Nice video. Do you have a problem with the 1500 and smoking briskets on the bottom shelf? Particularly over the area where the pellet fire is? It seems on the bottom shelf closer to the left and middle of the smoker the bottom of the briskets burns and it gets super crispy because the grate is really hot there.
Well, Lone Star, it does have a "warm spot" above the firepot. For me, it's part of my cook plan to rotate and turn the briskets especially once they are well along the way say above 160-170 F.
I have a yoder 24×48 flattop & a ys640s pellet. I love the flattop food comes off with a great smoke flavor, but the ys640s I did 2 butts and Jalapeno peppers with pulled pork with cream cheese wrapped in thin bacon, 0 flavor I mean u couldn't taste u were even eating bacon, I was using Jack Daniel's pellets from bbq delight, doesnt really matter what pellet u use..no flavor, could u HELP me? I dont want to sell my yoder, everything I cook on it dont taste like the flattop or barrel smoker or kamado, I have tried everything, I have alot of grills, but pellet cookers are like cooking in your oven in your house, thanks for your time, Ron!
Pellet cookers, Yoder's, have been used to won world championships (me being one of em!). It's not the cooker, its just your expectations of flavor. Cook something on your YS640 and leave it as leftovers for a day or two... It has more smoke than you think.
@@House_of_Q thanks I'll try the leftover method, I love my yoder very well built. As for Competition cooking, I have had many times tried the meat they cook, it doesnt even taste like bbq, its packed with rubs and sauces injections, but I get it the judges only get 1 bite so you got to have alot of flavor, I want backyard bbq. I go to you because you know your yoder's I appreciate your time & help, if your ever in southern Indiana stop by, stay warm in Canada 🤗🤗
Where is the best place to put ur water pan and can u line the bottom of the smoker with foil to keep it cleaner( I just purchased a 1500 . I won’t be able to cook on it until a week or bcuz I’m going on vacation)
Good questions. I've never used a water pan in the YS1500. There's never been a need to theres plenty of moisture. For the HMS (deflector plate) never foil this... It will negatively impact the performance of the machine. Simply scraping off debris will accomplish the cleaning task.
Interesting question. The use of oil is to allow the oily material to polymerize onto the surface of the steel once heated. Additional material and residue (gunk?) in the drip bucket would make that "oil" suspicious and likely inhibit that to occur. Best bet is something"fresh" and clean.
@@lawrencemarshall4205 after 8 years using many different Yoder Smokers I've never oiled the outside... Just the inside to season a brand new cooker (once is all it needs). For the outside I wash with water and if needed a degreaser.
@@House_of_Q Thank you for the tips. I'm in Edmonton, and I just wanna say, your "Slow Smoke Gold" sauce is #1! Thank you for giving us such awesome products!
