    First Time Brisket

    This turned out to be the best brisket I've ever eaten! It was just a "touch" salty but there's salt in the rubs, injection and sauce. The only thing I would change is the salt in the coarse rub. Overall, the cook time was about 8.5 hrs. Started at 250° for 5 hrs. Pulled the brisket off...

    First Time Brisket

    Wrapped the flat w/foil and some of the injection liquid and back onto the smoker. Wrapped the point in butcher paper and back into the smoker. Will check in a couple of hrs for temp. And a little "snack" for the chef! :emoji_wink:

    First Time Brisket

    I have been smoking on a Yoder YS480 for about 8 years and never attempted a brisket. Costco had a sale on a prime grade full packer for $4.99lb. Yep, bit the bullet and brought it home. Got up this morning and trimmed, injected, seasoned and on to the smoker about 9a. I'm running at 250°...

    Should I update my Yoder?

    Hey everyone! Haven't posted in quite awhile. Curious what you all have to say .... I have 2 smokers, a Yoder YS480 (original model) and a Traeger Ironwood 650. Both have similar grate space but operate differently. The Traeger that I have is WiFi connected and I love having the ability to...

    Super Bowl 2017 - What's on the menu?

    Super Bowl munchies today are a 3lbs salmon filet that I brined last night and just took off the smoker about 30 mins ago.  Set up again for baby back ribs that should be done about game time!  Kick back with a bloody mary, munch on smoked salmon and watch the game.

    12.5 hrs on a 6 lb butt, IT at 185°, I'm determined to eat this pig.  Spritz every 10° and pour another Jack & coke.  The wait continues ...

    A good grill smoker combo? Does it exist?

    I just purchased a Yoder YS480 for the exact same reasons you are looking for.  Let me start first by saying that anything mechanical, can/will break. There are a very few select pellet grills out there that will do what you want. I researched a lot of smoker/grill combinations and felt that...

    First Pork Butt on New Yoder YS480 (Q-View)

    I bought mine from a local distributor and it did not have the 2 pc diffuser plate.  I haven't decided if it is worth the $100+ for that option.  I am waiting for others to review it's functionality.  I love this smoker ... it's as close to "set it and forget it" as I've ever seen.  I have been...
