yoder

Hi Group, I am seasoning my new Yoder Cheyenne and noticed a bunch of leakage around the main chamber, fire box and smoke stack where the tube enters the chamber. (it is not welded on as i think they did that to save on shipping maybe) I read that some people seal their main off set chamber...

Gentlemen, I've searched for this on the forum, but mainly find comparisons between the Maverick 1250 and the ys640. I already know that I'm really wanting the ys1500 over the ys640 in a buy once cry once mentality, mainly because I could use the capacity a couple times a year and I love the...

I just joined the The BBQ-B. I don’t have a lot of smoking experience. I’ve playing around with smoking, mostly ribs, on my old Weber gas grill using a smoke box. Decent results on ribs but I can’t get it to cook low enough for brisket. It gets done and has a good smoke ring but I can’t let...

School has had me very busy the past couple of months, so I've been away from the Brethren. So, here is my reboot. A friend of mine can't eat beef anymore. But bison is on the approved list of proteins. So I decided to give bison brisket a try. It's a pricey piece, and very lean. I gave it...

Last week I went down and hung out with T-roy Cooks, James from Aim em and Claim em smokers (channel & bbq team), and David from Adrenaline BBQ Company. We shot a video for Dave in the morning and then he had to catch a flight so he only makes a brief cameo. After that we cooked 3 racks of...

The title kinda says it all. T-roy and I traveled to Lincoln to meet Dan Robertson (SmokeyGoodness) and we watched the eclipse. It was one of the most amazing things I've seen in my life. There is some great coverage because we had 7 different cameras and swapped out footage. Stay with it...

Sorry Guys... I know this has been posted (or variations of this question) a million times. I'm getting married in the fall and my fiancé has given me the green light for a grill/smoker. I can spend up to $1500 on one, so I want to take full advantage of the opportunity! Relatively new to...

I have a Lang offset which I really like the flavor of the way she smokes but it takes time and effort. There are times when I just can't spend that much effort cooking. I do a couple of competitions per year so pit mobility is important. I am considering adding a pit that would be less effort...

So my buddy Troy just posted a video of this 26 pound Bone-in brisket we cooked together about a week ago. The thing is a monster. Biggest one I've ever seen. We smoked it for 24 hours on his Yoder offset except for a little bit of time (you'll see in the video...i won't ruin it.) Bone-in...

All, After reading here and elsewhere for months and doing a good bit of research, I've finally taken the plunge and ordered a YS640 Competition cart model from All Things BBQ. So now I'm stuck with the five-to-seven-week wait. Since I really have to do something to pass the time, I thought...

Set alarm for 12 and labeled it "brisket fire" on my phone. I was so groggy and out of it that when I read it I thought I already had my brisket on and that it was calling me telling me it was on fire!:doh: WAKE UP! Ok on to this throwing of ye brisket (which almost came true when I put it on in...

Hello all I am new to this forum but have been smoking for a while now. My question is about the taste of food from a pellet smoke. I am considering buying a yoder ys640 and have never ate anything cooked or smoked on a pellet grill before. Is there a distinct flavor or weird flavor that is only...

So I'm taking a crack at the whole brisket thing.....again. I had planned to do just a point because those I can do but the butcher took a dollar off per pound if I took the whole thing. So um yeah here I am. This will be 348th brisket (:tongue:)but the first one on my Yoder that I got last...

First Hello to the board from a total newb.. Has anyone used one, and if so how did you like it vs a charcoal fed unit? I'm trying to narrow down my search base. I've been looking at many different types of smokers from pellet to RF to vert off set you name it. This will be my first smoker so...

She's all lubed up and ready for her first fire! I'm so proud!:bounce: It's up to 250 in only 15 minutes which I was shocked to see. Any tips are GREATLY appreciated and wanted! One thing I'm noticing is is that my splits are too big I think. I have the firebox side door open and some...

I am in the market for a new stick burner and have narrowed it to the Yoder Loaded Witchita and the Peoria 24 X 48 backyard cooker. I think they both have pluses and not a lot of negatives but love to hear everyone else's thoughts? I am sure there is another thread like this but I couldn't...

A little late on posting this, but my new YS640 with the comp cart showed up last week. Packed beautifully from All Things BBQ it arrived at my home with no damage other than a few worn areas of the black paint that will easily touch up. Unpacked the grill accessory kit that came with it...

So, my son came home from school this weekend, so I decided to give him a bit of home grub (anti-cafeteria food) while we watched the games today. This weekend's menu starred a two-bone beef rib roast. Seasoned with Kosher salt, Black Pepper and then a healthy dusting of Bovine Bold...

I was grocery shopping the other day and passed the brisket flats. I decided to just buy one at a premium price and give it a try this weekend. I have cooked a lot of BBQ, but not many briskets. This will only be my third one and the other two were whole packers that came out really good. I...

Well, after “Operation Cooker Purge”, I have my two new cookers. The flagship cooker of which is the Yoder Smokers YS1500 pellet smoker/grill. I initially wanted a YS1320 when I bought my YS640 back in February, but it just didn’t work out. A few months ago Yoder discontinued the YS1320 in...
