    Yoder 480 vs. Yoder 640

    I just got back from the store and learned about the adjustable damper. Turns out, he has a 3 day used 640 with a couple scratches on the paint that he will sell me for $1400 all in taxes included. Pretty sure this is what I want to do. Got a little sidetracked with a green egg, but after...

    Traeger vs MAK

    Why NOT a Traeger?

    Soon to be Pellet Smoker

    Finally talking the wife into letting me pull the trigger in a Pellet Smoker. Live in Livermore Californa and have BBQ'd 3-4 days a week in charcoal and gas my whole life,with no skill at all or ability. I am ashamed to say, my skills are that of someone that just cooks it. So I have a whole...
