Green Mountain Grills Trek Prime 2.0 Portable Wi-Fi Pellet Grill
Camping, tailgating and small cooks where 12V power is available
The Trek is GMG's portable pellet grill: about 219 square inches on one grate, a 9-pound hopper, 150°F to 550°F in 5-degree steps and Wi-Fi control through the GMG Prime app. It runs on 12V direct current from a vehicle or a mains adapter, and still needs 36 inches of clearance.
Published specifications
- Maker specs: 219 sq in cooking surface, 7.75 in from grate to lid, 9 lb hopper
- Maker specs: 150-550°F in 5° increments, Wi-Fi controller, meat probe included
- Maker specs: 24 H x 32 W x 16 D in, 63 lb; runs on 12V or a mains adapter
- Manual: back and sides at least 36 in from combustibles, no overhead combustibles
- Manual: probe not suitable above 257°F; clean about every 2-3 bags of pellets
- Warranty: 3 years from first retail purchase, original purchaser, non-commercial
Strengths
- Runs from 12V, so it works at a campsite or tailgate as well as at home
- Wi-Fi control and food-probe alerts come built in rather than as an upgrade
- Maker publishes full technical specs, part numbers and a startup-cycle chart
Caveats
- The 9-pound hopper needs topping up on long cooks
- Manual and maker's owner page describe opposite grease-tray orientations
- GMG's warranty page does not mention the labour coverage the listing field claims
