Is lookin for wood to cook with.
I am considering buying a pellet smoker and have spent weeks looking at info on various sites...till my head hurts. I have narrowed it down to Yoder YS640s competition or possibly the 1500. My question is what is the reasonable cooking capacity of the 640? If I wanted to do 2 14lb brisket packers and 2 9lb butts in the 640 would it have to be shoe horned and with out compromising air flow? If 640 could handle that much no real need on my part for 1500. How bad is the paint issue I read about on these units? I live in Texas and curious about freight charges...ball park anyway. I see there are dealers and wonder if they have units in stock or how purchases work.
Also considering Pitts and Spitts 1250. I think the Yoder's look sexy on the competition carts but suspect the P&S is probably the better built unit, a bit more capacity than the YS640 and cheaper than the YS1500. But the cart with Yoder looks pretty handy.
And dragging up the rear is and fading fast is Rec Tec RT700. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Never seen any of these in action and coming from 14 years of smoking on WSM's I think I would love the more convenient access to all the grates and an increase in capacity.
