is Blowin Smoke!
I used an A-maze-n smoke tube.
Have you tried it without the smoke tube? I find they tend to add dirty smoke.

And a chain. :becky:Congrats on the cooker. You have a lot of great meals ahead. If you are going to leave it in the yard, I hope you bought a cover for it.
Looking for those of you with pellet poopers. Knowing what I cook, how often, where this will sit....do you think a YS640 Comp is the way to go or would you know of anything else I should look over before pulling the trigger.
Semper Fi.

congatulations !!!!! enjoy !!! but ... where's the cigar and drink ?
No, I've only done one session with the new smoker and I used the smoke tube. The turkey didn't look sooty or anything. Given the success of the test turkey, I'm not going to change anything for Christmas. Perhaps in the future.Have you tried it without the smoke tube? I find they tend to add dirty smoke.

How did you cook scrambled eggs on grill grates? Mine have holes in them.
Posting up in here looking for persuasion one way or another. Sold my Humphreys Pint and looking to get something new. YS640 competition is catching my eye. I've read every page in this thread, countless internet sites, had hands on with one. I do like em.
But
Is this the only way to go? No. When Rib Rub got his pooper last year or so, I followed that thread and heck it sold him on em so why not give em a go. I believe a Mak just arrived to your place not too long ago so that had me thinking. YS640, Mak 1 or 2 Star, something else?? I just dont know.
I cook and love to smoke. Try to every week. Multiple racks ribs, butts, briskets, chicken, sausage and anything else I can fit.
The cooker would sit under a cover but could get wet time to time. I clean often so junk wont just sit in them.

The things I see as different between the 480 and 640 is 8 inches cooking width (160 square inches) and the internal damper on the bottom of the fire box. While I was at the dealer shop talking to the shop owner and there was 640 owner there, too. Both own the 640 and said they really don’t play with the damper at all. It pretty much stays all the way open. I’m sure some people adjust it but it sounded like if you didn’t have it you wouldn’t miss it.Hey WatchManUSA. Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. I am definitely looking for American made. I do need to take a closer look at the 480. I really dig the 640 but for the price and my usage, the 480 may do it.

Bigger pit = bigger pellet burn. It becomes less fun when you're running through $20 of pellets every time you fire the grill. I rarely fire my Jim Bowie for that reason, especially since I've got way more efficient cookers now.
Personally, I think the PG500/1000 are some of the best cookers on the market...American made in Ponca City, OK.
