Traeger vs Yoder

[Finn81]

Timberline 1300 vs the Yoder YS640s, what’s everyone’s thoughts?

 

[WeberBlackStoneYoder]

Yoder YS640 and it's not even close.

 

[Fueling Around]

You're comparing opposites
I got a Masterbuilt knockoff Traeger for $200 last year.
After a year of cooks, there is no way I would pay $2000 for a pellet pooper

Both do a great job...But...American built Yoder. Chinese built Traeger. Seems like an easy decision to me...JJ

 

[IMAVGAN]

American Built or Chinese built has little to do with it.

It’s the American company “Traeger” specs that the Chinese are building to in order to keep maximize the money returning into their pockets that guide how the product is made.

 

[SlickRockStones]

Yeah! Treager can choose whoever they want to build their contraptions. This helps the Chinese worker to better afford new tires for his or her bicycle. I don’t want the person who builds my cooker to be strapped down with a mortgage and truck payment.

One word: Yoder

 

[BigW.]

I regret not getting a Yoder the first time. I will not make that mistake again.

 

[tx smoker]

That's not a situation of "choice". It's a lack of options Yoder all the way if you've nailed it down to those two. If your decision is not yet set in stone you may want to look at the Rec Tec. They make an excellent product, to which I can personally attest.
