    Yoder Smoker question

    When I ordered the Frontiersman, I was asked if I wanted the stack mounted high or lower. When I asked what the difference is I was told that they can mount the stack lower for hot & fast cooking but also that they (Yoder) do not recommend it. Apparently the firebox and stack locations are...

    Yoder Smoker question

    I tend to over buy as well.  I do not think you should worry too much over wasted space or fuel and go for a larger smoker if your budget permits.  I might even suggest the Kingman,  It is easy to produce a small cook on a large cooker but more difficult to pull off the reverse.  From...

    I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn't find a thread that addressed it.  I am considering the purchase of a Yoder Frontiersman and among the options is an insulated firebox.  The advantages of efficiency and reduced fuel consumption I think are pretty obvious but I wonder...

    Greetings from a NUG in Colorado

    New useless guy checking in from southwest Colorado. I've been lurking around here for a while and thanks to all who run the site and contribute as there's a whole lot that can be learned.  I grill quite a bit (at least 3 times per week year 'round in sunshine, rain, sleet, snow and dark of...
