Fired up the Yoder last night for the first smoke. I chose a 14# brisket from Sams. Just trimmed some fat, slapped on some yellow mustard and covered it with Jeff's Texas rub. Got the YS640 to 240 and put it on with a 12" smoke-n-tube full of perfect blend pellets. This is 13 hrs in @ 177 deg and still going. I'm still working on the in's and out's of this pellet smoker but so far it's doing what it says it will do and temp swings aren't really that much. WE are still bonding :) I plan to take it to the magic temp of 203 deg. I'll post a follow up when I cut into it. We'll see what that smoke ring looks like.
