I keep my smokers in a storage building that is somewhat a PITA when I want to cook but it keeps them out of the elements , my offset is a bayou classic but I have already made my mind up if and when I ever get another stick burner it will be a LSG offset horizontal ( I like the taste of the food to well that comes off the bayou ) so I figure I will just get a lot nicer version of what I have. I have been thinking about building a shed roof off of my building and keeping my smokers under that so I can cook where they set and mostly keep them out of the elements but I am afraid of smoker thieves but may gay ahead and do it, who knows lol ....

They're saying on the Photobucket Screw Job thread that if you've ever had any kind of paid account on PB you have until December 2018 to use your existing account, after which you'll need to upgrade to the $399.99 account or your photos will no longer work on 3rd party sites.
I never had a paid account, so I guess that's why my photos were broken on day one.

Don't want to get too excited but there is an update on the Yoder blog that there is a new firebox air intake in test at Yoder that should finish next week. Is it possible this is the silver bullet many of us have been waiting for?

An employee by the name of Joe Phillips posted something on Facebook August 8th on this topic. In the group Team Yoder Smokers, he said, and I quote, "We have heard our user base and will be making a few tweaks in the next production run of cookers." I think Slamkeys played a large role in getting this design updated.

The comment about the Yoder enhancement is down the bottom of this thread. Hopefully they are going to post more details about it and wheher other existing customers can buy it?

Joe Phillips is more than an employee. Here's a clip from an interview with Yoder owner Don Cary:

That's a very good post by OP and they are thoroughly explaining their constant problems with their Cheyenne. I had the same issues and the only way to cook on it was with the firebox door open. I wonder how Yoder is going to handle the "fix" for current Cheyenne / Wichita owners.

I wonder what Yoder forum employee "Yoder_Herb" will have to say about the new FACTORY modifications....after having told one and all that any problems involving fire-and-a-Cheyenne are, and exclusively.....the operators fault. That, and one has to make sure to burn only extra-special kiln dried wood. That, and one has to (constantly) rotate the entire cooker so the air intake will face directly into the wind. It all speaks to credibility.
That said, I applaud Yoder for making improvements to this line of smokers. I hope it will now join the ranks of other great-functioning Yoder cookers! |

I remember watching that video when I first became interested in a Yoder. It gave me the impression that they were using the most high-tech equipment for building the offsets too, but when I called Yoder about ordering my offset they told me the offsets were all cut and fabricated by hand.
I almost bought a YS640, but the electrical components were a deal breaker for me because of frequent power outages and rainy weather around here. I see now that Yoder has been hyper-focused on the pellet cookers because that's where the real consumer demand is. The Yoder Facebook page is packed with posts from pellet cooker owners, and Don Cary acknowledges the YS640 as his top seller: Quote:

Don't all offsets have issues if wind blows from the stack end to the firebox end? Intake insufficiency aside...that doesn't seem like a Yoder issue.
