...I'm also open to other suggestions. I have a budget around $1,800 maybe $2k tops. I was looking at a Recteq Flagship or possibly for a used Yoder YS640, but I'm not dead set on either. I'm definitely open to suggestions!
I do a number of larger cooks for friends and family (50+ people)...
A member recent thread just got a LSG pellet smoker. It looks pretty sweet. Dont have a clue what they cost though. I have a Yoder and love it. I use it more than the stick burner due to convenience. Only negative is cant change the pellets easily.
I went from an offset to an MES 30 ,,, talk about WTF .
Give yourself sometime to get used to it , and I bet you love it .
I have a smokefire . I do all the things you mentioned on the top rack , and a drip pan underneath the main rack . Lets the air , heat and smoke circulate around the...
Thanks, for that!!!
As far as heating up a large barrel, that really doesn't concern me, as I mainly only smoke in the summer, and we are often in the high 90s to over 100, and burning some extra pellets is not a problem.
I'm still on the fence on whether I want this one or not.
I have to...
I love my rec teq RT 700. its over 10 years old and runs like new everytime.
When I was researching my top three pellet grills were MAC, Yoder and Rec Teq. that was based on what I wanted and budget.
I’m not sure how many YS640 owners we have here, but if you have any questions on how it performs ‘real-world’ simply ask and I’ll do my best. Yes it’s pricey, especially with the accessories (the pizzas are outstanding!) but you’ll use it forever. With the 10ga steel, it holds well and is as...
...in. I have a week off between job changes and time to burn. When we bought the vacation lakehouse around five years ago during covid I bought a yoder YS640 so I had a smoker here and kept the lang in kc at our other place. Made it our forever home four years ago as kids were entering HS and...
First off congrats on a fine purchase and second, welcome to the forum. No experience with the unit you got, I just know its a good one. I personally run a Yoder YS640s.
In my opinion my top 3 pellets in order are Smoke Ring, Jealous Devil, LumberJack.

...you well. I have had my RT-700 for over a decade and still runs like new. When I was shopping for my pellet my top three pics were: MAC, Yoder, Rec Teq based on what I wanted.
The new Rec Teqs are pretty sweet and loaded up with way more stuff than mine came with. Customer service is the...
Hey Civil! Funday’s used to be normal, now it’s a victory🤣 thank you, It’s an amazing smoker, it’s worth saving a bit longer to save for the Yoder.
Thank you Brian! It was fun!
Thank you TKO! I think we’re through!
We are going to the in-laws. FIL will smoke the bird, probably on his yoder. I think we'll bring up some sides and a pie or 2. But pretty easy on our end. We'll be hosting Christmas at our house this year though.
...and seered about a minute per side. After seer, seasoned with W sauce as binder, montreal and cherry habanero rub.
TBS rolling on the yoder set at 230.
It takes a lot longer for a bone in PR than a boneless. This one took 4.5 hours. I had to bump up temp to move it along faster...
I've decided to purchase a Yoder Pellet Grill soon as I sell my offset. I'm leaning toward the 480 for my immediate family needs, probably use 2-4 times a week along with my BGE. I've been looking for a pic of a whole brisket on the 480 to reference for those instances when I want to make one...

Congrats on the new toy. I hardly use my stick burner since I got the yoder. I burn lumberjack apple and competition pellets with a tube. Keep a nice supply of 40 lb bags stacked in garage on some 2x4s to keep off ground so I have never ran out of them. Also have a five gallon bucket with screw...
I’m considering pulling the trigger on a Yoder Cimarron pellet smoker and am concerned about heat up / recovery time. I’m also curious about pellet consumption but this isn’t a concern
I’m hoping someone on here has one and would be willing to share their experience with me
If all the “latest&greatest” appeals and you plan on upgrading every 3-4 years or so, the Yoder isn’t for you. There’s undoubtedly shiny stuff on the horizon and especially for pellet newbies a shorter view makes sense.
Pls understand, I’m not dissing; my RT680 was my first pellet and served its...
