I love my Green Mountain...literally cook on it every night. Nothing wrong with having to spend a lot of time on the back deck Just remember to follow the directions on maintenance...as far as vacuuming out the fire pot and such. I am not a maintenance freak for a lot of things but I do keep up with it for this grill...and I would recommend the cover if you are leaving it outside in any way Enjoy!!!!
My next pellet grill I'm getting a hot ash vacuum.North 40 got one for 89 bucks, best ratings too.
You have more control with the GM...as far as increments. GM is 5 degs...I have several buddies that had the other brand and they like them but said they would go GM next time. I don't have the Wifi deal on mine...I enjoy sitting and watching /listening to it work. I have no regrets.
