Time to get a smoker...

[eddiememphis]

I still love my GMG Davey Crockett but sure wish it could do the prep of putting the initial load in the fire chamber automatically. I'd use it more often for even simple grilling if it did. I don't mind cleaning out the ashes separately, just don't like having to go through pulling everything out to load the chamber when all I want to do is grill a steak or two.

My dream grill would use wood pellets, fire up without having to pull everything out first, and hit peak temps of 750 or so.

Six months too late on my part, but I have a Davy Crockett and all I do is push a button. It runs the auger, filling the fire pot then the igniter gets hot. I have never had a problem with it. In fact, I have a couple pounds of salmon going in it today.

Not sure why you would need to manually fill the pot. How old is your unit?

Re-read the manual. You shouldn't need to manually fill the fire pot every cook. Only if you run out of pellets.
