    A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER Does Not Smoke, Why?

    Todd, Nope, it works.  When it happened I really didn't have time to head into town for another propane bottle, had to get things going somehow so just grabbed the heat gun and tried it.  For a minute or so I didn't think it was gonna work, but it does. Joe

    A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER Does Not Smoke, Why?

    I ran out of propane for my torch, so instead of heading into town for another bottle I grabbed my Heat Gun to try.  It has worked so well for starting the pellets I may never pick up a tank for the propane torch.  And just lighting 1 end it will fill my GOSM with good smoke.

    Yoder YS640 Pellet Grill

    Todd, I agree 110% with all 3 of your items.  And the company has been very responsive so far.  It works as good as your Amazen Pellet Smoker.

    Yoder YS640 Pellet Grill

    Thanks Todd, Dave if I keep running this thing like I have so far I'm liable to have to get another full time job.     But the meat that comes off of it will be worth it.

    Yoder YS640 Pellet Grill

    WOW I've now had my Yoder YS 640 for 8 days and this thing is FANTASTIC.  The 40 lb. bag of pellets that came with it are gone and then some.  So far I've done Smoked Salmon, Grilled a Steak, slow cooked 8 racks of Baby Backs, and then quick cooked 6 more racks of Baby Backs.  On Saturday it ran...

    Coacher, Thanks.  I actually went for the YS 640 and am very happy with it so far.  I used the 480 in the comparision because it was closer in size to the Treager lil Tex that I had.  I started a thread on my new Yoder and have posted my experiences there for now.  Gonna have to figure out the...

    Trarger Grills

    So I was just sitting around last night and decided to do a bit of a comparision of the Treager Lil Tex to the Yoder 480; Treager Lil Tex is 418 sq inches of cooking area, and weighs in at 125 lbs. But it comes with a 3 position switch, so if you want the Digital control that's extra.  Then...

    Yoder YS640 Pellet Grill

    Oh Ya, that was one of the features that attracted me about this unit.  Seemed to good to be true till I tested it for myself.  Sorry I didn't get pictures, but I was starving by the time it came off the grill.  Yes the baffle helps to concentrate the heat for smaller grilling.  One of these...

    Yoder YS640 Pellet Grill

    Thanks Todd, It sure seems to work as advertised also. The firebox after a 7 hour run Smoking the Salmon.  My shop vac made quick work out of cleaning this up. This unit has a Variable Damper that you can use to concentrate the heat in part of the grill.  So you can actually create 2...

    Yoder YS640 Pellet Grill

    Ok today was the day to try the Yoder.  About 9:00 I went out and took all the grills out and sprayed them down.  Then filled the pellet hopper with BBQ'ers Delight Hickory Blend Pellets. (A 40 lb bag came with the Grill)  About 10 after 9 I fired it off and set the temperature control to 180...
