The Official Pellet Grill Smoker thread.

Yeah I posted in a separate thread that I just picked up a ys 640. I’ll pick it up in May when I get home.

Blackened Mahi on the Memphis. Tried a new rib out of Baltimore I picked up at local butcher shop. Quite good

Just realized we are still using Christmas plates...about time for those to be retired I believe!

As always, your cooks look fantastic! Why put away the plates now, might as well just leave em’ out for Christmas 2019 [emoji41]

Dammit, Jeremy, I've bought enough accessories for my DB. Quit posting this stuff! On second thought, let us know how they work!

I just got mine today also, it's not supposed to stop raining until Sunday. I will have to wait to try them out.

So I got my new flame zone! Did some 2 zone cooking today. Started the pork tenderloin out at 300 deg indirect and bumped the temp up 400 deg for a final direct sear.

YUMMO!! Sooo, what are your initial thoughts about the Funnel Flame Zone?

It works better than I thought it would just at 400 deg. I think that’s a good general grilling temp for most things. I’d do 450+ with steak. It’s also pretty heavy duty. I was surprised by how much it weighs. Overall I think it makes the grill run better.

One thing I also appreciate is how even the heat is and big the direct grilling area is. If I wanted to I could char 3 racks of ribs at the same time. Other pellet grill’s flamezones aren’t anywhere that big. They can get hotter sure but I think this is more functional and I’m getting plenty of char with just the stainless grates and I don’t even have it as hot as it will go lol.

Also worth mentioning is the difference between convection and radiant heat. For a test I removed one cover for direct and left one in for indirect and turned the grill to a measly 225 deg. I opened the lid and held my hand over the indirect side. It just felt warm and I could keep my hand there indefinitely. I held my hand over the direct side and could only keep it there for 3 sec before my hand began to sting. Ouch!

That is one thing that really surprised me when I first started cooking w/ the new FZ setup. With both plates removed and cooking at temps of 400° or more, you darn near singe the hair off your arm. As you said, the radiant heat is no joke!

I am impressed. Picked up new YS640 yesterday and did burn in last night. 350 for 1 hour then 400 for 30 minutes just to ensure clean cooking I guess.

Today is maiden voyage. 3 racks spares, 2 pork tenderloins, ham, brisket. Had 2 whole chickens to put on but figured I'd save for another day.

It's finally a nice day out as well so very happy to be doing what we love.

You're gonna love that Yoder. I don't have one, but if I had the $ and room, I would.

Congrats Sean, enjoy!

New guy here and was wondering about temperature swing on a soon to be new to me Pit Boss Austin XL. Say you have it set to 250°, at what point will it turn on to get to the set temp? And then how far over the set temp will it turn off? Just wondering the accuracy of the controller. If I'm in the wrong section please let me know.
