BEST, EASY BRISKET on the Yoder YS1500 Pellet Smoker!

In this video I walk you through how I smoke my briskets on the Yoder Smokers YS 1500 Pellet smoker. We try out the "Holy Cow" injection from Meat Church and John Henry's Texas Brisket Rub.

Wow the brisket looked amazing! Another well detailed video with step by step video, keep up the awesome job! Also not sure how anyone could give this video a thumbs down, quality and substance should be appreciated.

I just noticed they sold the the first 1500 here in New Zealand, had to check one out on KZbin to see what it's like and your video really showed the product. Man that meat looked beautiful, well done!

[@freshhands5054]

Thank you so much! I'll be posting many more videos of the YS 1500 and potentially a review with commentary on why I chose this grill over some of the others! I recommend you pick one up ASAP!! :)

Love the Fireboard!

[@freshhands5054]

Thanks for watching Matt! Yes! The Fireboard is awesome! I have really enjoyed getting to use that over some of the previous products I have owned!

Nice vid, enjoyed it. It’s great to see someone with an updated video of the YS 1500. When are we going to see that thing fully loaded?

[@freshhands5054]

Thank you W. Lewis! We will be making plenty of additional Yoder YS 1500 videos in the coming weeks! I have a feeling if you hit that subscribe button, you will see a video of a fully loaded YS 1500 soon! ;)

Does it come with a Blanket? the grill

[@autismdad8893]

do you still have the 1500 ? and if so how many of those briskets can u fit on there

[@TheChrismsanchez1]

What differences have you found between the YS 640 & the YS 1500? Getting ready to make the purchase just haven't decided about the diffuser plate differences. Any other pros & cons between the two? Appreciate any input/ advice.

[@freshhands5054]

From what I understand, the diffuser plate in the YS640 allows for you to really control the zones in the grill. The YS1500 has a plate that opens and closes over the fire pot. I don't believe that this truly allows you to set up multiple grilling zones as efficiently. This is just my opinion. For me, the deciding factor is really how large of a grilling area you need on a regular basis. I frequently cook for family gatherings and have been extremely happy to have the additional space. However, I have actually considered getting a YS480 for my smaller experimental cooks. The biggest issue with the 1500 is maneuverability. Moving that thing around can get to be a pain. However, mine rarely moves so it isn't as much of an issue. At the end of the day, you can't go wrong with either grill. Let us know what you decide!

What's the pellet consumption on the ys1500. Wish I had one. Some day I will

[@freshhands5054]

A little more than a pound an hour.

So I found a Ys1500 used for 1,500$ it’s 1 yr old good condition. Would you jump on that or no. I’ve seen it work. What things should I be concerned about. Would you buy it.

[@freshhands5054]

Hi Gabriel! Thank you for watching. That's a heck of a deal if the smoker is in good condition. So, here are a few things I would look at. 1.) check for rust all around the smoker. If it has been kept in a covered area, this should not be a big deal, but it is always good to check. Rust isn't the end of the world, but if you are like me and want your smoker to look good, this can be a source of additional labor. 2.) Listen to the fan closely. If you hear any sort of grinding sound, this might be a sign that the bearings are going out, but still not the end of the world. Yoder is great about Customer support on these kinds of things. 3.) I would take the grates out and inspect the firepot and interior of the smoker. Make sure it is not warped and has been cleaned out well after use. 4.) If you have a temperature probe, bring it with you and fire the smoker up. I would start it out at 225 and then crank it up to 450 to see if the temps are within spec I would say you are good to go. This is the most important thing to check in my opinion. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but just high level what I would look for! Let me know if you wind up with a new smoker! You won't regret getting a Yoder, especially for that price! You can't even get a YS 640 for that price new! Good luck! Alex
