I just purchased a used YS640 on a comp cart in April. I love the thing. I come from a stick burner that I built to this. This is so painless I can't believe it. I didn't mind throwing sticks all night, but this allows me to do so much more while I'm cooking, I love it.

As to the flavor, I agree with another poster that it tastes very similar to a clean burning stick burner, which IMHO is what it's supposed to taste like.

Agree that you will want a small shop vac, and I try to vacuum out mine after every cook.

I don't worry about temps too much. I don't have the 2-piece diffuser, but I grilled some pork chops and did some mac&cheese and green beans at 450, then cooked a brisket at 250. You will love the versatility.
