I have 2 Yoder pellet grills (need the space for large gatherings) and I love them but would like to get more authentic with real fire. I am not sure that I want to spend the time tending a stick burner offset, so I am looking into charcoal cabinet smokers- LSG or Meadow Creek.
Will one of...
...good brands of stick burners out there. A major factor is shipping so if you live near a dealer or can drive for pick up that helps. Lang, Yoder, Shirley, Meadow Creek, & Lone Star to name a few. These will probably cost more than a pellet smoker, but will last forever. Lots of good...
...in the USA. I have the Grid Iron. Solid unit.
Smokin Brothers makes one, but I know nothing about them.
Lone Star Grillz makes some, but similar cost to Yoder.
For an economy model, the China made Green Mountain Daniel Boone is hard to beat. I have one for a backup cooker, or for when needed.
...shot. I agree with @chopsaw. I made a spreadsheet and went deep in the rabbit hole to help me sort out my decision 10 years ago. My top 3 were Rec Teq, MAC, and Yoder. from what I read, all very solid machines. Rec Tec won my purchase and I have zero regrets and recommend them all the time.
Hi! What sticks burner did you get?
Meadow Creek has some nice Pig roasters.
Some are on trailers , depending on how much you want to expand your kitchen!?
Good luck on your BBQ Comp !
...want to take a look at the Pellet Pro from Smoke Daddy. I don't own one but I've been seriously thinking about it for a few months. I love my Yoder. It's built like a tank but a vertical would suit my current needs much better. The Yoder gets down to 150 and holds it pretty well as long a the...
I just have thoughts,
The air flow is variable, never really optimal as a defined number. This is because many physical things are at play all the way through the cook and must be adjusted for, this is why it takes time to become a “pitmaster”. No amount of electronic equipment or gadgets will...
...and an awesome burger!
No pics just wanted to share that for anyone who's seen them but like me stayed away due to the price.
Got a pork butt in the Yoder right now :) We're gonna try something with Poblanos & pulled pork.
Hope everyone had a great Independence Day!

...Stuck one RFX in the tater, one in the Strip and slapped the Gateway on the patio door.
From the Strip to the Gateway goes thru 10ga Yoder, some 65 feet across the backyard to the patio door. From the tater to the Gateway goes thru the indoor oven, across the kitchen, thru kitchen wall...
Hey guys! Looking to get into a pellet smoker from an old MES XL. I do want to stick with american made. Love the yoder but that price tag is pretty high right now(hopefully one day). Was wondering what other good smokers are out there for american made (or north american made at least) i was...
Another vote for Yoder. Got my YS640s comp cart almost 4 years ago, built like a tank and operates perfect. I have yet to encounter any rust issues, however I treat it like a classic car, stored in the garage with a cover on it and only comes out when no rain/snow is on the radar.
I feel any of...
I love my Yoder YS640. Got it in 2018 and I have used the heck out of it. Replacement parts are easily obtainable. I've heard & read more complaints about rust than anything but any rust my cooker has experienced doesn't affect the function nor the flavor. They are cooking machines!
Full...
...PP665. I'd like a pellet grill to mostly smoke on here year-round. I have a couple of smokers I'm leaning into at the moment (Weber Searwood, Yoder YS640s and LSG 20x36) for various reasons but would like some input. I'm still digging thru the forums reading old posts to see what I'm missing...
Thats a fine purchase right there! I did the same, ever since I saw a Yoder some years ago I wanted one. Thought about it for a couple years, bought mine the spring of 2021, my first and only pellet rig too!
