LOL!!! Of course not.
Andy will just have to add it to his wish list. Which is isn't too long, but expensive. Like a FEC500.
What would be your perfect size pelletcooker?

Oh ok, I was just curious. I am ordering a YODER YS640 this week (for delivery in June, They are a little backed up I guess)and just wondered if there was something I was missing. I would think that the heavier steel would present more thermal mass than the lighter built units for steadier tempsin Wisconsin winters, although i understand that it won't be as good as a double wall unit. But I cannot afford the higher end MEMPHIS grills or others that have that feature. I have read and heard that if taken care of a YODER smoker can last a lifetime. And with their new updates I have read that guys are getting 600deg neighborhood for high temps and also very consistent level temps. am planning on buying a set (3garates)of grill grates for the MAK from Poppa for it as they should be a good fit and and making a " dropped " GRILLING grate for it too. Possibly having a perforated flame guard made as well, and converting half of the drip pan to a "Flame Zone" type of setup.
I am new to all of this and am very happy to have come across the bunch of guys here that have so much experience and knowledge of this ART. I can't wait to retire my Charbroil gas grill with the cookie sheet full of rock, charcoal,and pellets that i use now for smoking. Thanks for the advice I have gotten and in advance for that which I am am sure I will be seeking. Dave (herbsties)

OK, the specs on my MAK Two Star is 429 sq.in. of cooking space.
That does not take under consideration the fact that I probably want to keep the food above the drip pan.
I'd like just a little bit more room. I'm thinkin that the 550 number that SPARKY suggested would be just about right.

Yes, I've seen the double Memphis Island/frig as well (at the K.C.Royal) SWEEEET.
Yes, the price would scare the crap out of you.

Did you also tell Don I said this?
So they are now using 1200 degree paint instead of powder coat. That is good to hear.
B.P. Was your post "Did you also tell Don i said this?" meant for me? I think it's great that people with a extensive background in this arena (such as yourself) try to help answer the questions that the rookies like me have especially if it's a kind of industry wide challenge like paint vs powdercoat and there ability to withstand high temps. I hope that nothing I posted ANYWHERE came across wrong. I meant no harm. I am just trying to make a informed decision on which unit to buy, based on all the information that's out there and other peoples personal experiences.
