“Just finished my first smoke on the YS640, ribs and chicken thighs. This machine is amazing. It couldn't be simpler to use. The chicken was the best I have ever tasted. The ATBBQ team was great, with fast shipping and they threw in some extras. I could not be happier and can't wait for years of great food off the YS640. Don't hesitate to buy this cooker or to order from ATBBQ.”

“This is my first 'real' smoker and I am impressed. This sucker is over 300lbs!! Nothing here is wimpy!! I did my first Boston Butt on the smoker last week and it was very good. I am a newbie and am trying different methods to be the 'best of the best'. This smoker will be the only one I will use from this day forward. Today I grilled up a T-Bone steak. And I used the Grill Grates. I upped the temps to 600 degrees. The T-Bone came out FABLULOUS!!! Actually, it cooked faster than I expected, and the sear marks were way better than I expected. I have been using Weber Gas Grill for many years and way satisfied with the results, but the Yoder smoker kicks ass...BRAVO YODER!!”

“I did a lot of research before buying this smoker. What I found is that no one offers the quality that this grill provides. It is pricey, but after actually assembling the grill it was apparent that it is well made. The sheer thickness of the metal and attention to detail in making this grill to last makes it well worth the money. I have not fired it up yet due to the weather but all the information and reviews I have read instill confidence that it will operate flawlessly. I was very happy to see that a few of features that were once optional are now standard such as the second shelf, the reinforced diffuser plate is thick and reinforced. In reading the previous reviews, it appears a lot of people had to purchase these items as upgrades. In addition, I was given a promo code for 100 lbs of hickory pellets which was a deal maker. Overall, very satisfied. You have to see the quality to really appreciate it. This pellet grill is an investment and by appearances, if you maintain it, it will last a lifetime. No fancy paint and gimmicks, just a well built grill which will be serviceable for years to come.”

“I wasted alot of time and money on "cheap" pellet smokers that couldn't hold a set temperature for anything. I received my YS640 this week, and think my friends are tired of my enthusiasm (they say bragging) for this grill. The wi-fi and app are incredible. Everything I have cooked has come out excellent because of this thing. Set the temperature, and once it settles in, it "flatlines" Absolutely perfect!!”

“Had grill for 3 weeks cooked a turkey for Christmas and also a beef tenderloin. Family loved them both had family members asking me to cook them a tenderloin for there birthday. Mike for atbbq in Wichita was a great help telling me what I needed with my 640 and he was right about everything. Iam from Georgia and I know of no one who has a Yoder seen one at a place I hunt in Kansas. Sure glad I got one great product.”
