If you are ever looking for a GMG dealer, go see Thomas from Maxzim http://www.maxzimmaple.com/green-mountain-pellet-smokergrills.html they are the best when it comes to customer service with these grills. Had nothing but good answers to all my gazillion questions and he had the best attitude from all the GMG dealers in Ontario I called, he also gave me a ton of pointers like the frog mats ect ...

That's where I bought my grill. I dealt with his wife and was similarly impressed (not to be confused with similarly good) with the level of service.
I'm still thrilled with my grill.

Yes, Fred, your experience was really transformational for me. I had been pretty noncommittal about pellet smokers (owing primarily to the mixed reaction of locals to Traegers), but your outstanding GMG adventure has me lustily pondering getting a partner for my Weber.

I don't think you would regret the purchase Tom.
The only negative thing I'll say about my GMG is that it is not all that temperature stable. It seems to wander up and down by 50ish degrees, though that does not show directly on the digital display. Sneaky buggers at gmg stop updating the temp on the display when it goes past the set temp. I have no idea if that really affects flavour or not.
I don't know if more expensive units like the MAK are more temperature stable.
Anyway, for the money I'm very satisfied

A 50 degree temp swing is pretty huge. I can get my Weber smokey Mountain to maintain with only slight temp fluctuations. I doubt it hurts the flavor though.

Nope. Just cooking time.

May as well be the official thread no? Buy good quality charcoal. It DOES make a difference. Check out the Cdn Tire junk brand and all the lovely junk you actually find inside. Some tasty steel... mmmmm, and large rocks... yumm.

Anyway, for the money I'm very satisfied My MAK stays within 5deg. I love this thing. Smoked a prime rib for t-day. It turned out fantastic.
