    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    Counting down the days until I go pick it up! This will be the longest 3 weeks of my life.

    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    I pulled the trigger. Spending way more then I should and I have read many a post that references that it would be impossible to tell the taste difference between a 3000 buck smoker and a 500 buck smoker. That is most likely true however I am not making this purchase because I believe the food...

    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    Never mind on the moving. I can rent a 6000 lb hand cart and a set of ramps for under 50 bucks total at the home depot down the street.

    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    Hi WeberBlackStone (and any other Yoder owners who can comment) - So I may have gotten lucky. It looks like there is a dealership in Abilene that called me today and one of their customers bailed out on a 640s that is coming on October 14. So a 200 mile drive... I have a trailer I can put it...

    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    Well nothing like getting all excited about something but then a big come down. I finally decided on the YS 640. I figure it would be the next and last piece of equipment I would ever buy so why not. Now the only issue is I have to wait until mid November and December based on the dealership I...

    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    I am in a bit of a quandry now. I have spent the entire evening comparing the RT 700 with the YS 640... Honestly now I think I am leaning to the RT 700. I am not planning on entering any competitions or anything like that. I do want to be able to sear but it seems like the RT700 is up to the...

    Pulling the trigger on a Yoder?

    Greetings all I feel bad for not posting for awhile. My phone is stocked with pictures of meals but I have been lazy...no other excuses. So here I am 90 days into my ownership of my Traeger 575. It was my first pellet grill but I love it. I love grilling and smoking that is. The Traeger is...

    Reverse Seared Fillets on the Yoder

    I work from home and like to take many cheat breaks. One of my favorites is to look at posts I may have missed. Those steaks look fantastic. Just got into pellet grills at the beginning of summer and got a Traeger but have buyers remorse and am wishing I bought a Yoder. Seems like they are a...

    First Brisket and Burnt Ends

    This forum has been a goldmine for me. Very addictive and I’ve found myself spending hours reading posts and drooling over all of the fantastic dishes. I have learned more from this forum then anywhere. I spent the day delivering burnt ends to friends of ours. Now they are gone but there is...

    First Brisket and Burnt Ends

    Yeah that’s what I was hoping. Had to be like that as everywhere else was good. Novice question but when the brisket is wrapped in paper I didn’t want to poke a hole in the paper to probe it. I basically unwrapped it. I read online that you can also tell when a wrapped brisket is done based on...

    First Brisket and Burnt Ends

    It was fantastic! I’m a novice but I watched a bunch of the hardcore carnivore stuff and that girl makes some great looking food. Had never tried that rub before but it was really good

    First Brisket and Burnt Ends

    My first brisket! Went small and got a 6lb from a butcher. I was gonna go with the meat church method but I kind of went all over the place and took a bit from a few sites. I used the hardcore carnivore black rub. My Traeger did well. Cooked it at 225 for several hours in an aluminum pan until...

    Jeffs Rub

    This forum is great. Unfortunately all i want to do is make food every time I look at posts. Lots to learn from all the experienced experts here.

    Jeffs Rub

    That was quick. I like the fact that the recipe is delivered as opposed to the actual rub. It is faster and it allows for a little tweaking at my own risk. Got the sauce and the rub. Thank you Jeff! I will send results when I use it.
