 I was surprised with a GMG for an early Christmas/Birthday present. How about some recipes, tips etc?

When we bought our little GMG our very first thing we grilled was a brisket. We followed the recipe on the GMG web site... follow it to a T and you can't go wrong  :tup:
$5 is a lot of money if you ain't got it

I made the chicken. It was good but not what I expected, the neck whole was to big to allow the beer and what not to stay in the cavity. Sportmans Warehouse has good pellets well priced. I saw some Traeger pellets at Fred Meyer for $12 the other day.

Cash and Carry sells pellets for a good price.

Google is your friend for all sorts of recipes! Experiment find what you and your family likes. They do a good job cooking pork chicken and beef.

Traeger has quite a few recipes. Some other sites like YouTube and pelletheads have some great ideas as well.

No real recipes needed. Any meat you would normally bbq can be done on the GMG. We just did an elk meatloaf last night. So much better than in the oven. Our oven in the house has turned into a french fry maker and a papa murphys pizza maker. As soon as i figure out the pizza thing on the GMG, it will be for fries only

Set it @ 425 and let er rip man..  You will never go back...  You do not have to use a stone, it works awesome just on the grate.  Homemade pizza is good too, specially if you tinker and bring the temps way up..

1.  Plan according when doing big meats....roast, brisket, ect.  so you can let them rest for hours.  I let my Brisket rest for 4-6 hours.   Double wrap it in tinfoil and place in a cooler packed with towels to retain heat.  Rested meat is moist meat.  Unrested meat is dry meat. 

2.  Buy pellets in bulk to save money.  Lamrith will often run batch orders wich will get you a great price on great pellets. 

3.  Cook everything on it.....they are absolutely amazing.  Pizza is awesome  :tup: :tup:

Papa murphys may be my favorite on the gmg. It's amazing.
I also really enjoy French fries on there. They are bomb.
Anything that you can cook in the oven can be cooked on the gmg
Fries on the gmg. I cooked 30 min at 425 then put into oven on broil until done to liking.

Yeah I do Lumberjack pellet group buys every few months on here, just keep eyes open in the cooking forum.  We are winding down Buy #5 and have brought in over 6tons in the last year!!

For pizza "mods" on a GMG I have done this a number of times and loved the results, people might be able to adapt the idea to Traeger or others but I have no knowledge of how they are designed to know for certain... Might be difficult to do with papa murphy's with the way they use the tray and how think the dough is, but if you make your own pizza dough and works awesome!  Set grill to 500* and let it run.  Talking about 6min to a done pizza.  You could in theory do 1st 3 min, then pull pizza out and slide it on the stone directly when turning it...

Once heated to 500+, the drip try up top acts as a radiant heat source from above much like a wood fired oven.

For Christmas I am doing a 18-22lb prime rib roast. I am pretty excited, and nervous. I am planning on 20 minutes a pound on 225 degrees, so about 6 hours. Gonna head out to Sportmans Warehouse and pick up some more pellets.
