Green Mountain Grills – Jim Bowie Prime

In July of 2019, Maven Ben finally decided it was time to add to the arsenal of smokers for The BBQ Mavens. After a long process choosing the right smoker originally, as I talk about here, this time was quite a bit different.

We had been using the Green Mountain Grills – Daniel Boone for competitions for around a year, after Maven Scott won one at KC Grilling Co in 2018. This pellet grill has served us well, and all of us knew we wanted to get a larger machine to allow us to handle cooking more and more meats when we need to. The only logical option for us was to move up to the larger model and buy the Jim Bowie!

The Green Mountain Grills – Jim Bowie Prime (wifi) edition gives us a few neat features, including wifi, a glass insert in the top to see what’s happening inside, 2 temperature probes, and a front and side shelf to help while cooking at competitions! This grill can also hit 550 degrees, which will really allow for a versatile pellet smoking experience! All of these upgrades, as well as a HUGE cooking surface, are going to make the 2019 American Royal competition, and future competitions, a lot of fun for us!  Another great perk of these smokers are the Pizza Ovens that fits in where the fire box sits!  This pizza oven can get up to 900 degrees easily and makes making a pizza take all of 3 minutes!

Green Mountain Grill describes this version of smoker as:
