Could not be more fired up. Saw this little guy... a fully loaded 640 on Craigs and gobbled it up.

Current Firmware, 2-pc Deflector, grill plates, 1/2 top shelf, full top shelf, cover, ports, dual thermos... stoked!

I'm new to this - can't wait to clean her up a bit and go into work Monday smelling like smoke.

Grateful!

Much less than this thing loaded up new, and shipped to me. :tongue:

(hint: 4 digits less....)

Super stoked. I mean, it has everything but the cart. And seeing as its going to sit on my covered porch, the cart would only add to its badassery - for my first Yoder, I'm fine with this. I'll BA my next one. :wink:

Picked up some Hickory pellets from HD. Fired it up - all good. Smokey goodness. There's a proper BBQ shop not too far from here - I'll grab some pecan and some higher quality hickory this weekend.

In closing
Gotta say - the guy I bought this from was awesome on all levels. He took the time to show it to me (driving half an hour to his storage area) - so I could check it out. Looked good... normal usage for a 2015 model.

After further research, I Venmo'd a deposit. A few days later I went back today - he had a trailer waiting, he delivered to my house, unloaded it, took it to the back yard, fired it up, showed me the basics...

We're talking about a Craigger here. :shocked: Dude went MORE than the extra mile. Coolest Craigger ever.

Super excited.

Gonna grill steaks tonight (all I have here...) and tomorrow we shop for Brisket and likely some other stuff, too.

Can't wait.

Love the forum. Been lurking for a couple of weeks as I've been considering what to buy. In SoCal we grill everything... but generally charcoal or propane.

This is going to be a fun learning curve. So grateful I stumbled on the Yoder this week.

Congratulations on a great deal! Saw you post this on a Yoder group on FB. Plenty of YS640 users around here!

Great find. I’m not a cat person, but If I was I think me and Miguel would be best friends. Great photo.
