All Things BBQ

I've owned the YS-640 for several months now and I'm still impressed by the versatility of this pit. This is hands down the best built pellet grill on the market. It consistently produces quality slow smoked, baked, and grilled food.

We have owned the YS640 just under a month but have used this grill/smoker a dozen times now. Keeps the temps up great even when it is snowing and blowing and 20 below zero windchill!! The food has been amazing and I will highly recommend this grill to family and friends! Happy Smoking :)

How do you figure value in a pellet grill? Is it customization? I called before I order my YS640 and told them I wanted my grill grates made out of expanded stainless steel, and a few other small things done to "personalize" my grill so it was just the way I wanted it. "No problem. The added materials will cost extra, and shipment will a week so we can fabricate your grates." Try getting that with a Chinese import! Is it versatility? I have smoked, grilled and baked in this unit. The sliding heat deflector allows you to even out the temperatures from side to side. Or, create a two temperature cooking zone for different types of food. I have gotten temps as low as 145* and as high as 505*...and cook just about anything with that flexibility. Is it size? With the optional top grill grate. the cooking surface area is 1070 sq. inches. I filled mine up once....that's a lot of food! Is it customer support? I ordered a grill cover(made by a outside vendor in Kansas as well) for my YS640. It ended up with a small leak. I called Don, and by the end of the week I had a brand new one. Also, I was getting ready for my first cook on my brand new YS640, and I invited the whole family over for baby back ribs. I called Joe, and he talked with me on the phone for 20 minutes explaining how the grill worked, what temp to set the pit at, when to rotate the ribs and even which ribs will need to be rotated. Joe was spot on! Best ribs I have ever had!!! Is it food quality? All of my foods are the best I have ever grilled. The ribs are nearly falling off of the bone, yet still moist! In the past, if I tried to get them to that point, they would have been very dry. All of my meats have been moist with a lightly smoked flavor. My breads perfectly crusted on the outside, moist inside with a perfect crust! In my opinion, the YS640 pellet grill is the best value on the market...hands down!
