This thing is AWESOME! Have no regrets, other than I don't know why I didn't buy this sooner. This pit is built like a tank and it cooks wonderfully. From A to Z this is the best Pit ever built.

just received my new YS-640 two weeks ago and I absolutely love it. The shipping process and delivery was just as described. The delivery guy unloaded it off the truck, and wheeled the pallet into my garage. Everything was perfect. I am very impressed with the build quality...this thing is a tank. So far have smoked ribs and a brisket, and grilled chicken breasts. The grill heats up much faster than I expected. Temperature holds very steady over the long cooks. I love having the built in probe ports. Still figuring out and tweaking the baffle to control different cooking zones. Only negative thing I say is it can be difficult to manouver in tight quarters because it's so heavy and only the small caster wheels turn. So if you need to move your smoker around a lot, consider the comp cart.

After owning this grill for six months I can honestly say I don't regret my purchase. I was waiting for low temp weather to really test this grill and i must be honest i was very surprised. I grilled 400 degrees with the outside temp at 38 degrees and the grill came up to temp within 20 minutes. Last night I started a brisket in 31 degree weather cooking at 225. No problem at all, and I haven't use a thermal jacket. We have done every thing from low and slow to baking and just have been amazed at outcome. Got a couple of more tests that i want to do, but six months, it's great. Stop thinking about it, stop worrying about the price, and prepare to make some great wood fire food.

I have owned many grills in thirty years and this is the best one that I have ever owned. I looked at pellet grills for two years and the Yoder was more versatile. Many talk a good game but this one has them all beat. This has met and exceeded my expectations

Excellent quality and craftsmanship. This grill delivers consistent results cook after cook! Grill grates perform wonderfully on open flame for direct grilling as well.

I got my YS640 a few years back and love it. It is a very versatile. I recommend the grill grates, cover, and diffuser with access door (so you don't need to take out the grates and the diffuser to switch from indirect to direct. Stay on top of keeping the grill clean to prevent rust. Not a deal breaker (after all, I'm waiting on my 640S right now) but it does take some post cook maintenance to keep this thing looking nice.

I've been using a pellet grill for a LONG time (T****** for ~15 years?), so I know an upgrade when I see it. I just picked up a YS640, and it's amazing. I love removing the diffuser, adding the Grill Grates, and doing so nice searing! My first cook was a batch of rib eyes, and they were both beautiful as well as delicious. My guest list of people wbo want to come over for food keeps growing... Nice problem to have. Good friends, good food, good times.
