No need to remove the internal vent for cleaning hopper. Purchase the $20 Halo vacuum attachment to vacuum out the hopper without removing the vent hopper cover. Also, they do include the battery for shipping and regulation purposes. including the battery would greatly increase the shipping costs of the grill itself due to lithium battery shipping regulations.
@@double-a83I have the prime 1500. Everything is great with a few exceptions. Cons: -Battery drains about 20-30% when left in during a 24hr period. -The app is unusable to me because the login password box only accepts passwords shorter than 20 Characters. -The fan blows a lot of ashes underneath the grill plate. -I had the fan replaced because grease may have dripped its way to the fan. The fire possible reached it and caused the fan to melt. -if you want more smoke/flavor, you have to prime it often by holding the main button set on prime. Pros: - Cooks very evenly. - Very spacious. I think I can smoke 4 spatchcock 20lb turkeys. -The side tables fold up which makes loading it into a flad bed super easy with a helping hand. -Battery powered. Not having to use propane is great when lugging it around. -Battery life is as advertised. Get about 15-20 hrs depending if you keep your hopper full. (If its full all the time, it will vibrate less to move pellets into the auger) -if repairs are necessary, its very simple to replace parts. The internal design is super simple. - the sear plate is questionable, but when open all the way, its a flamethrower. If you got any other questions. I'll be happy to answer them for ya.
I just got this in the mail yesterday. I bought it with the cover and battery. If you’re going to buy it without the battery, I would recommend just buy the battery with the charger.
I asked them about that a while back and they said they were working on a solution to power external devices with the battery pack! It cooks great! There is a little hotspot in the middle but it's not terrible.
If I had this grill, as a camper, I’d just get an adapter and run it off my camper battery, or a portable artery pack. But at that price point, I’d go for a GMG Trek.
Great review! Love the honesty on the downsides too
Another great grill review Brandon, nice job!
I actually have one,this little guy is a beast in it's own.

I like the portability of this. This would be great for tailgating.

@@RoyalF04 Thank You so much
Now that bbq pit stop is gone where do you get your pellets and which brand do you prefer?

Great review 🙌🏼
Best, portable smoker?
How well does it maintain cooking temp?
It takes a while to get up to temp but it stays there pretty well once it does.
Nice review!
Can you charge your phone with that battery? And, how does it cook??
I asked them about that a while back and they said they were working on a solution to power external devices with the battery pack!
It cooks great! There is a little hotspot in the middle but it's not terrible.
Great video man. How many burgers can you fit on this guy?
I like your review...not so much on the little grill. Very tight market for that money.
Be nice if it could use cordless tool batteries 😮😮🎉

This thing blows the trek out of the water and it has a five year warranty.
Already up $50 since this video
Yeah, this video was filmed a few months ago.
Great Concept.....Needs Improvement
Why would u not sell the battery with it Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂
Nah I’m good
Whodamanyoudaman.
If I'm camping, I'm using wood.
If I'm gonna smoke anything, it will be indirect.
Meh, mid. I’ll stick to my Traeger 575
The Trek grill by GMG is AMAZING!!! Much bigger cooking space and cooks perfectly!
Hands down this little guy blows GMG out of the water, in terms of comp the only thing that stands up to this one is the grilla portable.
