Jeff, I wrote up my first cook here - ribs. Friday night, I cooked two pork butts overnight - slept like a baby; got up at 6am and they were both sitting at 160 degrees with rich bark. Haven't had time to post about that cook yet, but the results were very good. To answer your questions, the...

As luck would have it, I got home early enough to get two pork butts into the Yoder just after 10pm tonight.  I'm going to try the "set and forget" method - I'll get up early on Saturday and hope they are not charred or otherwise destroyed! It feels strange not to be baby-sitting all night. ...

Hi Kenny,  just a few words of encouragement after the wisdom shared by the guys here. I made horrible pulled pork on my first two attempts - that bitter taste you talked about was the same for my first butts and I felt very discouraged.  Once I sorted out the smoke problem, it never happened...

Also curious about that.

Thanks so much JJ - great method.  I'm going to do it exactly the way you describe and will post results!

Al, Alas, my WSM vanished during my house move a few months back. We moved during a blizzard and there was a lot of confusion. It sounds like my WSM, which I had broken down for the move, was mistakenly loaded in a truck headed for the dump. I didn't figure that out till I got to Santa Fe and...

I just bought a Yoder YS640 and did my first cook a few days ago. I have guests showing up on Saturday and they are begging me to make them pulled pork.  I won't be home Friday to start an overnighter, so I have to smoke on Saturday and be ready to serve at 6pm. The soonest I can get the cook...

Thanks AM and b-one! Looks like you both have a BBQ pit dog to take care of anything that falls off the table.  

Thanks, Ray. They came out better than I expected. I'm already planning the pork butts for this weekend!

Just finished my first cook! I learned a lot - have to master that damper!  My ribs were really delicious, so no complaints. I can't wait to cook a couple of pork butts. 

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. I've added the cooking notes and final pics to my post now. I was very pleased with my new Yoder!

Not sure how "different" you want to get.  For a change of pace, I sometimes make an Asian pulled pork. The easy way is to inject with a mixture of apple juice and Teriyaki sauce. For the fancy version, butterfly the pork butt, smear it all over with a paste (shallots, garlic, fresh red chilies...

It was bright and sunny in Santa Fe NM when I woke up and I congratulated myself on picking the RIGHT DAY to do my very first cook on my brand new Yoder YS640.  I figured I would keep it simple and get used to my new cooker by experimenting with a few racks of baby backs.  I dry-brined them with...

Thanks Warren, I will definitely post pics. I'll be doing my burn-off today and planning my first cook for next week!

Thanks for the welcome, guys and I'll definitely keep those vents closed, Joe.   I'm so excited - look what just arrived on my porch - fresh off the pallet!!  I haven't put it together yet, so I'll add a beauty shot once I have all the shelves and parts in place. 

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer, I'm in Santa Fe NM, and I'm new to this forum. I've been a dedicated WSM fan for the past few years and just dug deep for a Yoder YS640 pellet smoker. My new baby is being delivered tomorrow. I've had sleepless nights wondering where I should put it and how to...
