They came out great.

165 is the done temp. I actually let them cook a little longer and when I checked them again they were at 190.

Thought maybe they might be dry but they were juicy and delicious.

180 for 3 hours

225 for 2 hours in foil.

Back to 180 for 30-60 minutes while spritzing and then finally the last 15-20 minutes with bbq sauce.

I'm happy to report that following the replacement of the auger assembly and electronic control panel our Davy Crockett smoker/grill is proving to be an exceptional .... no big swings in temp .... compared to our former portable smoker, its operation is much quieter .... a major plus is it burns much cleaner so it needs to be cleaned much less often .... the attachments from Pimp My Grill and Green Mountain Grills all work flawlessly ....

since the update above on the 9th, frustration has pretty much been the norm .... Davy's performance has been maddeningly erratic .... the folks at Green Mountain Grills have been great to work with and have proven to be committed to service after the sale .... we are now on our 3rd electronic control ===> https://pellet-stove-parts-4less.com/co ... ill-p-1010 .... the cost of each is around $230, the cost of a new Davy Crockett smoker/grill on Amazon is $359.... along the way I mentioned several times that I believed the Thermal Sensor (picture 1) ===> https://pellet-stove-parts-4less.com/pr ... one-grills# needed to be considered .... apparently its a part that is very dependable so the concentrated on the electronic control .... eventually one of their folks listened and sent a replacement sensor .... it arrived today and after installed, old Davy performed as advertised .... it even brought the Pizza Oven up to over 800 degrees

we are currently camped in South Dakota where two days ago we smoked Baby Back ribs in our Davy Crockett Smoker/Grill for the first time .... in doing so we used our Upper & Lower Sliding PMG Rack System 2 ---> https://pimpmygrill.com/davy-crocket...ystem-2-racks/ that were purchased from Pimp My Grill .... our Smoker/Grill came with a single cooking grate .... as shown below the 2 rack system allows us to smoke 3 racks of Baby Backs and taters at the same time

Im glad you finally got all the grill issues worked out. I know you have had more than your share. My wifes son bought a Traveler per our recommendation before I ever had issues with mine. I hope his does better than ors did. I know I would not ever buy another one.

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.......

when our Traveler worked, it really did a good job .... once its auger needed to be replaced, it was over .... it simply isn't designed in a manner that an average person can repair it
