We have the Davey Crockett Green Mountain Smoker. One of its best features is dc power so we can use it when dry camping. We tapped into a dc light in the pin box area and installed a dc connector and it will also work with ac power. We find that even as amateur smokers, our efforts are better than the majority of BBQ joints we have tried including some award winning restaurants. And we love steak smoked on the Davey Crockett. We smoke at 180 degrees for 30 minutes, remove them, crank up the heat on the smoker to 500 degrees, and finish cooking the steaks. They are melt in your mouth tender and the flavor is so good that we never order steak out any more. We are fulltimers and for us, this is a perfect smoker. We use it almost every day.
