    I’m considering one of the YS’ but have some concerns…
    (1) What do I need to buy extra to be able to smoke a brisket and also to set dual zone grilling?
    (2) It seems that some people have significant rust/paint issues with only a couple of years of use.
    (3) Any issues with searing? That is, where does the fat go? How do we clean/maintain mess from searing? Does it drip right into the fire and auger outlet?
    (4) Where can I see one? I’m in Houston!

    I’m pretty sure Chef Tom has convinced more people to buy a Yoder than anyone else (I know I’m losing about 3k out of my wallet next month).
    I hope he gets a big thank you from Yoder and Grill Grates! 🙂

    i can't decide on a 480 or 640. Could you help me decide please? i have a green egg already so I didn't want to buy the bigger one; however, I heard there's something I can't do with the 480 that I can with the 640. Thanks in advance!

    It would be nice to see all the assories installed and explained before I buy them. I'm ready to order but haven't a clue on what's optional and if I will use then.

    When grilling things at 600 degrees do you chew through the pellets? I'd love an all-in-one unit to do everything from low n slow to burgers and snags. I'd love a Yoder but am thinking that you using the pellet grill in the direct grilling setup would not be efficient in regards to fuel use.
    Anyone have anything to inform me on this?

    Nice video.  Why didn't  you just show the 2 piece diffuser?  A lot easier than having to take out all of the grates and the blank pan. That 2 piece makes it great for reverse searing too!! Thanks for the video.

    .Nice tip there Tom. I have a few weber kettles and a couple have grill grates,  they are awesome. No flare up even with chicken and burgers..The sear marks on a steak is unbeatable..a well made product. nice review, Thanks.
