I take you through the steps I use to fire up and do the initial burn in on the Yoder YS640s

Grease Catcher

Half depth top grate

Why does this gentleman only get 125 views and two comments? There is more info here than any of the top rated vids. SC, please keep it up. I appreciate what you are doing.

Best video I’ve found for setting up my new Ys640. Thanks Smokey Cue!

GREAT vid, man. My old electric chip smoker crapped out and I've got a 640s on order. Been watching how-to videos and this is one of the best out there. Looking forward to more on your channel, keep em coming!

YS640s on competition cart just arrived yesterday. Burn 🔥 in tonight, baby!!!!

[mikem]

What kind of cooking spray did you use and what temp to do the burn in. Also you wrap the entire bottom in tin foil to help make clean up easier when cooking?

Thanks so much for the great info and video my man....Been eyeing this grill for a while have not pulled the trigger because the wife and I love charcoal and wood flavor so much...Is the “smoke” flavor there? Thanks again my man!!! 👍👊

Good video, half shelf is a must in my book. The full shelf is great, but takes up too much room most of the time. Def need to get the upgraded diffuser plate!

Good vid brother, I'm trying to decide between this and the Pitts & Spitts Maverick ... did I see a Grilla Silverback also, if so how do you like it

[jfunk]

Thanks for the video! My 640 came today !

[jaybooth]

Good video....I would have like to see the pellets dumping in the fire box. Great info.

Thank you sir! Just picked the newest model up! Love this bad boy

i love how everyone uses the phrase "doing a cook", like it's a occasional event, for me doing a cook is called the weekend!

[jimmiller]

I've been going back and forth between the YS640S and the Traeger Timberline 1300. I'm leaning towards Yoder, how is their customer service? The nearest Yoder dealer is about an hour away.

[daddycox]

Mine arrives tomorrow can't wait thank you for the video.

[jgoree]

Thanks for sharing. I’m torn between this grill and the RecTec 700 Bull.

Excellent guidance. I think you were using Pam spray. Have you used other sprays and settled on this choice? Besides burning off unwanted material, what is the reason for "seasoning" the grill? Does it cause the smoke on subsequent cooks to adhere to the surface and enrich the flavor the cook?

[cgiuffria]

Awesome video! Also I love your intro. If you mind me asking who did it for you?

[cohen]

Do you season the outside of the grill?
If so what do you use?
