Yoder Smokers Community Forum

This will be my first Yoder, I have been a Traeger user for many years, and a GMG Daniel Boon user the past couple years.
I lost all my Traegers in the Tubbs fire of 2017, along with everything else.
So I decided, to treat myself to a real quality, Made in the USA replacement.
It should be here in the next couple of weeks, and I cannot wait!

Congrats and welcome aboard!

So, what is the meaning of * Abilene * Under the username, besides a small town in West Texas
I expect to see something like "Noob" or "Junior Member"

It is the Yoder Smokers entry level charcoal grill.

Ah, Ok thanks

So I just went through the Assembly instructions for my incoming YS480s as it will be here next Wednesday, and they do not show any instructions
for one on the competition cart, how will it arrive? Will the cart already be bolted to the main body or will I have to do that?

Competition cart cookers arrive on a pallet fully assembled.

Sweet

[attachment=1]The Yoder has arrived

And in no time we have Fire

Any thoughts on the new YS480s? I had a GMG Jim Bowie Prime for a week and returned it due to quality issues. Looking at the YS640s and there isn't a lot of feedback yet not he new "s" models.
