    New Yoder YS640 Just Arrived...in CT

    Thanks, You should look into Todd's bulk and also Lumber Jack bulk.  It was more cost efficient for me to buy Lumber Jack pallet being on the east coast.  LJ pellets work really well and are 100% wood as are Todd's.  Starting to use them up as you can see

    New Yoder YS640 Just Arrived...in CT

    Sent you a PM - Exactly what I did two pins on the outside of each wheel, which is why I recommended to use washers between inside and outside wheel bearing surfaces. As for the fiberglass sleeve (really a cloth of fiberglasss) I had it from years back when I worked on high temp devices. Search...

    New Yoder YS640 Just Arrived...in CT

    Quick removal of the grates and heat diffuser (drip pan) I remove the ashes with a shop vac. Really easy from my perspective.  For the pork butts not an exact measure but about 24Lbs of 20lbs Lumberjack / 4lbs BBQ Delight at about 15.5 hrs so a bit over 1.5 lbs an hour. Not bad considering no...

    New Yoder YS640 Just Arrived...in CT

    Thanks for the suggestions. By keeping the YS640 VDD (damper) about halfway (with some tweaking during the cook) I am able to stabilize temps on bottom and top racks. By setting the temp to say to 225* I can keep the bottom rack around that temp and the right side top rack gets to about 10*-15*...

    I'm Joining the Ranks of Pellet Pit Owners

    Red, Great to see you pulled the trigger.  REC-TEC was my first choice before I ran into Yoder. I actually saw one in person here in CT and they are really nice.  Enjoy, hope to see some Q-Views soon.

    MAK 1 Star or Yoder 640 ... can't decide

    Must agree the Pellets I've been using are Lumber Jack and they have not dissappointed.  They have a great flavor, aroma of smoke is really crisp, and burn well compared to some others.  One experience is that cookingpellets brand burn thru faster Yoder faster, might be the batch so will have to...

    Rec Tec on the way

    I will have to stand corrected, after some additional research on REC TEC I believe is manufactured in China, though it is an american company designed .  I too went with Yoder YS640, a few extra $$ and well worth it.  Been using the Yoder now for about three weeks and everything so far has been...

    FIRE in MES 40

    Although the best way to continue would be the AMNPS, make sure that after you put the chips, chunk or whatever in the tray, rotate the side chip "feeder" all the way clockwise to limit the amount of air getting in. I tried that with marginal success then gave up on using the chip tray...
