This thread definitely makes me want to buy one! Every thing you say about the pit makes it seem like an absolute dream cooker.

Well, I can't promise that it is or would be for everyone, because everyone's expectations are different, but it is for me. But as far as evenness and heat control are concerned, the biscuits don't lie.

They also make extremely good stick burners on comp carts, if your a stick guy. I have both and between the 2, I love the flexibility I have.
They can paint it any color you want, heck we thought doing a flame job for the paint but decided that was well over the top. One thing to keep in mind, the paint will get nicked, scratched etc....its just life dealing with something that is that big, bulky, and weighs that much, so dont paint it with a color thats hard to touch up. Also, they can cut logo plates out with just about any logo/wording you want on your pit. Something to keep in mind. Here is what I mean.... and the back.... Sorry for the thread jack....lol

No hijack at all! I'll look at a Kingman CC all day long and yours is awesome!. It's either a Kingman CC or a Chisholm II when I am able and ready to get back to burning sticks.
I think the results would be identical if you were to perform the biscuit tests on your Kingman since the heat distribution method and controls are the same. Everything I've said here would apply to your pit I would imagine (with the exception of pellet consumption and related topics of course).

Oh you just quit now. You don't really care about the YS1500. Fess up. I mean, you went out and bought ANOTHER redhead after getting rid of your first one BECAUSE of the Yoder...

One of the pleasures of selling " higher end " BBQ equipment is dealing with customers who have done their homework and are always wanting to know if I have cooked on a particular model or if I know of someone that has. I cook on each Mfg of Smoker I sell but not necessarily each model. The 1500 is in a class of itself and sure looks like it justifies it's price tag. I will be referring prospective customers to this thread. Thanks again nu

Well thanks to this thread, I'm ordering a YS1500 tomorrow from Tom @ Yoder.
I've decided on: YS1500 with a Silver Cart 2 x Probe Ports (one on each side of the chamber) Direct Grilling Option (Grill Grates) Modified Smoke Stack so that a portion can be removed to fit in my trailer YS sign on the counter weight 400lbs of pellets Looks like it will be a 4-6 week wait. Please keep up the posts and pics, it will help hold me over until I get this thing. Thanks for this thread, it was a huge help in deciding on my next toy, I mean cooker. |

Congrats on the cooker! You will love it, and I can't wait to see some of your cooks on it. The next 4-6 weeks will be some of the longest of your life. However, the wait will make the arrival that much more sweet! I'm very curious about how it will cook with the GrillGrates. I didn't order any because I use my KJ for most direct cooks, but I really want to see how this cooker performs with those grates. Again, congrats!

Thanks. The YS1500 should be a good fit for me. I may buy the stainless lower grates from Yoder at some point - however adding them now pushed the price above my budget so I figure I can do without that option for now.
I'm not sure how it will grill, but I've read pretty much nothing but good things about Grill Grates. I don't grill very often but I figured for the price it would allow me to the option and give me some extra flexibility with the cooker. Now I just need to sell my other pellet cookers while I wait for this new one. |

Thank you so much for such a detailed write up. That thing seems amazing!!
You may have me thinking about a pellet pooper and I'm a charcoal/stick man myself. "I don't usually make biscuits on my cooker, but when I do I use my YS1500" Just had to put that in there

I called Tom this morning and ordered the YS1500. I cannot wait! What a difference a "thread" makes because a week ago I wasn't going to buy anything!
Now I need to sell my other cookers while I wait for this thing to show up. |
