Hey all
I am new to pellet cooking. Have been a Weber guy forever. Done a lot of charcoal and gas but never cooked on or ate from a pellet grill. I live in Wichita, KS so, naturally, I have heard a lot of hype about Yoder Smokers. I was in the market for a Weber S-470 (bad ass gas grill for sure!) but started learning more about the Yoders, specifically the YS-640. I have always liked to smoke food but cannot ever get the fire right. The 640 has me excited because I can grill steaks/chicken/brats/burgers/etc... like normal (but better flavor I hope) AND smoke/bake some awesome stuff!
I bought a 640 this weekend and it delivers on Wednesday. I bought the backyard style (non comp stand) but upgraded the shelves to the solid stainless like the comp stand because I think it will be better looking and much easier to clean. Also had them put a probe port in and bought the direct grill grates.
I am very much looking forward to being apart of this community.
Just wanted to introduce myself...

So quick update... I pulled an switch-a-roo. I originally bought a YS-640 on the standard backyard stand. Ordered it Saturday and it is supposed to deliver in about 45mins. I got a little nervous the more I thought about that stand on my stone patio. My major concern was mobility, i move my grill a lot to clean and to entertain and these units are stinking heavy!! The last thing I wanted as a 300lbs+ grill that was a pain in the butt to move on my irregular stone patio.
I called Aaron at ATBBW yesterday (dude is awesome by the way!) and told him my concern... I asked him if I could pull a last minute switch on the grill and get a YS-640 on an Orange Comp Stand! He said "no problem" I have one ready to go and I paid the difference and it did not even mess up the deliver time.
Great story of the Yoder/ATBBQs excellent customer service.
I will post pictures later.
