GMG Davy Crockett upgrade to GMG Trek
My first pellet grill. This is the updated upgraded Trek from the predecessor GMG Davy Crockett. The following are my impressions on the improvements:
1. The four legs for the unit are swapped out from the collapsable folding legs before. It is more more stable and I have tried the Davy Crockett and I prefer the stable legs of the Trek. Carrying the Trek is not difficult with the new configuration.
2. Apparently the control software has been upgraded, not sure what improvements there is there. To be determine I guess. But hopefully there is better wifi controls.
3. I opted for the Trek cart, which is sold separately. To be honest, with this new bells and whistle, I already run into the Jim Bowie price range. I am okay with it, cause I prefer to have the small unit.
4. The power plug. No need for a cordsafer. I am still mindful to place and plug in an area that no one traverses to prevent the cord from coming off the unit.
Important consideration:
a. All accessories for the Davy Crockett will work on the Trek. This is a plus since I do not need to wait for third parties to come out with new stuff for the Trek.
Speaking of accessories:
1a. The biggest accessory I got was the replacement grill from thebbqhq.com. The custom made grill is beefier and the second rack is far more sturdy. Saw it in a youtube review video and decided to pull the trigger on getting one myself.
Cons I need to address still:
a1. The biggest con with the GMG Trek and for that matter the davy crockett is the huge amount of smoke leak venting from the lids, when the fan is activated. I saw a mod video and will look into how practical his solutions are.
Overall, super happy with this grill. It is small in size compare to other smokers, but I wanted a small unit, I not planning on a huge cook for parties of 10 plus. Good buy for good eats. Thank you for reading my review. ciao.

Green Mountain Grill trek
When i first got it i was not used to it. I been using it for about 5 months works great did find some thing the lid doesnât seal all the way so i got some lid sealer or smoke strips and put around it and it works too keep the smoke in. I clean it on every 4 to 5 small burns and every big burn i have no issues.

Ignitor failure
I recently purchased this grill for our rv use. The grill is the perfect size for what we needed. The grill came without delay and was packaged very secure. The grill is an easy set up right out of the box. Once set up, the recommendation is too condition, or season the grill before use. The grill started and went through the necessary steps for proper operation, and was easily brought up to the 150 def temperature, then held the temp (350dgf) pretty solid; very little drift. After the seasoning (1/2 hr wait), the grill was shut down per the instruction, then powered off after the cooling period…all was good, and I was very happy with the purchase. That evening, I went to start the grill for dinner, and the grill went through the startup sequence. It stepped through all the necessary steps, but the igniter failed to operate. I went through the necessary trouble shooting and tried three more times to get the grill to ignite…it never did. There was no indication the igniter failed, other than the grill temperature never getting above ambient temp. As of now, I’m trying to get in contact with GMG to see if I can get a replacement igniter…all I’ve been able to accomplish is to leave a voice mail…. hopefully, I can get a replacement without purchasing it…
Update: I was contacted by GMG and they will be sending me a new igniter at no charge to me; along with a detailed instruction on how to replace the igniter. The gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and answered all my questions. looking forward to grilling!

Chose this over Treager and love it.
This smoker is fantastic! I was in the market for a smoker for my camper. I researched several brands and asked several of my friends about theirs. After looking for portables I liked the sizes of the treager, the camp chef, and the green mountain trek. My brother owns the small treager and says it will not hold temperatures well. The camp chef looks nice but is few hundred dollars more. I opted for the GMG Trek and It has been flawless. I have done up to 14 pound brisket (pictured), chickens, and ribs. This smoker is extremely efficient with its pellet use, holds temperatures +- 1degree, and uses the heat extremely well. It produces good smoke and I have had no trouble with the feeding mechanism, igniter, etc. The wi-fi works flawlessly and is a nice plus. I recommend this smoker for anyone wanting a small unit that is east to carry in your camper or RV.

Awesome Little Pellet Smoker!!!
Wanted something that was manageable to take to deer camp and the lake without having to lug around a huge smoker… This little unit fit the bill!! This is great for feeding a family of 4 very easily. It holds the desired/set temperature VERY well! It is very solid and the build quality is very good! Will hold 2 full racks of baby back ribs. Havent cooked anything else with it yet but if it cooks everything else as well as it does the ribs, you wont go wrong with this one… Can say enough about the build quality! Very nice to have something built so well these days as a lot of items we buy just does not have the quality it seems like! Not the case with this purchase! Great for a table top smoker!

WiFi donât work
Nice little smoker just wish the WiFi worked out of the box rather then needing a darn up date to software before it can be used. Shouldnât a new piece of equipment come preset with working software. Just saying.
