Shout out Chef Tom!

One thing I do on my yoder while baking is... put baking item top center, and right below it, I place a foil pan with 1/2 Inch of water. Prevents hard brown on bottom. The temp swing is due to opening and closing the lid as you probably know. The program on the yoder will try to hunt hard when the temp gets outside of a 50° range. Hope you enjoy it I have had mine for 4 years and it still looks new and works great.

​@@ChudsBbqI run an LSG, but it also has a fireboard. Check out the lid detection settings. It'll detect the fast temp drop and will pause feeding to prevent aggressive attempts at temperature recovery. You can customize the pause time. You'll still get an overshoot on temp, but much less than without lid detection

I didn’t read the whole comment section but wanted to give my 2 cents. In my experience, the Pellet Grill reads temps through its mechanics, when you open the door and heat releases, it pushes pellets through to get the heat back up, but it doesn’t KNOW that the door is open, so often that will lead to a really high swing. Sometimes I’ll turn down my temps by about 20 degrees when I’m planning to go check my cook to avoid that spike, and then reset it to my desired temp after I close the door.

I got the same one a few months ago cooked everything from burgers to brisket, pork butt ect and holy smokes has it been nothing but flawless. Couldn’t be happier.

Bradley, the Yoder is a very nice machine. You need to get a Lone Star Grillz Pellet! Burn 50% pellets and 50% wood chips. Stick burning smoke flavor with ease. Does all the Yoder does, but better and pizza!

Welcome to the Yoder pellet grill family. The pizza oven attachment is a must get if you don’t have it yet. It cooks a brisket really well. Not the same flavor you would get off your offset but still works really well. One of the best things I have made on it was also a smoked burger with the trimmings from the brisket when we did an overnight cook on a brisket.

We now need that Chef Tom and Bradley collab!

About the only pellet grill that may slightly edge out the Yoder is Lone Star Grillz pellet smoker.

So cool hearing my favorite BBQ chefs working together! Congrats on the new smoker, would love to see you put it through the paces and recipes you come up with.

Another idea on the bacon issue that’s killer on burgers, take those bacon bits and combine with highly caramelized onions and some bourbon or maple to make a bacon jam. And then add as a topping. Top notch.

Love my Yoder! Had it since 2017. Chef Tom is the man!

temps on the 640 swing around initially but after it finds it's groove it's pretty consistent. Also the B&B Comp pellets have become my go-to, burns hot and clean :-)

I honestly don't know which one of you I've seen more videos from. You or chef Tom.... But, thanks to yous guys, my backyard BBQ game is a winner... 99.999% of the time...

I like how you're not afraid to break trends for a video and go back to basics. Bacon Cheeseburger sounds perfect right now!

I love the chef Tom and Joe shout outs! They are so great

Yoder FireBoard has a feature where you can switch between +\- 15 degree and +\- 5 degrees and can easily be toggled between the two if not paying attention. Also, in my experience having the grill grates in place while not doing high temp cooks does not allow the thermometer to read as accurately due to the intense heat coming off the plates under the thermometer.

I have this pellet grill. It's amazing. The controller learns as you cook and it will get really consistent with temps. I've had it swing +/- 5 degrees during cooks. It's a beast.

Am I the only one who noticed his devilish giggle when he said 420? 😅

You and Chef Tom are awesome

You and chef tom have been some of my biggest inspirations when it comes to bbq! Been watching both channels for years and honestly, i bought my Yoder ys640s during Covid because of All Things BBQ. The smoker will kinda "learn" during the first few cooks. Temps swing will subside over time. Also make sure to adjust your damper on the bottom. I pull mine out about 6 to 7 inches and it helps spread the heat evenly across the whole grill.

congratulations on the Yoder! I've cooked many of your recipes on my YS640 over the years, and we absolutely love it!

That was one of the better if not best Nate in my boot bits I’ve seen you do

The bacon test is brilliant to find hot spots, and you have bacon.

I've had that same model since 2019 and it has never failed.

I've been looking at the Yoder for about 4 years and finally bought one in March. I love this grill, smoker, whatever you want to call it. It does not cook like an offset which we all know but puts out some damn good food! Bear Mountain is my go to pellet.

Great video! I'd love to see more Yoder stuff, both cooks and how you like to use the smoker. Love my Yoder, but also prefer to see YOUR recommendations on all things cooking!

I have had my eye on that exact pellet cooker for over a year. Definitely a great edition to your smoker/cooker arsenal! Can't wait to see some cooks on that thing. Like you said, Smoking Joe has had a couple and loves them.

I would try putting a slice of cheese on the bottom bun on top of the bacon bits that way the residual heat from the patty melts the cheese and also keeps the bacon bits together.

Love it as always thanks for the video

As a passionate lover of both BBQ and burgers …. I’ve never seen anything as beautiful as this..🥹

We love our YS640s. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Looking forward to more cooks with it!

@@percyhudson3394 I had to look those B&B ones up as I never heard of them and found at ACE hardware for like $33 a 40lb bag. Seems pricey, but then again I buy direct and usually get 1 or 2 skids to save coin and split with buddies or sell on the side for like $15/bag tax included for 40lbs. I think locally Lumberjack by me in Wisc they sell for avg $23 or so for a 40lbr in most stores. Could be cheaper for me since most shipped from Hayward, WI. Lumberjack trimmed the fat so to speak on the flavors they carry vs what they had several years ago and starting to go to the 20lb bags and slightly more money. But usually delivered to loading dock can get for under $13 a big bag fyi... I like the Hickory, competition and supreme blends along with Cherry and Pecan if they continue carrying it. Bear Mountain is made not far from me also in Wisc but just don't care for that one as much. Sold in Fleet farms, etc..

Just got a Yoder a few weeks ago too! Love it

That’s a real life crabby patty! It looks so perfect.

Royal Oak Charcoal Pellets...They are awesome and don't have any storage issues with weather/moisture and burn cleaner/hotter. I usually mix a little Kirkland/Costco pellets into the mix as well.

I've had my YS640 for 8 years now, and I've gotten good use out of it. I did have to do a repaint this past year, but that was my fault (lost the cover in the last move). Enjoy!!!

Brad- I’m so happy you are part of the Yoder family now. I really hope you do a lot of your content using the Yoder. Chef Tom is great, but I often find myself trying to replicate your recipes you do on your chudbox, on my YS640s- It would be great to see how they translate to Yoder.

I've been chopping bacon and putting it under the cheese and it's been awesome. My kids had trouble biting through my new hobby of homemade bacon.

Love this channel. I made this exact burger after I watched the original version you did in your offset, as I only have access to a pellet grill. Only difference was I mixed short rib meat with the brisket when I did my grind. This was hands down the best burger I've had in a very long time.

I use them all, different tools for different jobs. That burger looks darn good. 👍🏻

Welcome to the YS 640S crew. It’s a stud. Try the wood fired oven attachment … you’ll get rid of your new pizza oven at the CHUD shop

Looks amazing!

Joe from Smokin' Joes Pit BBQ has used the Smokin' Pecan pellets many times in his videos and has had impressive results. They produce a good amount of smoke and pound for pound last longer than other types of pellets. It's made with all natural pecan shells, no binders.

Atta boy Brad! Welcome to the Yoder family, that 640 will serve you well! The controller is tuned for BBQr's delight hickory pellets, if you run a different brand of pellet run some ambient probes in the chamber and adjust the temps on the controller to really dial it in. It also really likes to be clean around the burn pot, 3-4 good long cooks get the ash out and it'll run like a champ.

Looking delish!!

I wanted that grill for years, same model too! That's one of those "if I win the lottery" grills for me.

Welcome to the Yoder club, I have the exact same one it’s awesome 🙌

I have been dying for some thick boy burgers!!!!

Good smoker choice. I loved mine because it does split duty between grill and smoker better than any other pellet smoker that I’ve tried in the past. The app is amazing. The smoker uses a lot more fuel due to its heavy construction. It also is far more prone to overshooting as you are already experiencing. the best tip I can give you is this: when you turn the smoker on, it defaults to a certain temp (can’t currently remember because i sold mine a while back). Allow the smoker to reach this temp and regulate for a few minutes before inputting your new temp setting. The smoker will respond and regulate better. Use the bottom damper to even out side to side temperature fluctuations. My smokers happy spot was about 1/2 way out, maybe a little farther. Best pellets for me out of the ones that I’ve tried are Bear Mountain, B&B, and Lumberjack. Cooking Pellets are good but not appreciably better than the others I listed. Certainly not worth the extra money they cost.

Shoutout to Chef Tom, legend in the game! P.S.: It would also be really cool if I had a Yoder YS640S pellet grill, just sayin' : )

That bun was cut to perfection. wonder how the other buns looks. lol Great vid! :)

I have a ys640s as well. Absolutely love that thing. It hasn't replaced my offset, by any means but like you mentioned I use it as an oven replacement. I do love the ribs that it puts out. The best thing it does though is reverse sear a steak. One trick I've found for getting more smoke flavor on it is throwing small wood chunks in the pellet hopper. A slight inconvenience having to leave the area above the access door open, but well worth it.

It’s a little odd to see you posting pellet grill vids can but I got hooked on your channel over your Weber Kettle series, which I’m sure other people couldn’t care less about either. So keep growing the channel and cooking delicious food outside!

I loved his Weber kettle series also. Not everyone has offset smokers and such, so I also enjoy watching people use different cookers, and a lot can be accomplished with a simple Weber kettle, not to mention pellet grills, open fire cooking, or even....... ( God help me not get shot at here 🙏!!! ) gas grills . I use and have fun with them all. 😉

Great video! That's a lot of flies.

Great choice, I love my Yoder! Like you said, all the other pellet grills I have seen and used seem cheap and flimsy relative to the Yoder pellet grills. Excited to see all the ways you use yours.

Hey Brad! No better Pellets than the B&B Post Oak!!! Made in Texas and pure wood. Thanks for the breakdown on the Yoder - my subscribers ask about it a lot.

Damn, that burger looked fantastic 😋

I too have a YS640s. The door will not shut completely when the GillGrates are installed. This allows heat to escape and the temps to fluctuate, not a big deal when you are grilling but not good for baking or smoking. Remove the GrillGrates for longer, more steady cooks.

The two best Pellet brands are Lumber jack and Bear Mountain. Knotty Wood is a ok 3rd. I use Hickory most of the time. Also using a smoke tube with a 50/50 mix of pellets and wood chips will help. It will not replace a stick burner at all. But will add a better flavor and color.

So a few things I thought of, 1) instead of bacon bits, what if you used a bacon pepper jelly on the bottom? It sounds really good to me. 2) I'd recommend the Lone Star Grill's pellet smoker over the Yoder, GMG or other mass produced hardware.

Hey Bradly, I bought one of the cheapest big box store pellet smokers out there: an "Pit Boss Austin XL. The OEM P.I.D. controller on the thing keeps perfect temperatures within a 20 degree range. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't have a TellTru thermometer on it. It's also built surprisingly sturdy. The thing weighs 225 out of the box. I've now had it for almost 3 years and so far so good. 🤞

I do need one just to cook during the summer

Enjoyed the video, I’ve had my YS640S over 6 months and use it 5 times a week. I found when using the grill grates I leave the other 2 grates off the bottom then just slide the 3 connected grill grates to the right exposing the fire box door. I use an extended reach right angle needle nose pliers to move the door to the right opening and exposing the firebox. Then just slide the grill grates back over to the left. I have tried most name brand pellets including Knottywood Plummond which gives the best smoke ring but also the largest temperature swings. I have also used lumberjack, royal oak charcoal, pecan shell smokin pecan pellets. I favor jealous devil Jax pellets clean burn, decent smoke and less temperature swings. You may want the half shelf for the top also the pizza oven attachment works really well great for chicken wings in a lodge cast iron baking pan. The Yoder cover fits like a glove and is heavy duty.

Thats a great looking burger!

Those are THE pellets!! Great video - thank you!

I've experimented with a lot of different pellet brands. B&B are the only ones i use now. Everything about them is better than any other pellet I've tried.

YES SIR, Looks like a great burger.

I love my Yoder YS640! You’ll love brisket on it as well as spatchcock chicken. For beef I use a 50/50 mix of mesquite and charcoal pellets. It’s no offset but you’ll get just as good of a smoke ring and more free time.

I have been running my Yoder ys for about 6 years now. Its a tank and puts out good food ;)

Chef Tom hooked you up. Looking forward to your future collaboration.

Never used this particular model of pellet grill, but a cheap pizza stone and a water pan works womders for stabilizing the temp within a +/- 10⁰ range just like any offset.

Damn dude, you bought a Yoder! Enjoy and I’m looking forward to the videos!

I have a yoder 480s, its a TANK. Such a good pellet grill. I cook everything on it, the only complaint I have is as with most pellet cooking, the smoke flavor is very light.

Could you do a simple week night dinner series using the pellet smoker? Would love more ideas for easy smoked dinners that can be done after working all day. Still love the more involved cooks, but usually reserve those for like the weekends/holidays/parties/etc.

Yoder’s are amazing! Try playing the adjustable damper to even out the pit. I set mine 6 inches from the stack. Also, double check your Yoder is connected to your house’s Wi-Fi for your app.

I've had mine for 7 years and so far so good. The only thing I'll recommend is a smoke tube, especially when smoking a brisket; adds more flavor! Also, I had more compliments about my briskets smoked in the yoder than my briskets smoked in my pitmaker bbq safe! Sad but true! Lol! Go Yoder!

Lookin' good. Cheers, Bradley! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
