Opinions wanted on new smoker

Nobody has them in stock. My closest dealer says Oct-Nov for stock to be in.

Have you tried talking with Yoder. They sell direct also.

There is a dealer about 90 miles away who is getting 3 in next week. They will assemble and deliver for $150 not a bad deal at all.

That's what I got charged 3 years ago. Nice to see something has not gone up.

Can't wait to see what ya get. . . this is about like Christmas

Just learned something, Dealers for Yoder do not sell for advertised price they will charge you shipping fee(whatever they want) even if you pick up at their store. For instance a 640 with comp cart is $2599 I was quoted $3500 with a cover even if I pick up.

Try another dealer. Dealer near me sells for online price. Only chargers shipping if delivered.

problem is both dealers close to me don’t have stock and won’t for months. This one is 90 miles and getting 3 next week but quote left a bad taste in my mouth like bad bbq

So finding a 640 is like finding a unicorn, some dealers are saying next year. Now I am taking a good look at the Maverick 1250

 

[sandyut]

I’d say Yoder and Recteq should make your list

yup these!

 

[SocalDon]

And of course there is not 1 dealer in Calif

There is a fairly active Pitts and Spitts Facebook page. I know there are owners in So Cal. I’d look at the group page and maybe one of the local owners would let you look it over. To me, it’s the heaviest best looking out there. Heavy metal, nice paint, and welds.

Just had a nice conversation with Coy at Pittsnspitts think thats direction I will go.

The Weber Smokefire EX6 is 200$ off at the moment. They're becoming quite a cooker now that software and hardware problems have been sorted out

Not quite the quality I'm going for, that seems like a lateral move from my GMG which will be smoking a nice prime packer brisket this weekend

I really like my Yoder YS640 Comp. My only complaint would be the igniter pellet tray, It gets crusted over to easy and won't lite the pellets for my next smoke. Pain in the ass to clean it out, I have tried several brands of pellets and settled on Lumberjack. Still have to clean it after 8 or more hours of use. Any Yoder owners have a similar issue?

I haven't heard of that issue during my research. I would already have a 640 if they were not so hard to locate. Looks like a Pitts and Spitts 1250 with the big wheels and wifi might win out

My Yoder is 3 years old. They might have addressed the problem with the new ones?

 

[SocalDon]

Disappointed there is only 1 probe on the Pitts and Spitts,

 

[leol2]

I have a Smoke Daddy 1190. It is a fantastic pellet smoker and has an optional diffuser for $99 which allows you to add wood to the smoker. Best part you can get it all including delivery for around $1300

 

[SocalDon]

Anyone have any info on Pitts and Spitts WiFi? I just cant understand why on the 1250 which is on my Short list only has 1 probe for such a large grill
