I am trying to decide between a Yoder ys640, Treager timberline 850 or the GMG Prime Daniel Boone, do you have any tips for me on this one?
I just go my Yoder YS640s this week, an early Christmas present. I have the best wife ever!
Just acquired a set of the Grill Grates and used them on my Oklahoma Joe's Highland offset smoker. Outstanding results, the 16.25" Grill Grates fit in the fire box and allow cooking directly over the charcoal fire without the worry about flare-ups. The Grill Grates also fit in the cooking chamber. Although Chef Tom is a powerful voice for the Yoder pellet grills, I am leaning towards the Lone Star Grillz offset smoker products for my retirement smoker. Whatever you use, get a set of the Grill Grates and enjoy the next step up in your BBQ experience.
I’m considering one of the YS’ but have some concerns…
(1) What do I need to buy extra to be able to smoke a brisket and also to set dual zone grilling?
(2) It seems that some people have significant rust/paint issues with only a couple of years of use.
(3) Any issues with searing? That is, where does the fat go? How do we clean/maintain mess from searing? Does it drip right into the fire and auger outlet?
(4) Where can I see one? I’m in Houston!
I’m pretty sure Chef Tom has convinced more people to buy a Yoder than anyone else (I know I’m losing about 3k out of my wallet next month).
I hope he gets a big thank you from Yoder and Grill Grates! 🙂
i can't decide on a 480 or 640. Could you help me decide please? i have a green egg already so I didn't want to buy the bigger one; however, I heard there's something I can't do with the 480 that I can with the 640. Thanks in advance!
Does that Yoder get hot enough to do a traditional napoletina style pizza?
What kind of grill grates are those?
Very informative, thanks for taking the time to make this video bud…
Does Direct Grilling cause any paint peeling issues?
I want to buy one but do they only ship in the us?
How does this compare to a large kamodo grill with a cyberq controller for a jack of all trades cooker? I don't want to buy a smoker and grill.
Tom, could you please do an episode "whole hog" on the YS640? Keep up the good work. You have some of the best BBQ videos out there.
It would be nice to see all the assories installed and explained before I buy them. I'm ready to order but haven't a clue on what's optional and if I will use then.
When grilling things at 600 degrees do you chew through the pellets? I'd love an all-in-one unit to do everything from low n slow to burgers and snags. I'd love a Yoder but am thinking that you using the pellet grill in the direct grilling setup would not be efficient in regards to fuel use.
Anyone have anything to inform me on this?
Nice video. Why didn't you just show the 2 piece diffuser? A lot easier than having to take out all of the grates and the blank pan. That 2 piece makes it great for reverse searing too!! Thanks for the video.
.Nice tip there Tom. I have a few weber kettles and a couple have grill grates, they are awesome. No flare up even with chicken and burgers..The sear marks on a steak is unbeatable..a well made product. nice review, Thanks.
Would love a cleaning and maintenance video on the Yoders. I clean my regularly, but it's still a mess compared to yours.
Where does all the grease go? Does it just drip in the bottom or does something catch it?
Calvin: Chef Tom what is the best way to grill pull chicken and how can I order some of the seasoning u use
Just a couple questions. What setting for the sliding baffle? All the way out to the right or ?? Lid open or closed for your grilling?? Thanks for a great video!
How does the meat run off affect the burner?
Okay so I'm not ready to go to the dark side yet but, I would like more info on the ys1500, set up for smoking, proper set up with the adjustable plate and so on. A few videos would be cool.
Never regretted getting the YS640. Absolutely love it.
I learn something every time I watch these videos…Thanks so much Tom.
The YS480 is my dream grill.
