Great Tips!

Awesome video and good points made.. definitely considering a Yoder but have been contemplating the lonestargrillz pellet grill because you can add wood chips into your pellets for even more flavor

@RumandCook

Thanks. I’m not sure if that actually adds more flavor or not. Pellets burn slower and those small chips are going to burn quick. It’s def interesting, I wouldn’t be surprised if Yoder allowed ppl to do it. No official word yet. 🍻

I got a very cheap propane grill as a wedding gift many years ago and upgraded to a Weber Genesis several years later for Father's Day for myself. Used the heck out of it but when the ignitor went out (not hard to replace I know) I found that I really wasn't using it. Got a Blackstone griddle and replaced my Recteq with a Yoder and now I'm selling the Weber Genesis because I just have no need for a propane grill anymore. The Blackstone 36" griddle is all I need for doing those types of cooks and the Yoder fits the bill for everything else. Life is far more simple. #yodersmokers #pelletgrill

Good video. Although I've got a pellet smoker, I rarely use it. For people that are just going to have a pellet grill and that's it, seems like the Yoder is a good option. I had a Pitts and Spits and it was a fantastic pellet grill and had a grill zone. Only tried that once since I have several other options that are better for grilling. Now just have the Myron Mixon Barq, which is a really good pellet smoker, with lots of room. I would love to see more cooking from your Alfa pizza oven, since I am new to mine as well. Only cooked on mine probably five times. There is a learning curve for sure. I'm trying to dial in cooking chicken and other stuff in mine. I am in love with my Alfa. Haven't seen you crank up your KK much lately. #YoderSmokers #PelletGrill

My only problem with my yoder ys640 with comp cart is it only has 2 prob ports. I do like the fireboard control just not the number of ports for probs. Like 4 prob ports. I load it with 4- 6 pork shoulders, 4 briskets, or 6 chuck roasts. I like to know temp all my meat is at.

How hard is it to use the direct flame? i.e., do you have to remove the 300 degree grill grate, then use a tool to get the plate off.. find a place to lay a 300 degree plate, then put the grate back on?

#yodersmokers #pelletgrill Hey there! Just saw your video. Considering the 480S due to space constraints. Was also checking out the Weber Searwood… Would love feedback.

Is there a video where you talk about why you chose the Yoder over other pellet grill brands (Pitts and Spitts, Recteq, etc.)?

@RumandCook

5 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, no but I can share my thoughts. Pitts and Spitts required add ons for wireless and lacked accessories. It was also more money for less features. Recteq, I didn’t even consider. I can’t get past their handles. I think they look ridiculous and I didn’t want that on my patio. lol personal thing obviously 😁 I read a ton of reviews on the Yoder. I liked the removable fire door for searing and I liked how it got to 600. Add in the accessories and it seemed like the right choice. Years later I still love it and with the pizza oven it’s tough to beat! Hope this helps. 🍻 Ps I tried 3 Traegers all the way up to the Ironwood and hated them. Poor quality and no sear ability at all.

Do you find that you can hold high temps on the pizza oven with the smoker door opened? Looks like the manufacturer recommends that. #yodersmokers #pelletgrill

My questions… I have/had a Traeger (max 375 degrees) and a Camp Chef (max 300 degrees) that won’t get to or hold high temps despite being cleaned. Does this happen with Yoder? Also can I use the temp probes at high temps (e.g., searing steaks)?

@RumandCook

Ай бұрын

Those temps sound low. I’d tried a better quality pellet like Bear Mountain to see if you can get it higher. The Yoder can do 600 no problem. It will do higher with the diffuser plate open. No, do not use the probes when searing. 🍻

#Yoder smokers#pellet grill

#yodersmokers #pelletgrill I'd like to get one of the Lone Star Grillz pellet smokers, as they seem to be in a league of their own in terms of smoke flavor (at least prior to the ones that let you put actual wood chunks in there... but IMO if you're going to put a piece of wood in there every 20-60 minutes, you may as well just use an offset). It also has some common sense design decisions I love, like the ash basket just being removable and easily dumped without having to take everything out of it. They sell an insert you can put in it that lets you direct grill with charcoal as well. They use FireBoard technology. I've done a lot of research, and it just seems like it's the best pellet smoker on the market if you want to use it like a pellet smoker (set it and forget it). Still, that is a long ways off, if ever. I need to get the deck rebuilt and expanded, then I'd like to get a KK... so who knows how long all that will take to save up for.
