your shield
This guy acts like a child in a candy store... Lucky!!! I can see your excitement and as I watch I can feel your excitement, (almost makes me feel like I got it) I'm Happy for you both. One day for me. Gotta get a couple of other things first, but you sold me on this. Thanks!
Glad to see you invested in a pellet smoker. You will not be disappointed with the cooking. I have a big Traeger at the house. Best smoker I’ve ever had. Suggestions: 1) Use HD aluminum foil to line your drip tray. It will make clean up so much easier. 2) Buy more drip buckets off Amazon. You will need them. 3) After you finish cooking and the unit cools, cover and store out of the weather. If you still have pellets in the hopper and feed tube, they will very quickly absorb moisture and dissolve. Leaving a wood paste which will dry out and become like concrete in the feed tube. Pain in the ass to clean. 4) Last but not least. The mfgr’s call these a grill. They are NOT!! They are smokers. Cook your everyday burgers and chicken breasts over lump charcoal. These are made for low and slow cooking. Welcome to the world of pellet smokers. Be advised, you will suddenly have friends in every campground you visit. Might become expensive for you. Tennessee Pal. (Master Outdoor Chef)
Awesome Paul! Thanks so much for all of the great tips! We are excited to be able to carry a smoker with us. We still have our little charcoal grill. We appreciate your advice on keeping charcoal. Thanks so much! We look forward to lots of great cooking!
Never owned a pellet grill ; but the versatility of this small & yet travel size / portability grill is a perfect size for camping on the go.. I think I would consider in getting one like this as my 1st pellet smoker instead getting a larger 1... I could keep this inside my home .. I also like the fact that u can either use it / setup on the legs / carry handle or just set it on the picnic table & have it rest on the small feet/legs that's provided...AWESOME cook.. I'll be checking out more of your videos & the different ways of cooking on the compact GMG DAVY CROCKETT ( DC )... 👍👍
This was a fun video. Star cracked me up around the 3:30 mark. He seen something in the rocks over there. He kept jumping. To cute. I LOVE that grill. The wifi and the app part blew my mind. Can't wait for the video on that. Burgers looked great! Nothing better than a nice cold Dr Pepper with it. :)
Great little smoker. I use the heck out of mine. But be aware it may run about 40-60 degree higher than the internal therm says. I run a separate girll therm to keep track. Makes a huge difference when smoking for 10-14 hrs. But I love everything else about it.
I looked at the Traeger Ranger Pellet Grill last year and ruled it out because of the weight. To me, adding nearly 60 lbs to the RV just to have a smoker was not worth it. I cook over a campfire a lot anyway. No power source needed for that. I think my son-in-law would love it for tailgating.
I have A Davey Crockett, also, I 've had it now for bout two yrs.. and I love it..enjoyed your video, first time seeing your channel.. T for Tenn....Go Vols.. Y'all be safe ,looking forward to more....
Welcome! We're glad you found us. Happy to hear that you love your Davy Crockett also. Here's a playlist of some of our other cooking videos in case you are interested: th-cam.com/video/CHjDxJuo_Pg/w-d-xo.html . We'll have another one coming out this Saturday.
you bought a monster smoker. I have a traeger tailgater thats about half that size. Love it, smoked food is the best. Keep up the good work love your channel. You guys are great!
I’ve had my Davy Crockett for five years now. You can tell I have the old one because it has the little cartoon guy on the hopper. I just did a video you can find on my channel of me restoring that 5 year old DC. Great video
That grill looks great! Wifi... wow that's cool! Those burgers looked tasty. Looking forward to more cooking on the channel. I couldn't help but wonder what Star was looking at in those rocks. Safe travels!
Hey Tom I like to use heavy duty aluminum foil on the drip pan and in the drip bucket so clean up is easy,when lining the drip pan make sure you don’t block the air flow.My self I use B&B pellets made here in Texas and can pick them up at some HEB’s. HAPPY BARBECUING...great video 👍
Hey Mark! Thanks! We forgot to mention that we wrapped the drip pan in foil and it did make clean up really easy. We do need to be careful though about not blocking airflow, and we never thought about lining the bucket. Thanks for the great tips!
Good thing you did not say where you were at. Tom might have to turn the grill back on and cook more of those burgers. I do like the size of that grill.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul! We love our Davy Crockett. In case you haven't seen them yet, we have a playlist of videos cooking with it: th-cam.com/video/CHjDxJuo_Pg/w-d-xo.html
Pellet grills are awesome! That Green Mountain looks perfect for RV living. We have a sticks and bricks version, different brand, and love it. Use ours for baking, too! Chocolate chip cookies, garlic bread, cornbread, pizza, all golden brown and tasty from the grill. Looking forward to seeing more of Tom’s Chuck Wagon! 😃
Oh gee I'd like one of those but skip the mustard, extra onions, light on the mayo and no jalapenos. WOW looked good to me. Glad to see your having fun. Thanks! Love y'all
I would suggest to add foil to the heat pan for easy clean up. I have the bigger version of the grill and I was told to do that and I was very happy with the results. Good luck cooking
I smoke a lot of foods. I have three hot smokers, two huge dedicated cold smokers and a smoke house. My best investment in smoking has been A-maze-n pellet smoker tubes. They're about $20 on Amazon. I don't even use my smoker boxes anymore because the tube smokers are much easier and do such a great job. For my smokehouse I built my own based on their design.
We just got the Davy Crockett. We plan on using it for weekend trips and our annual 3 week vacations. I also noticed you are geocachers. If you are ever up to Eastern Washington (the desert side of the state) we have a lot of caches in our area. We are also volunteers for our geocoin challenge. Send us a note and we can point out some good ones in our area. My geonick is badger10.
Awesome Raymond! Thanks so much. We’ve discovered some interesting places thru geocaching. Enjoy your Davy Crockett! We love ours. We have more Davy Crockett videos in our Camp Cooking Playlist in case you’re interested: th-cam.com/play/PL3vGBOkcBm2UY6lqfDwBryIn3UJT3r8kl.html
We have a large Green Mountain. Just a word of caution. Don't let the rain get to it, it makes the pellets get sticky and they gum up. Then you have to clean out the whole shebang to get it going again. The auger carrying the wood pellets into the cooker area even can get stuck. Otherwise, it's a great cooking machine.
Love my Davy Crockett grill. First pellet grill I bought. Still think I like it more then my Jim Bowie. Very versatile and capable of cooking anything you can think of.
I like the looks of that, Id have to carry it in my TV but that's how I carry my propane grill that's already falling apart. I wonder how many amp hours that pulls if your boondocking on solar only, no generators
This one seems really sturdy. It should last for a good long time. We keep it covered with a small tarp when it's on the table and we're not using it to protect it from weather.
Lol! I just bought one on Friday. I already made my award winning ribs. The temperature control is spot on. Good luck and let us know when the brisket is ready. Love your videos.
Hey Susan! The Davy Crockett is available on Amazon: amzn.to/32TCBsc . We really enjoy ours. You'll see it again in today's video. We powered it with our portable power station for the 4th of July. We have a playlist of cooking on it if you'd like to see more: th-cam.com/video/CHjDxJuo_Pg/w-d-xo.html
I just picked one up at Ace Hardware, smoking some turkey breasts right now with apple pellets, bought for a camper my wife are buying in a few months.
Oh man, Tom you're super likeable on camera and you seem like a fun guy. Most of the time on these longer then 10 minute videos I jump around but I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. About to watch your pork butt one next.
Wow, I’m SOLD. I have wanted to take my smoker to the mountains for years but I needed a trailer to haul it on. Mixing smoking and camping is a “Win-Win” experience. We are looking forward to Tom smoking the Pork Butt/Shoulder video. Thank you Tom and Stacie for the work you put in to these videos. Have two questions: 1) where can you buy the pellets; & 2). Is there a way to secure the smoker so that it is harder for someone to walk away with it? Bob & Linda
Hey Bob & Linda! We are loving this little smoker! Here's the Amazon link for the smoker: amzn.to/2G2OyiU . You can also get the pellets on Amazon through the Green Mountain Grills store: amzn.to/2JmAFya . We secure ours to the picnic table by running a heavy duty bicycle lock between the table and the handle that is on the side that holds the pellets. The handle would be really tough for someone to remove, so we feel like it is very secure.
RV Texas Y'all Thank You. Linda just ordered the smoker through your link. I had a third question that I forgot to ask earlier. Does the smoker get hot on the underside? I noticed that you were set up on an aluminum picnic table, concerned about it sitting on the wooden tables. Thanks should get the smoker by Thursday will take it with us to the mountains next month. Bob :)
@@bobcausey That is awesome Bob! Y'all will love it! Thanks for using our link! We have had no issue with heat underneath the smoker. Those little legs hold it up high enough that air can easily flow underneath.
the dollar store round "tupperware" containers fit nice in the drip bucket, easy clean up. Also if you can find that clear tubing with the webbing built in, (That was the type I found that was the correct diameter) by the foot from Ace Hardware, (home Depot and Lowes never had the right stuff), Buy a foot and cut it into four 3" pieces, and slide over the legs, and put at the bottom corners so if you set it on legs on cement or rocks, it won't scratch through the chrome and start rusting. Put the pieces in hot water to soften and they will slide right on. Getting it on and off the legs is easy for one person, once you get your technique down :-)
Don't think you are suppose to hit the power button to turn grill off. You are suppose to turn the temperature down to 150 and then hit the down arrow again. Then it goes through stages cooling down, that is what i was told.
Thank you for the video, We live close to Tomball and RV as well. My question is the storage preparations if any and when traveling do you store it in ur Jeep or Rv, if RV how are the clearances with in your storage bay? Jus curious, Thank you.
Hi Stuart! When we have it outside, we like to sit it on a table like we did in this video. After it cools down, we cover it with a tarp to protect it from the weather. (They also make a cover specifically for it, but we don't have one of those at this time.) When we travel, it rides in one of the basement storage bays of our RV. We don't have huge storage bays in our Breeze, so we made sure to measure before we got it to know that it would fit. We like to take it in and out of the bay while the RV slides are in since that makes it easier than working underneath the slide. Green Mountain Grills list the dimensions with the legs folded for storage as 20.5” H x 27.75” W x 17.5” D. The side tray that clips on rides inside the grill, and the drip bucket rides either inside the grill or in the hopper (if there is room). We keep the wifi antenna and power cord inside a sealed plastic tote while we travel. Here's the Amazon link in case you'd like more info: amzn.to/32RYMfb
Thank you!! Perfect!! My concern with any grill is the drip pan. I like the bucket, we have a treager grill at home and so use to the no brainer effect of Turing on and let it be approach that nowI want one for our coach. Thank you again!!
We haven't tried to run it off of a battery. It does use very little power according to the specifications. There is a discussion on this exact topic in the product Q&A on Amazon: amzn.to/2O9HPYK
I guess I'm really behind, I just watched this video. Would you please do an update on the pros and cons, with a one year review? What things went perfect and what not so good?
Great question Bruce. Yes, we left the legs/handles on the unit. We usually set it on a table top. But the handles/legs make it much easier to move around and set inside the RV's bay.
Very good review! I am wanting to get one of these! I live in UK, so the houses are quite close together. Is the smoke it produces, quite minimal? I am worried neighbours would complain about smoke
Hey Lance! Clean up was really easy. What we forgot to show was that we wrapped the inside drip pan in foil. That made cleanup super easy! We looked at mini eggs, but we weren't sure they would travel well. Thanks for sharing how you carry yours.
Thanks Gregory! The Davy Crockett is really efficient. We have filled it, cooked for 8 hours and not had to fill it again during that time. I like the Green Mountain Grill pellets, but you can use any brand. Our current favorites are the GMG Texas Blend: amzn.to/2NC564A followed by the GMG Fruitwood Blend: amzn.to/2Vo6nk7
@@rvamericayall o wow that's what I like to here u fill up and it last.. some I think I'm spending more money on a regular grill charcoal runs out fast and take long to reset.. u diff sold me on getting one .. lol thanks
Great question. Surprisingly, it doesn't get very hot underneath. I guess because it sits up a little bit on the little feet, it gets good airflow underneath. We've set it on concrete, wood and plastic picnic tables and have had absolutely zero issue.
Great video, and well put together. You mentioned one spot being hotter when cooking the burgers. Has this created an issue when cooking something larger, such as a brisket?
Great question Windell! We're still in the process of learning. I've been moving the food around while I learn more about how the grill cooks. I'll share more on how it cooks in future videos as I learn more.
Great video guys! You got me hooked... We're full-time rvers also, and I want to get a smoker to take with us but our basement compartments are rather small. So I'm really interested in this one but one of my favorite Cook's is a beer can chicken and they stand fairly high, is there enough room to do a beer can chicken in this Grill?
Now that looks like the ticket for RV grilling! Did Stacie eat the other four burgers? 😋 I would definitely recommend the 17" Blackstone griddle as well for things like bacon and eggs while traveling. I love cooking outside!

When the neighbors start lining up with their plates, you know you're doing something right!
Great video I’ve got one myself and I’ve found cooking at 225 gives it a very nice smoke flavor then you can turn the heat up to sear it off
Thanks for the tip!

Oh gee I'd like one of those but skip the mustard, extra onions, light on the mayo and no jalapenos. WOW looked good to me. Glad to see your having fun. Thanks! Love y'all
Hey Leann! It was really good. Sounds like a great combo. :)
I would suggest to add foil to the heat pan for easy clean up. I have the bigger version of the grill and I was told to do that and I was very happy with the results. Good luck cooking
Thanks so much!
@@rvamericayall no problem keep the videos coming. Yall enjoy
I just bought one today so exciting
Awesome Brandon! Enjoy!
I smoke a lot of foods. I have three hot smokers, two huge dedicated cold smokers and a smoke house. My best investment in smoking has been A-maze-n pellet smoker tubes. They're about $20 on Amazon. I don't even use my smoker boxes anymore because the tube smokers are much easier and do such a great job. For my smokehouse I built my own based on their design.
Thanks for the tip! Sounds like you have a very cool setup!
We just got the Davy Crockett. We plan on using it for weekend trips and our annual 3 week vacations. I also noticed you are geocachers. If you are ever up to Eastern Washington (the desert side of the state) we have a lot of caches in our area. We are also volunteers for our geocoin challenge. Send us a note and we can point out some good ones in our area. My geonick is badger10.
Awesome Raymond! Thanks so much. We’ve discovered some interesting places thru geocaching. Enjoy your Davy Crockett! We love ours. We have more Davy Crockett videos in our Camp Cooking Playlist in case you’re interested: th-cam.com/play/PL3vGBOkcBm2UY6lqfDwBryIn3UJT3r8kl.html
We have a large Green Mountain. Just a word of caution. Don't let the rain get to it, it makes the pellets get sticky and they gum up. Then you have to clean out the whole shebang to get it going again. The auger carrying the wood pellets into the cooker area even can get stuck. Otherwise, it's a great cooking machine.
Thanks for the tip, Linda! We appreciate it.
Just got one, will be using it this weekend
Awesome! Enjoy it Charles!
You've one of the best videos.
Thanks so much!
I have a REC TEC pellet grill. I have a big bull. Thinking about getting there mini love my bull. All stainless inside.
Nice!
Love my Davy Crockett grill. First pellet grill I bought. Still think I like it more then my Jim Bowie. Very versatile and capable of cooking anything you can think of.
We are loving it so far Carl! The versatility is a huge plus.
Thanks for the good tip. I'm going to look into it
You're welcome John! We are loving our Davy Crockett. Here's the Amazon listing where you can find more information about it: amzn.to/2xzSmnl .
Hi Guys: you two are adorable. Tom, you were like a little boy at Christmas with that grill. It really looks like a neat one. Enjoy!! 😁🐾❤️
Hey Judy! LOL! We are loving the grill so far!
Pellet grills are fantastic. Yours seems like an ideal set up for RVing. Enjoy years of grilling.
Thanks Patrick! It is working out GREAT for us!
you guys are very fun to watch! of course you have to start with Texas pellets!
Thanks Steve! Of course we do! 😂
enjoy looks like a great unit
We look forward to sharing future videos of how we use it. :)
I like the looks of that, Id have to carry it in my TV but that's how I carry my propane grill that's already falling apart. I wonder how many amp hours that pulls if your boondocking on solar only, no generators
This one seems really sturdy. It should last for a good long time. We keep it covered with a small tarp when it's on the table and we're not using it to protect it from weather.
Lol! I just bought one on Friday. I already made my award winning ribs. The temperature control is spot on. Good luck and let us know when the brisket is ready. Love your videos.
Awesome! We’d love to have some of those ribs! We are loving it so far. Thanks and enjoy your Davy Crockett!
I'm so happy with my grill thanks to ya' all! 🤠
Great to hear! 😁
Love the video. I never knew they made a portable pellet grill. ITS AWESOME!!!! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Richard! We are loving it so far! Here's an Amazon link if you'd like more information. We are so glad that we found it. amzn.to/2lbr2sy
just found this video wow i got to get one like this i following u all since way back just love your videos keep them coming
Hey Susan! The Davy Crockett is available on Amazon: amzn.to/32TCBsc . We really enjoy ours. You'll see it again in today's video. We powered it with our portable power station for the 4th of July. We have a playlist of cooking on it if you'd like to see more: th-cam.com/video/CHjDxJuo_Pg/w-d-xo.html
I just picked one up at Ace Hardware, smoking some turkey breasts right now with apple pellets, bought for a camper my wife are buying in a few months.
Awesome! How did those turkey breasts come out?
Excellent review
Thanks William!
Oh man, Tom you're super likeable on camera and you seem like a fun guy. Most of the time on these longer then 10 minute videos I jump around but I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. About to watch your pork butt one next.
Thanks Jess! Glad you enjoyed it, and hope you liked the pork butt video also. We'll have more in the future.
I’ve got the GMG Daniel Boone at home. Love it! I’ve been so impressed with their product and my dealer. So excited for y’all!!
Awesome Krissy! We are loving it so far!
Thanks for all the good info. Cant wait to get mine.
Thanks Jose! We love our Davy Crockett. If you haven't ordered yours yet, you can find more details on it here: amzn.to/2y64H6D .
Nice looking unit! I have one thats similar here at the house. Different brand. 120volt only. I think the hopper on yours is bigger.
We really like the flexibility to run off of 120volt or 12volt. We also like the size of both the hopper and cooking area.
@@rvamericayall When I bought new batteries for my RV i kept one for my GMG. I like having a separate battery for my GMG. Love it.
Wow, I’m SOLD. I have wanted to take my smoker to the mountains for years but I needed a trailer to haul it on. Mixing smoking and camping is a “Win-Win” experience. We are looking forward to Tom smoking the Pork Butt/Shoulder video. Thank you Tom and Stacie for the work you put in to these videos. Have two questions: 1) where can you buy the pellets; & 2). Is there a way to secure the smoker so that it is harder for someone to walk away with it? Bob & Linda
Hey Bob & Linda! We are loving this little smoker! Here's the Amazon link for the smoker: amzn.to/2G2OyiU . You can also get the pellets on Amazon through the Green Mountain Grills store: amzn.to/2JmAFya . We secure ours to the picnic table by running a heavy duty bicycle lock between the table and the handle that is on the side that holds the pellets. The handle would be really tough for someone to remove, so we feel like it is very secure.
RV Texas Y'all Thank You. Linda just ordered the smoker through your link. I had a third question that I forgot to ask earlier. Does the smoker get hot on the underside? I noticed that you were set up on an aluminum picnic table, concerned about it sitting on the wooden tables. Thanks should get the smoker by Thursday will take it with us to the mountains next month. Bob :)
@@bobcausey That is awesome Bob! Y'all will love it! Thanks for using our link! We have had no issue with heat underneath the smoker. Those little legs hold it up high enough that air can easily flow underneath.
the dollar store round "tupperware" containers fit nice in the drip bucket, easy clean up. Also if you can find that clear tubing with the webbing built in, (That was the type I found that was the correct diameter) by the foot from Ace Hardware, (home Depot and Lowes never had the right stuff), Buy a foot and cut it into four 3" pieces, and slide over the legs, and put at the bottom corners so if you set it on legs on cement or rocks, it won't scratch through the chrome and start rusting. Put the pieces in hot water to soften and they will slide right on. Getting it on and off the legs is easy for one person, once you get your technique down :-)
Thanks for the tips Jay!
When you're starting it up always have the lid open. Once the smoke clears you can close the lid.
Interesting. Thanks
Great way to store your pellets is to use a 5 gal. bucket. To clean our the ashes, is to use a shop vac or a bucket head
Thanks for the tips Richard!
Wow. Looks great BUT not sure if it will fit in my 25ft class C ??
Hi Rich. According to the GMG website, the dimensions when it the legs are folded up are: 20.5” H x 27.75” W x 17.5” D
Don't think you are suppose to hit the power button to turn grill off. You are suppose to turn the temperature down to 150 and then hit the down arrow again. Then it goes through stages cooling down, that is what i was told.
Thanks!
I'm looking forward to "Cooking with Tom", bring it on!
Glad to hear, Mark! Should be fun!
Nice review 👌
Thank you 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!
Great grill, that burger looks good
Thanks Sonia! They turned out great!
Great informative video… thank you
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you for the video, We live close to Tomball and RV as well. My question is the storage preparations if any and when traveling do you store it in ur Jeep or Rv, if RV how are the clearances with in your storage bay? Jus curious, Thank you.
Hi Stuart! When we have it outside, we like to sit it on a table like we did in this video. After it cools down, we cover it with a tarp to protect it from the weather. (They also make a cover specifically for it, but we don't have one of those at this time.) When we travel, it rides in one of the basement storage bays of our RV. We don't have huge storage bays in our Breeze, so we made sure to measure before we got it to know that it would fit. We like to take it in and out of the bay while the RV slides are in since that makes it easier than working underneath the slide. Green Mountain Grills list the dimensions with the legs folded for storage as 20.5” H x 27.75” W x 17.5” D. The side tray that clips on rides inside the grill, and the drip bucket rides either inside the grill or in the hopper (if there is room). We keep the wifi antenna and power cord inside a sealed plastic tote while we travel. Here's the Amazon link in case you'd like more info: amzn.to/32RYMfb
Thank you!! Perfect!! My concern with any grill is the drip pan. I like the bucket, we have a treager grill at home and so use to the no brainer effect of Turing on and let it be approach that nowI want one for our coach. Thank you again!!
@@ws56c62 You're welcome! We've been very happy with ours.
Tom’s Cooking Corner!
Love it Dave! :)
I wonder how much power it takes. Will it kill the battery?
We haven't tried to run it off of a battery. It does use very little power according to the specifications. There is a discussion on this exact topic in the product Q&A on Amazon: amzn.to/2O9HPYK
I guess I'm really behind, I just watched this video. Would you please do an update on the pros and cons, with a one year review? What things went perfect and what not so good?
Thanks for the suggestion David. Great idea.
Not sure if Y'all have seen yet but you can get a pizza oven for the pit also
We've seen it Steven. We don't have one, but we're considering picking one up.
Nice Grill! Good job!
Thanks Marie!
Have you left the fold down legs / handles on the unit?
Great question Bruce. Yes, we left the legs/handles on the unit. We usually set it on a table top. But the handles/legs make it much easier to move around and set inside the RV's bay.
Great now I'm hungry. Going to have to get up and make me a hamburger. Can't wait for the cooking with Tom segment.
😁 Should be fun, Fred! Enjoy that burger! 😋
Got to get one of these. Will be watching for your future cooking with Tom videos using this grill. No Catsup?
We are really loving it so far, Norman! Bet you’ll be seeing quite a bit of it in future videos. No catsup this time! 😋
Very good review! I am wanting to get one of these! I live in UK, so the houses are quite close together. Is the smoke it produces, quite minimal? I am worried neighbours would complain about smoke
Hi Daniel. Sometimes when it starts up, it lets off more smoke as it's coming up to temperature. When cooking, the smoke is typically very minimal.
Much love from Houston ......
Q. Are the legs removable for full time table top?
Thanks so much Carlos! Yes, you can remove the legs.
I bet some turkey come Thanksgiving would be delicious cooked Davey Crockett style!
We are looking forward to that Randall! 😋
Haven't tried pellets yet, still using lump. Have mini egg knock off that fits in shower. Nice vid showing mini pellet in action. How was clean up?
Hey Lance! Clean up was really easy. What we forgot to show was that we wrapped the inside drip pan in foil. That made cleanup super easy! We looked at mini eggs, but we weren't sure they would travel well. Thanks for sharing how you carry yours.
I see y'all have enough so I'll take mine 🍔 medium well 😃. Thanks guys for the demo on the little smoker/grill and looks like a nice easy unit to use!
You got it Ben! :) We are loving it so far.
Hey Tom, is your 3543 a 450 hp with turbo?
No, we have the 3343
Nice video .. Q: what's the best pellets brand to use and how much to put in there ..will it run out quick the wood
Thanks Gregory! The Davy Crockett is really efficient. We have filled it, cooked for 8 hours and not had to fill it again during that time. I like the Green Mountain Grill pellets, but you can use any brand. Our current favorites are the GMG Texas Blend: amzn.to/2NC564A followed by the GMG Fruitwood Blend: amzn.to/2Vo6nk7
@@rvamericayall o wow that's what I like to here u fill up and it last.. some I think I'm spending more money on a regular grill charcoal runs out fast and take long to reset.. u diff sold me on getting one .. lol thanks
Dang dude I just ordered one of those grills. I love burgers on the grill
love my smoker have been looking on how to travel with a smoker
We are really happy with this one so far, Allan! It has everything we were looking for.
We run our Traeger grill on batteries, but it didn't come with cables. We have to use an inverter.
It’s good to have that flexibility.
Nice video your the man
Thanks, I’m enjoying the grill!
How hot does it get underneath the grill? Would you be able to set it on a wood picnic table without using the folding legs?
Great question. Surprisingly, it doesn't get very hot underneath. I guess because it sits up a little bit on the little feet, it gets good airflow underneath. We've set it on concrete, wood and plastic picnic tables and have had absolutely zero issue.
Great video, and well put together. You mentioned one spot being hotter when cooking the burgers. Has this created an issue when cooking something larger, such as a brisket?
Great question Windell! We're still in the process of learning. I've been moving the food around while I learn more about how the grill cooks. I'll share more on how it cooks in future videos as I learn more.
Great video guys! You got me hooked... We're full-time rvers also, and I want to get a smoker to take with us but our basement compartments are rather small. So I'm really interested in this one but one of my favorite Cook's is a beer can chicken and they stand fairly high, is there enough room to do a beer can chicken in this Grill?
Thanks! We haven’t tried that, but we think there is enough room.
@@rvamericayall Barely. I did one. A smaller chicken is better
Looking forward to more "Cookimg With Tom."
Thanks Sandra! More on the way! :)
How about "Grillin' and Chillin' with Texas Tom", I really like that!
😁 That has a ring to it!
@@rvamericayall or just "Grillin' and Chillin' Y'all", works too...
Another good one! :)
shouldn't you have a sliding drip pan so you could grill?
Hi David, the older version of this smoker had a sliding drip pan. Our version does not.
Now that looks like the ticket for RV grilling! Did Stacie eat the other four burgers? 😋 I would definitely recommend the 17" Blackstone griddle as well for things like bacon and eggs while traveling. I love cooking outside!
Hey Greg! Thanks for the recommendation on the Blackstone. And LOL Stacie wasn't quite that hungry (almost, but not quite!) :)
