I'd have had it out of the box within minutes and everything else could wait. Patience is not one of my strong points.

The DC is up and running. I am cooking some jerky using Noel's recipe with a few tweaks and changes. We are 2 hours in Here is a couple of photos for you to drool over The GMG DC assembled took me 5 minutes to put it together. I sat it on a table rather than on the legs this time  Jerky cooking smoked with Grape Vine pellets. Sitting on a frogmat from the Reject Shop for $3.00  I am super impressed with all aspects of it. Cheers Phil |

Your determined to nail that jerky arnt you  Looks good Phil, That little man with the hat is the wifi airial. If you have probs with range, stick a 29 dollar wifi extender somewhere in the house close to it. Something I have to do with mine as my man cave is at the opposite end of the house |

i wrote a post but it got wiped out before I posted it.
i am super impressed by the DC it took me about 5 minutes to assemble and 5 minutes to install and master the WIFI.
The jerky turned out great but the cooking was a little uneven. I have to look into that it took 8 minutes to get to 150f from pressing the power button. I have not timed it was o get to 550F. I used less than 1 Kg of pellets in 4 hours at 160 F.
Everyone will give you all the pros for it. Here are the cons-
sharp edges on the SS parts require rounding off.
heavier than expected.
2 people required to lift/transport safely
2 people required to extend the legs.
when standing on the legs you have to stoop down to access the cooking area.
however all that said it is an awesome BBQ, easy to use great results. Love the grill setup. About the same cooking area as the Q220. the WIFI adds a new dimension to cooking especially for long cooks.
i am selling my Traeger because it is too big and not needed now I have the DC.
It will be great in the Winnebago, I will just have to get Jill to help lift it.
i am going to make/buy a small low trolley with big wheels to move it around and sit iron at home. I have a table that I can use in the Winnebago. I can imagine how many people are going to stop and talk to me about it while I am cooking with it when travelling.the 12 volt lead that comes with it is extra long which is a plus.
cheers
phil

In my mind I already 'need' one. I'll have a play for a few weeks then I'm sure I'll be ordering one. It'll sit on the back on my ute nicely and run off the aux battery. I'll likely knock up a trolley for home also for it to sit on, and move around. It's about the weight of two bags of cement, so I should be able to lift it on off myself as long as its not an awkward shape to lift, though it looks ok, SWMBO will have to give me a hand otherwise! |

You will be able to lift it on your own using the legs which fold into handles. Liting iy up not the back on the ute is a high lift.
I am not as spry as I used to be so I will always get someone th help me lift things Ove 25 kg or awkward things.
No Problems running it from the cigarette socket.
You will order one after the first use. Being a long time user of pellet BBQs you only need the flavoured wood for low and slow and only for the first half of the cook. Once the outer temp of the meat reaches 140F it doesn't take much more smoke flavour. She cooking on high temps you get very little smoke flavour SH&G you can just use hardwood pellets. I get my hardwood BBQ pellets from pellet heaters in northern NSW at half the price of the flavoured pellets. I also mix them half and half some times depending on the cook. Don't use softwood pellets if you can help it.
There are a lot to f great recipes on the GMG website. I also have a lot of Traeger recipes that I have tweaked, unfortunately most are in my head. .
As Bentley would say, welcome to the dark side.
A GMG DC, + a Kettle/performer and a Q220 plus some planning, you should be able to cook for a big crowd.
Cheers and good luck
Phil

Yep I'm going to see Chris this weekend to have a chat. In my mind I've locked it in Say you wanted to smoke some chicken breasts, you would use flavour pellets only @ smoking temp? |

P.s. I think I'll be giving the 320 the flick, it's very handy but I feel the DC will be able to do everything I use the 320 for. That'll leave me with the Safire and kettle. All solid fuels yes, but I feel the DC is as Convenient to run as the 320, though maybe a little more $$

Don't flick the 320 yet, see how you go for a while. Gas for total fire ban days.
Smoke chicken breasts with apple pellets at 220f thighs are better. Brine the pieces first.
chicken is especially great after a brine soak for 5 hours. It remains moist. A combination of 1 hour smoke at 170F and a high heat grill for 4 - 6 minutes a side at 500F would be awesome. its on my list to do on the GMG DC
