I was faced with the same problem. I bought the Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett and have been more than happy with my choice.

Seems like for price, features and quality the Davy Crockett receives high marks. Wifi pellet grill for about $350.00 is pretty good.

You can also plug into a 12v cigarette lighter or regular outlet for power.

lyork posted in the GMG section that he purchased one at Sams Club for around $250 which is a great deal.

Not only is that a great price from Sams Club but it also comes with the cover, tote bag and 8 pounds of pellets. The cover and tote would cost 100 bucks.

Fantastic deal!  My Sam's Club app is now telling me it's "out of stock online".  But don't take that as gospel. Check for yourself if interested.

My brother has a Davy Crockett and we cooked on it on a Colorado trip this last summer. I found his cooked too hot at the grate for the pizzas we cooked. Cool on top with crust burnt. The biggest issue was the pork butt I did. Burnt the bottom to the foil after it was wrapped. While I am one for bark, there was a layer of charcoal on the bottom. Anyone else have this issue? Wonder if a baking stone or an unglazed ceramic tile between the food bottom would distribute this heat more evenly. Sure works in an RV oven.

Never had anything burn that bad on the bottom. Did he have the heat shield slid over where the holes were exposed instead of blocked?

Good to know you don’t have issues. I honestly don’t know about the heat shield. I will look at it next time. Hopefully that was it!
