    Recipes?

    Just curious if anyone knows why in the recipe section is there actually no category for the meat itself? I thought maybe it was buried under the "Smoking Meat" section but nope not that neither. Was looking for some unique rib recipes.

    Trying to decide between Yoder Y640 & Rec Tec

    Guys thanks for all the feedback. I'm leaning towards the rec tec now to be honest because of price. I seem to keep wanting extra options which is making the yoder's price kreep up which is going to give the wife a heart attack :)

    Masterbuilt QA issues?

    Well apparently one place started carrying pellets in my area. Today i was able to find a bag of traeger hickory pellets (they didn't have oak). Hopefully hickory will work? For my future knowledge what other woods are like cherry being very difficult to burn? Apple?

    Masterbuilt QA issues?

    No i didn't :(. So i need to order oak now too :(. Cherry is very hard to keep lit? I do have some sawdust if that would help a little bit between the pellets.

    Masterbuilt QA issues?

    Well anyways. I just got it put together and am in the process of seasoning it. I think for the price its decently built. The only thing i don't like about it is the small air vent on the side is all the airflow you have. I just ordered an AMNPS today along with 20 pounds of cherry pellets. I...

    Masterbuilt QA issues?

    If you were going to get this unit which one would you go with 3 or 4 year? If it last 3 years then probably its not one of the buggy units and its not worth the extra $20?
