    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Well...Saturday pick up did not happen as when I got measurements for the package I was concerned enough that I did not make the trip as my vans middle seats can't fold down, would have to remove them and it was 3.5 hours away so didn't want to chance it. I then looked at ATBBQ some...

    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Well after much internal debate and an excel spreadsheet ranking stuff...I think I reached a decision. The MAK one star seems to be great, but space is limited and have to buy a 400 grill zone thing....and at end of day can’t make it bigger. Rec Tec was the winner on my spreadsheet for values...

    So I was looking through the Yoder forums last night as still debating a ys640 or maybe even a ys480 to be frugal as they do have a strong following. The forums talked about the grease from cooks stripping paint and causing rust on the body, and the constant need for sanding and repainting. I...

    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Keep agonizing over it. I live in the pacific NW so the stainless vs Yoder rust worries me. I don’t want to be tied to the smoker so the controlling it from miles away and included probes that are part of the WiFi seems awesome for kids events and such. Sear station included in packaged from...

    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Well I did see the Mak...wasn’t sure on it. I have seen tons of positive reviews, and actually surprised to find the one star on sale for around 1,500 right now with free delivery...Guess that ones in the mix too...

    YS640 comp vs Rec Tec Bull comp

    Greetings all, I have lurked and read for years, but going to move on from wsm and join the pellet grill/smoker ranks. I am fortunate to have a decent budget, and appreciate buying something to keep for a long time. Im looking at these two which will come out surprisingly close on cost. Most...
