GMG Daniel Boone Wifi
Pellet Grill Review

Overall
Using the Daniel Boone Pellet Grill on a daily and/or weekend basis has proved to be an absolute pleasure. Even when I’ve had extended time in between cooks, I’m always happy to see that the grill cranks up just as it did the first time I turned it on. Most importantly, the pellet grill cooks does a fantastic job smoking meat. So far, I’ve done several pork butts, a brisket, hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken but will be trying veggies here very soon.

Easy to get started & operate
Getting the grill ready for your first smoke is a piece of cake. Green Mountain Grills, of course, provides a very professional and detailed manual explaining how to get started but they went the extra mile to provide a handy quick-start guide so you can get to smoking your first rack of ribs sooner rather than later. Operating the grill on a regular basis is easy and enjoyable.

WiFi & GMG Amp
The Daniel Boone WiFi really opens up a whole new world in the grilling/smoking arena and I’ve been impressed with how reliable this fester is. You can control the grill temperature, monitor the internal temperature of your meat, set up cooking programs and set timers. 

Connecting to WiFi is a breeze. You can connect over your local network then switch to the GMG cloud servers to take control on the go. I wouldn’t own a grill without this feature!

Low Pellet Warning
When your hopper is running low on pellets, not only do you hear an alarm on your pellet grill but if you’re connected to the app, you’ll also get notifications that you’re running low as well. Handy feature!

Shelves & Racks
With the GMG Daniel Boone, you do get an optional shelf to the right side of the grill and I’ve found myself using the top of the hopper as another small shelf. This grill does not have a bottom shelf nor does it have a front shelf which is one of the largest usability cons in my opinion.

While there are some usability options I’d like to see added, the Daniel Boone Pellet Grill gets a 90 out of 100 usability rating.

Of course, this is a highly ‘personal preference’ attribute in our Grill Newb Rating Matrix but one I’m passionate about. That being said, while I think other pellet grills on the market have a sleeker design overall, I really dig the design and black finish on the Daniel Boone GMG. It’s a grill you’ll be proud of aesthetically in every way.

The key design feature on this pellet grill that you’re bound to love is the height of the lid itself. Green Mountain Grills designed the Daniel Boone pellet grill with a 13.5-inch height clearance inside to handle taller recipes like Smoked Beer Can Chicken. Sure, some other pellet grills can accommodate recipes like this as well but it’s often very tight.

All things considered, the Daniel Boone Wi-Fi pellet grill gets a 80 out of 100 aesthetic and design rating.
