##Chuck roast on the Workhorse 1975 please

[@RumandCook]

Lol I have whole channel Offset Rookie. Cooks every Thursday 🍻

[@RumandCook]

I’ll add it to the list! 🍻

[@fredhill681]

100% spot on! I have a Yoder YS640 and large Big Green Egg. I use the pellet grill for 2 reasons : 1. Long cooks over an hour 2. Size or quantity of what I'm cooking

[@RumandCook]

Thanks! 🍻

[@meweez63]

Thanks Jake for another informative video. I’m still working on getting my Yoder. I have only used gas and pellet grills, so the different levels of smoke between the pits doesn’t really bother me. I do enjoy learning how to smoke as a cooking method. Only problem is that I can no longer find a decent BBQ/smoking food joint here in Sacramento Ca. I swear I do a better job than paying for it. Thanks again.

[@RumandCook]

Yeah, once you get good at it, it’s tough to eat it elsewhere 😁🍻

[@nates9321]

Jake, I appreciate how you utilize various styles of smokers/cookers. Each video is insightful and informative. Currently own a Pit Boss barrel smoker and vertical smoker. #coldoutside #bringbackspring

[@RumandCook]

Thank you, I appreciate that! 🍻

[@hanktrantham2641]

# tag or not….that’s the one thing that keeps me coming back, you tell both sides of the story. You have always told the good, the bad and the ugly when necessary,

[@RumandCook]

Thanks I appreciate that. I have no agenda, just share my passion, even if it’s bad cook 😂. 🍻

[@mefobills279]

FYI on latest pellet technology. Camp Chef Woodwind Pro has a smoker tray with damper valve. The pellet pot ignites wood held within tray, then butterfly is turned to nearly closed. This then adds the heavier wood smoke many desire. The LSG pellet grill has a patent pending firepot that puts some pellets on the periphery so they can smolder thus producing smoke.

[@RumandCook]

Yeah I’ve been watching that. You can pretty much get the same effect if you use a smoke tube. It’s not the cleanest smoke though so I never do it for more than half the cook. The innovation is interesting for sure. I have mixed feelings though because it’s all dirty smoke. Even in a Kamado where you use chunks of wood, a little white smoke is fine, but you want to let it clean up and cook in the clean smoke for the majority of the cook. 🍻

[@DFSqu]

I just got my first smoker and your videos have been extremely helpful. Thanks. #coldoutside #bringbackspring.

[@LyftedDieSeL_Wv]

Idk if I did that right lol. Speaking of pellets I tried notty wood pellets. My smoker does not like them at all. They leave really weird hard ash in the fire pot

[@jeffficht2230]

I had the same issue. Way too much ash and hard residue left over. Also jammed my Yoder auger.

[@LyftedDieSeL_Wv]

@@jeffficht2230 did that to my timberline. I had smoke rolling out of my pellet hopper lol

[@RumandCook]

Lol

[@RumandCook]

I haven’t tried them yet myself. Thanks for sharing. 🍻

[@RumandCook]

I think that’s the wrong smoke stack 😅 🍻

[@richardenders8605]

#its cold outside #bring back spring. I’m from Canada and it’s difficult to use the pellet grill in the winter when it’s below zero.

[@RumandCook]

Get yourself the thermal jacket and problem solved. I’ve used mine in -10C :) 🍻

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

Nice one Jake. Good luck to the contest people … I hear it’s cold outside 😅

[@RumandCook]

LOL James. Thanks! 🍻

[@AGC828]

I don't know if I'm correct .. That you must use flavored pellets?? Or are there 'flourishes '.. do you can choose to taste the seasoning you prefer???

[@RumandCook]

Pellets are made from various woods. Each wood has its only flavor. Oak and Pecan are light and have the least smoke besides something like Apple. 🍻

[@therobt1]

#coldoutside #bringbackspring I go to the strength of the cookers. I’ve got gas, charcoal, pellet, WSM, Blackstone, and the Yoder wood fired oven. I want to add a Santa Maria rig to the Weber performer to round it out and maybe get a small offset. Thanks Jake!

[@RumandCook]

Great setup! 🍻

[@merleharmon6833]

I bought a Pellet Smoker Saturday. Have a Wolf Grill and Sam's Griddle. I stumbled o to your channel and love your content. #coldoutside #bringbackspring Live in Central Michigan. I want spring....LOL.

[@RumandCook]

Awesome congrats. Thanks for watching! Spring will be here before you know it. 🍻

[@kylergiroux2831]

i think the reason almost all pellet grills do not get a lot of smoke flavour on the meat is because of the giant grease trays that basically block it all from going to the meat and the smoke has to go around and only the edges get the meat. I say most because the Weber smoke fire has a unique design wear smoke going up directly to the meat and its been described as some to be the best pellet smoker for getting smoke on the meat.

[@RumandCook]

This could be part of it, but it’s also just the nature of burning pellets. The higher the temp, the cleaner the fire is. Makes it hard to generate a heavy smoke flavor when you have such a clean fire. 🍻

[@mefobills279]

@@RumandCook That's right. A pellet pot burns like a forge with air driven fan. The smoke output does not contain all the flavor profiles of a natural drafting fire, which is non homogeneous. Some wood is still catching on fire, etc. Pellet cooker engineering requires taking a point source, the pellet pot, typically 4 inches in diameter and distributing that heat over area, hence the conductive drip tray over said firepot.

[@EricPetersen2922]

Good luck with the contests 🎉🎉

[@RumandCook]

Thanks 🍻

[@txfieros]

I never find cleaning between cook as a big deal on my pellet cooker. It doesn’t take any longer than cleaning out old ash from my WSM or kettle, in fact it’s probably a bit quicker. It only takes a few minutes longer when I clean off my drip tray (which I don’t do every cook). It would be a pain when there is a bunch of caramelized sugar (I don’t line my drip tray) but I just pull out a small torch and heat in front of my scraper as I scrape and everything comes off super fast. #coldoutside #bringbackspring

[@RumandCook]

Once you get used to it, it’s not a huge deal. Some complain, but it is what it is. 🍻

[@CoolJay77]

Well, at least it is not equipped with red wheels. LOL Well done video. I have got a video suggestion. Start a brisket on the offset for 3 1/2 hours, then set is to cook naked on the pellet grill, freeing yourself from attending to the offset smoker. Then give us your assessment on the flavor.

[@RumandCook]

LOL true that. I asked WH to get the new black wheels a month ago! No such luck. I got one email saying they were working on a price. Interesting idea! Might have to make an appearance on the channel. Thanks! 🍻

[@ThePitPapa]

Discovered your channel today, and as a fellow Yoder Smoker owner/lover and user... I can sympathize with all of these issues. I've been cooking a meal outside every day all year here in Utah and good heck has it been #coldoutside and I'm excited for the world to #bringbackspring so I can cook a bit more comfortably.

[@RumandCook]

Haha welcome to the channel! Can’t let the weather get you down, but I’ll take Spring anytime. 😁 🍻

[@matth9384]

Perfect combo for me is my Blackstone and Yoder. Gas grill has hardly gets used these days #coldoutside #bringbackspring

[@RumandCook]

Sounds like a winning combo. 🍻

[@FatJohnnyD]

Current Kamado owner. Have been researching different pellet smokers. Great info in your videos. Thanks. #coldoutside #bringbackspring

[@RumandCook]

Happy to help! 🍻

[@gbeaklrone6485]

#coldoutside #bringbackspring Jake, I love the videos and appreciate your informative reviews. Did you look into Lone Star Grillz pellet smokers prior to purchasing your Yoder? I think I've narrowed my choices down between these two smokers. Any experience with the Lone Star?

[@RumandCook]

Thank you! The Lonestar wasn’t out when I bought my Yoder. I think both make a good product, however the Lonestar fluctuates temps to have more smoke. My concern is a dirtier smoke. I have no hands on experience to back this, so it’s 100% speculation. However seeing smoke is not smoking, the more smoke you see, the dirtier it is. It’s not always going to taste better. If you watch my 11 secrets to maximize smoke video, you will be super happy with almost any pellet smoker. I can pull off great tasting food on my Yoder without being bitter or off putting. Hope this helps! 🍻

Thanks for the video! Right now it's #coldoutside and all I can think is #bringbackspring so I can start smoking again!

[@RumandCook]

Come on you can smoke in the winter ❄️ 🤣 🍻

[@JamesNewcombVO]

Agree with all of those, especially the cleanup! No shop vac, so I have to scrape the rounded bottom with an old dollar store plastic spatula and scoop the burn pot with a soup spoon to get the ash and partially burned pellets out lol. #coldoutside #bringbackspring

[@RumandCook]

Check out the Home Depot bucket vac. It’s cheap and does a good job for that. 🍻

[@prasartpongpet]

[@dra11987]

Jake, any insight into the difference in flavor of a pellet smoke tube vs a bolt-on offset attachment you put wood chips/chunks in when looking for additional smoke flavor? Have one for my old box smoker and got great results (though more work as you mentioned). Debating whether to attach it to the Yoder, which would require either making an adapter to go through the temp probe hole or drilling it into the chamber. YS has been good, but occasionally I am looking for a bit more punch. Appreciate your thoughts! #coldoutside #bringbackspring

[@RumandCook]

I’d test it through the probe hole first. There is another product out there that does that. The wood chips might give it a better flavor. I have a cold smoker for my KK. Maybe I should try it. I don’t know to be honest. I’d also check out my 11 tips to max smoke and make sure you are using many of those. 🍻

[@dra11987]

@@RumandCook Definitely will give the tips a try. I only have about 4 cooks on the YS so far, so wanted to get a good baseline for how it cooked straight up before trying other methods. Thanks for the ideas!

[@RumandCook]

No prob! Give it time and experiment with pellets. Good quality pellet goes a long way. 🍻

[@averagemodeler]

Can I assume, that pellets don't give off dirty smoke?

[@RumandCook]

No, unfortunately anything can give off dirty smoke. It’s all about how clean the fire is. A pellet grill burns a cleaner fire but it’s how the pellets are added and when. A smoke tube is dirty, but if you only use it for half a cook it will taste fine. Hope this helps! 🍻
