    Hard to bead convenience, for sure. I like bbq'rs delight for high heat work, grilling etc. I've just been really happy with the Pitmasters for laying down the flavor.

    I need opinions on pellets for the Yoder Smoker(YS640) PLEASE

    X2 on Todd's pellets, awesome stuff in the 640. I run every cook at 180 for 2 hours with the yoder to get a good smoke layer out down, then proceed as normal. I'm fortunate to have a dealer here in KC who hooks me up, he's one of Todd's friends, great guys. Where are you trev? What part of the...

    Resturant Depot

    I was told retail sales license in KC, it's a great store, I've never payed more than $1.99lb for packers, and $1.19 for bone in butts. I'm going in for some ribs tomorrow for the weekend. As mentioned before, the cards do not have names or photos on them, just a member number and business...

    Hey Smokinpo, I've had a lot of luck with Hyvee, big and meaty. I like whole wings for smoking, and they have some nice ones, and they're not so big that the skin is more like a hide. Good stuff, I'll drive over with beer, what time again? I'm going to do some Asian baby backs this weekend...

    Let's see the birds! Or whatever you're thankful for!

    Nice looking bird Naturesrage! These smoked birds come off looking almost too good to eat! I like the idea of the rest between brine and smoker, let everything equalize a little bit. Did you see any brine weep out in that time?

    That sounds great! The sides on the smoker are a favorite of mine...I've been known to smoke a pan of brownies as well, chocolate and smoke go together like beer and ...anything.

    Did this little guy for a friend yesterday, smells AMAZING. Brined in salt, sugar, chicken stock, fresh garlic, fresh sage, fresh thyme, fresh lemons, whole peppercorns and a few clementines. Smoked on the Yoder 640 with Todd's Amaz-n-pellet tube smoker, and Todd's pellets. The aroma coming off...

    It's here!

    Just did the burn-in on the Yoder YS640 (for future search purposes), what a sweet machine. Couple notes, I saw a 15 degree delta between the integrated smoker probe, and my own aftermarket temp monitoring equipment placed at the far end of the pit, over the heat shield (don't want false high...

I can't say enough good things about Don Cary and the team at Yoder (and All Things BBQ, also owned by Don) unbelievable customer service, and extremely pleasant to work with. This unit is...
