Davy Crockett Smoker/Grill

[JEBar]

another day has passed, still no shipping update from FedEx .... they still say they will deliver our order day after tomorrow

[JEBar]

after we get back from some running around to take care of some odds and ends I hope to get started installing the new auger .... the YouTube video takes 7 minutes .... my bet is it will take me considerably longer ..

[JEBar]

as anticipated, it took me a lot longer than the video ---- in fact, just over 2 hours .... most of the difference was came with me having to label all of the wires so that I would be sure of plugging them back in correctly .... I also spent more time having to back track when I realized I'd pinched a wire when putting the hopper back on the grill .... it fired right up and am very happy with the way it burned .... as a test I put the pizza oven in to burn it off .... I must say that doing so was most impressive .... I set the smoker on 225 which brought the pizza oven to over 500 degrees .... our kids along with their kids are coming over tonight so Davy's first cook with be hotdogs and bratwurst

At least you were able to get this one going and not require factory assistance. Hope your evening grilling goes as it should

[Coach]

Glad to see it works!

You overcame all the hassles so now hopefully you will be able to just enjoy it.

tonight we cooked on our Davy Crockett grill for the first time .... burgers and brats .... they were really good ..

[JEBar]

just experimented with reheating a small, leftover portion of mac and cheese ....

things learned :

1. it took just under 20 minutes from the time the grill was turned on to settled where I sat it at 225 degrees

2. the food temp probe works well

3. once the food is cooked, the grill responds well to reducing the temp way down to where the food can be kept warm

4. with 15 minutes in the Davy Crockett Grill, the mac and cheese picked up a hint of a smoked flavor


so far, color me impressed

[Coach]

What temperature did you cook the burgers and brats?

How long ?

I have only slow cooked ribs, chops and game hens so far.

[Coach]

I forgot about the smoked salmon. It came out great.

[JEBar]

What temperature did you cook the burgers and brats?

300 degrees .... turned them at about 20 min .... from there kept checking, don't recall how long until they were done
