our search for a replacement portable smoker/grill continues .... we've come across one most interesting accessory .... that being on that turns a Green Mountain Davy Crockett smoker grill into a pizza oven .... the best price I've found is on one from ebay where they say “THIS LISTING IS FOR OPEN BOX AT A REDUCED PRICE. Units May Have Cosmetic Flaws or Show Signs of Use. We guarantee 100% working order.”

https://www.ebay.com/itm/283682946960?c ... c-maincntr

cosmetic flaws on a gizmo that will be tucked inside a grill/smoker don't bother me at all

I dont have any kind of accessory like that for ours at home. I do have a pizza stone. Our pellet grill at home does a fine job with that cooking pizzas

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I've seen pizzas cooked on stone that is placed directly on the grills cooking grate .... one of things about how the Green Mountain Pizza Oven Attachment you remove the smokers cooking grate and other interior components .... the bottom of the attachment has a pipe that sticks directly into the burn chamber .... a setting of 250 degrees on the smoker will heat the pizza stone to 500 degrees like a professional pizza oven .... this makes it possible to cook a pizza in two and a half to three minutes

Smoked a 6 pound pork butt for Easter meal. Turned out very good.

in the second picture you show using 2 smoke tubes .... do you find that your Davy Crockett doesn't put out enough smoke on its own :?:

Being an old wood fired smoker type of guy doing it for over 45 years I find that none of the pellet grills give you enough smoke. They all seem to go in spurts of smoke and then a rather smokeless period after the pellets settle down. Now with the tubes it's like Good Texas Hill Country B-B-Q or even Bandera. Salmon ends up tasting like good Seattle real alder wood smoked salmon.

The convivence of the pellet grill along with the wi-fi can't be beat.... but it makes you lazy.

Looks Good Saga. I looked at those smoke tubes thinking of getting a couple for mine. Which ones did you get? Hope theres nothing wrong with being lazy cause I kinda like that disease anymore.

I bought a couple of the hex tubes to start with and then 2 of the square tubes. I find the square tubes light better and burn longer than the hex. I start them with a propane torch and let them really ignite. Next I bought a $7.00 hair dryer and use that to fan the flame/coals for a while. The secret is to have them really going good before you put them on the grill. They will burn about 5 or 6 hours. I like mesquite pellets for meat and alder pellets for salmon. I think about 70% more smoke flavor with these smoke tubes..
