After 8 years my Davy Crockett has experienced zero problems. It's used 5 times a month on average. The only money spent on the grill has been for meat probes which last about two years. Also replaced the grease plate once. That's it. Would I buy another? Yes, not not sure I will need to.

I love my Jim Bowie model! I've owned it for 8 years. I had an igniter issue early on, so I called customer service, and they walked me through starting it up with a propane torch. They overnighted a new one to me. The rep said they had a bad batch of ignitors, but some slipped through. The cover needs to be replaced but that's acceptable after 8 years in the Arizona sun. Mine has a completely "boxed in" firebox cover and mine has not warped. I think your hotspot may be due to yours warping. Mine was much cheaper than a Treager.I could not be happier!

I've had nothing but problems from the same model, same year. This is the most temperamental smoker imaginable. It has never consistently worked properly, the auger tube is constantly clogged, it won't hold a temperature no matter what sacrifices I make to the smoker gods.

My Jim Bowie prime is 5 years or so old, and my control board just went out on me. I'm going to order one soon, but will have to shift to the oven for a while. I am pretty sure all the other components are working fine, as I can kind of trick the board to run them... Hoping it is just a main board replacement.

The overall performance on my Camp Chef SmokePro SE (about 3 yrs old now), began to deteriorate a few months ago. It struggled to reach 400 degrees and soon afterwords wouldn't make 375. Then, a few weeks ago, the Temps began to fluctuate wildly. I contacted Camp Chef and they suggested to check for Aftermarket Gaskets under the Lid, to check that the Blower was working, to run "Feed Mode" before each cook and to Empty the Burn Pot before each cook, to clean the Chimney & Vents, to check the Chimney Cap and lastly to empty the Feed Tube and blow it out w/ compressed air. So the Camp Chef brand uses a Slide Out bottom for the Burn Pot w/ a catch bucket underneath so I looked inside the Burn Pot after dumping the ash and it was OK, the only other thing I hadn't already tried was to blow Out the Auger Tube, so I did that and it Still would not climb above 350 degrees in less than 30 minutes and the Temps were fluctuating still. So, None of that worked. I then ordered a New internal Temp Probe (which oddly was Not suggested by Camp Chef), and while I was waiting on this $30 Dollar item, I decided to break out the old Inspection mirror and a Flashlight and examine the inside of the Burn Pot. I was actually intending to watch the Auger turn during Feed Mode and when I looked at the Burn Pot walls I found the problem. It was Rusted out on all sides, especially around the cutout for the Auger Tube. So, I went to Camp Chef's website for this part and found it Extremely Difficult to locate specific parts. Their Parts aren't arranged or sorted in any order and the Descriptions just Sucked. Eventually I found Two different Burn Pots, one w/ a Bottom & one without. I had to assume the Open Bottom Pot was the one I needed but the Description failed to identify which Pellet Stoves it would fit, so I sent an e-mail to Camp Chef and told them that their Parts catalog lacked the information I needed to tell which Burn Pot fit my SE. They responded w/ the Part number for the bottomless pot, and I ordered it. The bottom line on the NEW Burn Pot was that it fit so badly, I had to loosen the top 4 mounting screws just to allow the bottom sliding plate to move for emptying the Pot. Also, the Igniter retaining tube was offset welded in a different location than the original which made it Very Difficult to get past the Auger Tube when installing. Additionally, the Receptacle Tube for the Igniter hadn't been finished when it' was machined. There were Huge Metal Burrs inside the Igniter mount Tube that prevented me from installing the Igniter. None of these defects were obvious before installing, so I had to remove & reinstall the Burn Pot several times before I realized the Machining work on the Igniter Tube wasn't finished. I finally got everything installed and the Igniter had quit working, likely caused by be trying to force it into & back out of a defective Mount tube. I contacted Camp Chef again and told them the finish quality on their New Burn Pot was so bad it made my Pellet Grill inoperable. They gave me a Return Authorization number & they got their POS Burn Pot back. I went to Pellet Stove Parts For Less where they give the option for OEM parts (at a much better price than from Camp Chef), or to purchase Aftermarket parts at about Half the price. I ordered the Aftermarket Burn Pot & Igniter and now my Pellet Grill works again ! I will likely be selling or giving away this Camp Cheff Grill and going w/ Recteq or Traeger next time.

Well you can test with a hydrometer after ten days, if your measurement is the same for two days in a row then fermentation is done and you can bottle. If I add additional sugars or malt extract it generally takes longer to ferment. After bottling I try one after a couple weeks and if carbonation is not quite what I like then I wait longer

I just fired up my first batch of American Ale , I use the Mr. recipes but now do all my brewing in a Brewart BeerDroid which does a great job of managing the temperature during the process Anita allows me to Cold crash right in the brewer for clarity then directly into a 3 gallon corney keg where I force carbonate can’t wait to try the Ale 🍺 thank for the excellent review 😎👍🏻
Happy brewing!
you ever getting back into doing videos
Eventually I hope to get some time to film some brew vids soon. Just been so busy last year or so.
more like over 2 years @@EsCoBrewing
I know I know 🤦🏻♂️
Well with our government taxing booze even more I think I will have no choice but to get back to the mini brewery and get things rolling
I just started mine tonight how long should I wait say 3 weeks but the van said ten days then 2 weeks in bottles
Well you can test with a hydrometer after ten days, if your measurement is the same for two days in a row then fermentation is done and you can bottle. If I add additional sugars or malt extract it generally takes longer to ferment. After bottling I try one after a couple weeks and if carbonation is not quite what I like then I wait longer
@@EsCoBrewing thanks I put in some brown sugar with it I’ll have to get a hydrometer
Your hand movements are hilarious 😂 keep up the videos man
Glad to see another video. You have me wanting to break out my keg this weekend and brew up a batch,
Had mine for 5 plus years. Love it. Great flavor. Easy to use. Family loves the food that comes off this grill. Recomend to anyone that wants to have great smoked food or grilled food. Temperature adjustment easy. Still in use. No major issues.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment, glad you are enjoying your GMG, keep on grilling!!
I'm brewing a 5 gallon batch of Anchorage Steam Beer....very similar to the famous Anchor Steam Beer from San Francisco. It should be complete/bottled in 1 month. I'll let you know how good it is!!!
Sounds like a great beer to Brew. yes let me know how it turns out. I am going back to basics and brewing a standard pale ale, should be up on the channel once its ready to taste test Cheers!!
Good to see you back!
Love your videos, your channel got me into brewing. Good to see you back. I purchased the Brewzilla 65L system ( I don’t recommend it), joined a local brew club and have started to go to brew festivals.
Hello, sir, I shared a link to this video on a private FB group where the question was asked about brewing an expired kit. Hope it drives some viewers to your channel. 🍺
Absolutely that’s awesome thanks
I did a double take 🥸🥸when I saw this video pop up! Glad to see the Mini Brewery and "Big Red" again even if it's from 2020.👍Your absence created a vacuum. Andy Huffman has a great Mr Beer-oriented channel too but hasn't posted in a while. It's cool that you did a side-by-side comparison on this one. Doesn't hurt that the expired kit turned out a nice beer. Saw in the comments where you have more content on the way, so looking forward to that. Cheers!🍺🍻
Ha ha yep it’s 2020 content that I found that I never published. I am getting things back up and running this fall and what better way than to toss up a vid, thanks for the support
Yea baby!!!!! Long time bro glad to see ya !!!!!
Thanks brotha...going to be creating more stuff over the next while and keep it coming more consistently. Had some pretty busy times over the last couple years so it will be nice to get back to brewing and filming..cheers
I bought my Jim Bowie 7 years ago and it has been ok, I always keep it covered and there are 2 rusted holes at the bottom contacted green mountain and its past warranty, they recommend to buy some liquid steel to fix I try this and it doesn't work. The wifi doesnt really work and I had the controller replaced twice, my Jim Bowie has moved to my curb for trash pickup day. I now have a Recteq RT-700 these blow GM away and they have a 6 year warranty good luck too all.
Hey thanks for the comment. That is too bad that yours did not seem to stand up like some others. I hope you have good luck and lots of great BBQ with your Recteq RT-700. I have never really looked into those. I will have to check them out sometime. Maybe when my GMG finally dies I might explore getting something different. But the damn thing wont die..12 and a half years now for the ole girl.. Cheers!
Yes!!! Glad you are back! I've learned a lot from your videos!
lots more content coming over the next few months, stay tuned
He's back!!
