How long did it take to warm up? If you have experience with previouse pellet grills, does it burn more pellets than others? What is the max temp you can get in it?
I looked at a Yoder yesterday. It is certainly well built. But is it too well built? It is so solid, such thick metal that it looks like it would take a long time to heat up, and use a lot of pellets to keep up to temp.
I'm with Beanhall - So many different smokers and so little time but the Yoder YS640 was my choice as well and the ability to sear with the GrillGrates played a big roll in that decision. Steaks to perfection. Those steaks look awesome.
I hear ya Beanhall, I spent months researching waffling back and forth about ditching my Traeger and for what. I got the 640 too, only have a couple cooks under my belt with it, but love it so far. Those sear marks are something my ol Jr Elite sure couldn't do even with the grill grates.
