My YS480s on the Competition Cart is shipping soon

[YoderGuy]

This will be my first Yoder, I have been a Traeger owner for many years, and a GMG Daniel Boon user the past couple years. (because that is all I had left)
I lost both my Traegers in the Tubbs fire of 2017, along with everything else.
So I decided, to treat myself to a real quality, Made in the USA replacement.
It should be here in the next couple of weeks, and I cannot wait!

Sweet... Enjoy !

I remember reading about that fire in the news. What a tragedy. I hope material things were the only things you lost. Good luck with your Yoder. I've heard great things about them.

 

[YoderGuy]

It has been a long two years, but yes, material things only, in our new house and getting used to things.

Enjoy. I have had my YS640 for a year and really enjoy it. I'm interested in hearing how the new controller works. I may want to upgrade once Yoder comes out with the retro.

Awesome! Don't forget to show pics of your first cook.

Finally! And it looks like you don't waste any time getting started. Enjoy.

I ran her up to 350° with the included pellets, and let it go for a couple hours.
Then I threw a grill mat on and whipped up a quick dinner, no pics.
Was not prepared to soil her just yet.

I watched a video of a guy seasoning a new one for a customer, he did the burn in, then threw some big slabs of pork fat on, at 250° for 5 hours

Any thoughts of this?

 

[ofelles]

Throw a nice big butt on there and have yourself some pulled pork. Then some ribs or a brisket. Just dive in the deep end!

Looks cool! Reckon you'll be having a lot of fun getting acquainted.

I am currently seasoning it with the method from the Yoder forum's Yoder_Herb
Which is, after the burn in, I pulled everything out, wiped down everything with a dry cloth to remove any residue. I then sprayed the entire interior with Canola oil, inside walls, inside the lid, grates, etc. I am now running it in at 350° for an hour. After which I will throw in a rack of ribs which are all seasoned with dry rub and waiting to go.

That's a good looking bit of kit (as a Brit might say).
