Well, it's 10:15, and I'm fuming. The Yoder YS640S just will not light. I changed out the pellets 3 hours ago, and used a "new" bag of Traeger oak pellets I picked up 2 days ago. My first thought is that maybe I got a bag of pellets the hardware store kept outside, so I scooped them all out of the hopper, fed the remaining pellets through with the "feed" mode, and refilled and fed the hopper with pellets I've used, and KNOW are good.
IT WON'T LIGHT. It's in the lower 40's ... IDK if that matters,,, I even tried to help the ignition process with a propane torch, to no avail.
Deep breaths .... deep breaths ... 1..2..3..4..5.. FUC!^((**&$#!@#$%^^&
Plan B .... I'm off to the butcher shop in the early am to pick up some steaks to grill. In the mean time this poor beautiful brisket is going "Han Solo" in the chest freezer until I can trouble shoot my Yoder.
F. My. Life.
Go 49er's.
PS - thanks everyone for the interest. I wish I could of shared a better story with you in the morning, with a beautifully smoked chunk of cow. But it's not to be, at least for this weekend.
