My Yoder YS640 came in yesterday Fed Ex freight exactly one week after I ordered it. I got the second shelf, grill grates, and cover upgrades on it. I know everyone says it is built like a tank but I didn't fully appreciate that statement until I actually saw this thing in person. I called up two buddies and we got it off the crate and wheeled it up a pair of 2x10's onto my back deck. The moveable baffle inside is such a simple, ingenius idea. The short throw auger is a much better design than the long throw Traeger. It took my Traeger several minutes to get its auger full of pellets when I first fired it up, the Yoder took about 15 seconds. Less chance of it getting jammed. It has a very nice pellet feed hopper. I swear the work shelves on the outside weigh more than the entire Traeger grill I had. Anyways, I am doing the seasoning run now and look forward to many wonderful cooking experiences.
