“I know this grill is pricier than what you can find at a big box store, but you are paying for quality. It is built like a tank and is the easiest grill I've ever cooked on. Other than the build quality what sold me on this grill was being able to sear on it. With the optional Grill Grates I've been able to put restaurant quality grill marks on steaks and chops. As long as you show this grill the TLC it deserves it should last forever.”

“I bought my Yoder 640 almost 4 years ago. I couldn't begin to say how much meat I have smoked/ cooked on it. I modified the drip plate to make it easier to clean but have never had an issue with my pit. I have never regretted this purchase”

“Upgraded from a small Traeger to this. So thankful for going with a Yoder than with something else. The versatility is off the chart! The last month I have owned this Yoder, you made jerky, smoked ribs, smoked/grilled steaks and chicken, and even baked a pizza. If you are thinking about getting a Yoder Pellet Grill, don't hesitate any longer. You will be thankful for choosing it!”

“Had an Independence Day Party by my neighbors pool. We have discussed doing a whole hog and I have done them before on my RECTEC smoker - my wife got me the Yoder 640S with the entire package .. I measured and called around to source a whole hog from a local farm. Was delivered a 65 pound whole hog on 2nd - kept it on ice in a cooler and injected it using Injector, OAKRIDGE Brine, and Rub from ATBBQ. Ran the Hog all night from 10Pm to 8am at 200 - running @ 155 Bumped to 250 and let it ride til 2pm 205 in the loin and 198 in rump. Needless to say the hog was perfectly cooked with incredible flavor! I completely loved my RECTEC but the YODER 640 is a MONSTER and all Products from ATBBQ are great!! I served it with 4 different sauces - all from ATBBQ and there wasn’t a single person that didn’t eat thirds! If you are into smoking meats and question a Pellet smoker - I will put my briskets or Pork against any stick burner any day!! All the adjustments I made through the day were done by phone thru the FireBoard app while I helped the neighbor prep the pool for 30 people!! Get a Yoder640S - you will never ever look at a Traeger, ZGrill or Big Green Egg again - oh and I owned a BG egg (XL) and sold that as well.”

“Somewhat experienced smoker, this Yoder is top notch. A bit of a learning curve for me going from a Weber SMC to the pellet smoker. So far I'm happy. Unit is well built. Controller is user friendly.”
