Do yourself a favor and buy a recteq.  You'll be thankful later on.

I landed on rec tec after doing a lot of internet sleuthing

Got a 2500 BFG coming, I hope its big enough!   

[Mossy]

Use mine a lot and can’t complain. I have the pre-wifi model though if that matters

Lol, that thing is a monster.  My RT 700 with the added rack is pretty dang big!

I’ve had a GMG for 8 years. I did have to replace an igniter a few months ago (this is common across all pellet smokers and costs $20), but other than that it’s been flawless for what it is. That said, keep your expectations in line with the price point. Seems like some of the guys that commented paid Bushnell prices and expected Swarovski quality. It’s an entry level pellet smoker. I went with the gmg to see if I would like/use it enough to justify dropping more on a rectec/Yoder/mak/etc down the road. I was hoping to get 5 years out of it and then upgrade but the damn thing just keeps going. Just make sure and use quality pellets, not the garbage traeger pellets you can get at Costco. I miss the days of the lumberjack pellet group buys on here!

What brands are quality?

I've had a pellet grill since 2002 and I've tried them all.  All I use now is Bear Mtn.  I haven't noticed much of a difference in any of them.  You still need to clean/vacuum your grill out occasionally with ALL of them.  You can get the Bear mtn on sale occasionally for $8-9 a bag so that's when I stock up.

I e had a Daniel Boone for 3 yrs now. Only issue I had was a cotter pin broke on the auger drive - super easy fix and smoker works great. Use it all the time

Bear Mountain is sold at my local Co-Op. they run great and are the right price.

Ya, I got a pretty big shindig coming up

I’m thinking it might not be big enough honestly.

I plan to get the 380 for everyday use too

What’s really cool is the flame deflector is really big, I think I can put hickory chips on it and run it in smoke mode.  Its heavy cast iron

Just checked it out. That really is a BFG!

Ya,can’t wait to fill it up

I had one for 4 years. Used it very regularly, average 3 times a week and some long cooks for ribs, etc. it was a good grill for the most part and for the amount I used it I can’t complain. The auger ended up giving me lots of problems at the end but I don’t think I can blame the grill or manufacturing for the amount of use/abuse I gave it. Cooked some killer meals in that thing! That being said, I think there are better pellet grills out there, RecTec being one of them and that is the route I’m going to go next. For the money though I think GMG is probably hard to beat.
