well, those of us old enough to remember watching HEE HAW will probably recall the line "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" .... went out this morning to burn-in pizza oven that fits into our new Davy Crockett Smoker .... ran the startup sequence 3 times and when the internal temp would reach about 100 degrees, she'd shut down .... call Green Mountain customer service ... after answering several diagnostic questions I put my phone on speaker and started the grill .... with their Rep listening she got up 148 and shut down .... he didn't like the sound of the auger or fan .... a single unit with and emailed How To video and all hardware needed to replace the parts he feels are bad should be leaving the west coast later today .... he said it could take up to 10 days to get here ... till then our grill will be sitting under a cover in the garage

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.......

yep, that's about sums it up .... Al, having seen the innards of a Traveler, you were dead on in your assessment of having to replace its auger .... contrast that with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjM9tup5v5o that deals with replacing one in a Davy Crockett

Trager, ASMOKE, Traveler and the other portable camping smoker grills I know of are wired for 110 or 120 AC .... our GMG Davy Crockett is wired for 12V .... it comes with a standard110 power cord that runs into a gizmo the turns it into 12V, a second 12V power cord with male cigarette lighter plugs on both ends, and third power cord with alligator clips on one end and a female cigarette lighter plug on the other.... for a smoker marketed to use camping, that makes a good deal of sense

as seems to have become the norm with FedEx, their shipment tracking is pathetic at best ... it shows our order departed the FedEx location in Troutdale, OR a 4:16PM on Friday, April 29, 2022 .... as this is being typed it is 9AM on May 3, 2022 and nothing else is shown on their tracking .... oh well, at least we know it's on the way
