New in Indiana

[wesir]

My name's Nate and I live in Indianapolis.  I'm currently transitioning from apartment living to having a house and figured I would try my hand at smoking after trying some amazing smoked food.   I do not currently have a smoker but was looking at ordering a Yoder YS640 and maybe moving to a stick burner when I'm more experienced.

Hello Nate. I live just south of indy and recently purchased a ys640 on competion cart. You wont find a better built pellet smoker. I love mine. If you are on facebook..join the yoder smoker fan page. Tons of great information.

Thanks, will definitely join their page.  Do you feel the competition cart was worth the extra $500? I don't plan on competing, but the base casters look like they would be a pain to get through dirt/grass. Thanks.

I have the 640 {and love it!!!} with the smaller casters and yes they would be a pain if you need to move it on anything but concrete.
Here is a link to a mod for the casters:

I looked into doing this and if I remember correctly it would end up costing around $125
Still a lot cheaper than the comp cart.
Keep Smokin!!!
