    One thing I do on my yoder while baking is... put baking item top center, and right below it, I place a foil pan with 1/2 Inch of water. Prevents hard brown on bottom. The temp swing is due to opening and closing the lid as you probably know. The program on the yoder will try to hunt hard when the temp gets outside of a 50° range. Hope you enjoy it I have had mine for 4 years and it still looks new and works great.

    I didn’t read the whole comment section but wanted to give my 2 cents. In my experience, the Pellet Grill reads temps through its mechanics, when you open the door and heat releases, it pushes pellets through to get the heat back up, but it doesn’t KNOW that the door is open, so often that will lead to a really high swing. Sometimes I’ll turn down my temps by about 20 degrees when I’m planning to go check my cook to avoid that spike, and then reset it to my desired temp after I close the door.

    Yoder FireBoard has a feature where you can switch between +\- 15 degree and +\- 5 degrees and can easily be toggled between the two if not paying attention.
    Also, in my experience having the grill grates in place while not doing high temp cooks does not allow the thermometer to read as accurately due to the intense heat coming off the plates under the thermometer.

      @@percyhudson3394 I had to look those B&B ones up as I never heard of them and found at ACE hardware for like $33 a 40lb bag. Seems pricey, but then again I buy direct and usually get 1 or 2 skids to save coin and split with buddies or sell on the side for like $15/bag tax included for 40lbs. I think locally Lumberjack by me in Wisc they sell for avg $23 or so for a 40lbr in most stores. Could be cheaper for me since most shipped from Hayward, WI. Lumberjack trimmed the fat so to speak on the flavors they carry vs what they had several years ago and starting to go to the 20lb bags and slightly more money. But usually delivered to loading dock can get for under $13 a big bag fyi... I like the Hickory, competition and supreme blends along with Cherry and Pecan if they continue carrying it. Bear Mountain is made not far from me also in Wisc but just don't care for that one as much. Sold in Fleet farms, etc..

    The two best Pellet brands are Lumber jack and Bear Mountain. Knotty Wood is a ok 3rd. I use Hickory most of the time. Also using a smoke tube with a 50/50 mix of pellets and wood chips will help. It will not replace a stick burner at all. But will add a better flavor and color.

    Papa’s Premium Pellets have been a really good quality pellet for me. Consistent temps and low ash. I have had my 640 for almost 9 years now. I upgraded to the new FireBoard controller 2 or 3 years ago and she’s still running well. They are built very well. I usually smoke on the top shelf and get higher temps closer to the stack as the hot air flows across. I keep the heat damper pulled back from the fire box only 3 inches or so. Once the box is heated up it usually holds pretty consistent temps during the cook. Overall a happy customer, pellet box could use a dump feature though.

  • @wrenchdoctor1482
    @wrenchdoctor1482 День тому

    Good smoker choice. I loved mine because it does split duty between grill and smoker better than any other pellet smoker that I’ve tried in the past. The app is amazing. The smoker uses a lot more fuel due to its heavy construction. It also is far more prone to overshooting as you are already experiencing. the best tip I can give you is this: when you turn the smoker on, it defaults to a certain temp (can’t currently remember because i sold mine a while back). Allow the smoker to reach this temp and regulate for a few minutes before inputting your new temp setting. The smoker will respond and regulate better.
    Use the bottom damper to even out side to side temperature fluctuations. My smokers happy spot was about 1/2 way out, maybe a little farther.
    Best pellets for me out of the ones that I’ve tried are Bear Mountain, B&B, and Lumberjack. Cooking Pellets are good but not appreciably better than the others I listed. Certainly not worth the extra money they cost.

    I have had a Yoder for quite a while...great pellet and nice being able to run a cook all night for a early lunch cookout with family and actually getting some sleep. The fluctations are from how the system works. I typically start mine at 198-200 and when it gets close I put on meat so it will have more smoke...as not as efficient at low temps. Then push to my cooking temp for rest of time after 30 min or an hour with the smoke. It takes a while for it to stabilize as it will over shoot your set temp and then settle down. If you have the damper set right....and let it get to temp then just leave it alone and it will cycle up and down to simulate a wood fired smoker...but if you keep chasing temps you will never like it. Just set temp and go. The temp sensor is near lower rack so that is where it is at temp...if cooking brisket or something on top rack will be a 15* difference depending on humidity and temp where you are. I do reverse sears on mine....use as grill and everything from wings, to brisket to pork belly, beef cheeks, turkey, etc. I am sure you have plenty of people to help you get it dialed in and such but happy to help if needed.

    Although never advertised by Yoder, I also use my YS640S with charcoal. Remove bottom grates and place charcoal on heat diffuser. Turn on Yoder, but don't hit the start button - this will provide airflow without igniting pellets. Then cook on top shelf either direct or offset. Sometimes you just need that charcoal flavor. Great vid - you and Tom Jackson are my go-to BBQ channels. Thanks from New England!

    Atta boy Brad! Welcome to the Yoder family, that 640 will serve you well! The controller is tuned for BBQr's delight hickory pellets, if you run a different brand of pellet run some ambient probes in the chamber and adjust the temps on the controller to really dial it in. It also really likes to be clean around the burn pot, 3-4 good long cooks get the ash out and it'll run like a champ.

    I too have a YS640s. The door will not shut completely when the GillGrates are installed. This allows heat to escape and the temps to fluctuate, not a big deal when you are grilling but not good for baking or smoking. Remove the GrillGrates for longer, more steady cooks.

    What I've heard about that grill is that they take a lot longer to come up to temp due to the thickness of the steel they use. They also consume a lot of pellets

  • @johnstroup3191

    Good looking burger and hella pellet smoker/grill. One thing to add flavor is charcoal pellets. Some people mix in their hopper 15-20%. I just use an extra smoke tube for the charcoal pellets. Love your show!

  • @zeddik99
    @zeddik99 11 днів тому +1

    10:30 they tend to overcompensate when the lid is open for a long period of time. I don't have a Yoder, but my Recteq will start dumping in more pellets if the temp drops for long enough, then it swings up too high for a time. Not sure why yours takes so long to warm up. You might check with Yoder.

    There is a way you can adjust the temp swing range. Between 5-25 degrees. Also, it will swing considerably more if it's not setup for indirect. Heat deflector in place, and the damper all the way out. Was hard to tell in the video how you had it set up.

    I've tried almost every brand of pellet out there, B&B, Bear Mountain, Kingsford, Lumberjack, etc.. Hands down, Papa's Premium (which I also sourced from my local HEB) have been the absolute most flavorful pellets I've used. Haven't seen them back at my local HEB yet, but I found they can be ordered online.

    I have a ys640s as well. Absolutely love that thing. It hasn't replaced my offset, by any means but like you mentioned I use it as an oven replacement. I do love the ribs that it puts out. The best thing it does though is reverse sear a steak. One trick I've found for getting more smoke flavor on it is throwing small wood chunks in the pellet hopper. A slight inconvenience having to leave the area above the access door open, but well worth it.

Ooey, gooey, brisket-y goodness. If you'd like to see the grill performance, let me know and I'll send you the screenshot from the fireboard app.

    So a few things I thought of, 1) instead of bacon bits, what if you used a bacon pepper jelly on the bottom? It sounds really good to me. 2) I'd recommend the Lone Star Grill's pellet smoker over the Yoder, GMG or other mass produced hardware.

  • @jkass999

    Good choice on the pellet grill... especially since it was free. The ones you had are more entry level but that Yoder is top notch. Personally, I have a Recteq which I think is similar quality and I like the company. I use B&B post oak from HEB as well. I have used Lumberjack pellets in the past and like them, but the convenience of HEB and B&B pellets work for me.

    Enjoyed the video, I’ve had my YS640S over 6 months and use it 5 times a week. I found when using the grill grates I leave the other 2 grates off the bottom then just slide the 3 connected grill grates to the right exposing the fire box door. I use an extended reach right angle needle nose pliers to move the door to the right opening and exposing the firebox. Then just slide the grill grates back over to the left.
    I have tried most name brand pellets including Knottywood Plummond which gives the best smoke ring but also the largest temperature swings. I have also used lumberjack, royal oak charcoal, pecan shell smokin pecan pellets. I favor jealous devil Jax pellets clean burn, decent smoke and less temperature swings. You may want the half shelf for the top also the pizza oven attachment works really well great for chicken wings in a lodge cast iron baking pan. The Yoder cover fits like a glove and is heavy duty.
