Blazn vs Yoder

[Jmort1754]

Can anyone with a blazan or yoder post picts?

I need to have size enough for 6-8 racks of ribs.

You can do that on a 480 with the slide in top rack but it would be maxed out. A 640 would totally cover that with room to spare.

dont screw around then, get the 640 (or blazn's equivalent largest size). You'll seldom wish you had a smaller cooker but often wish it was bigger.

I would also add pitts & spitts to your list of considerables.

I have been using cheap pit bosses and they just keep ******* up every year after grilling and smoking 4-5 days a week.

Had mine for 8 years and use it all year even the dead of winter and the pitboss wont die.

I bought a laredo from walmart last year and the pot is almost gone, it errors all the time, I cleaned the temp probe as they wanted me to and it still errors.

Yoder 640S Competition. This is 4 racks of ribs using just over 1/2 the grill.

The blazn seems to have a Slide drawer to remove the box entirely. Sombody with one should confirm this, im just guessing off pictures.

It slides out, unscrew the nut on the end and slide it out.

What did that whole set up cost?

YS640 2012 model year. I’ve replaced a thermocouple and an igniter. Just purchased a new diffuser plate with fire box access. Some day I’ll upgrade the controller to the newest version. Mine lives outside in the summer under a cover and under a roof in the winter. I should reseal and paint it in the next couple of years.

Expensive yes. Used ones are out there. Yoder does have refurbished models from time to time and All Things BBQ has scratch and dents from time to time.

How much did you spend on rifles that won't shoot in 2023?

Rokslide, the millionaires hunting club! I need to go back over to LRH and argue with them about hammers.

I can cook six racks of spare ribs on my 480 with no room to spare. You want the 640 if you need to do more.

Tell them about your Vortex too.

The Yoders have gone up in price since we got ours, I think we paid $1600ish. I feel like the Traegers were $1kish and comparing sheet metal to 10/12 gauge steel was and is a no brainer. Let alone where they are made.

Apparently I'm out of pork, but these are beef racks in a 480 Yoder. The top slide out thing is the same size.


Someone asked about ash. We just dump the grate out in the bottom each burn, and then shop vac every few weeks.
