I've got a couple Yoder Smokers Cimarron S competition carts but I hardly ever use them because my Pitboss is so good.  :dunno:

Nobodies gonna question this? Really? Those things are $10,000! I could build a seriously awesome smoker for that much money. I can't believe the cost of those Yoder smokers.

I thought they were more like 2.5-3K?

The ys 640  on a competition cart is about 3k.

Great info as I’m looking for a new grill and maybe a combo smoker. Power was out from the bomb cyclone and I had a meatloaf to cook for hunting. Our neighbors are all so helpful so one says what do you need? I need to cook a meatloaf, he says oven or smoker? Whuuuut, let’s smoke that bad boy. Turned out awesome. I liked how he said it gets really hot for grilling. Was a Yoder Ys480. He said they’re more expensive but a quality unit.
I have Man Chit to do

The one issue with the pellet grills are they run on electricity.  So one needs a generator in a power out situation like you mention.  Or possibly an inverter and a battery?

I pulled the lever on a RecTeq Deck Boss.  should be here in a few days.  Will report back on what I think about it, but I am already quite happy with what I have read/seen.

I got one of the packages that comes with a cover, the grill, 75ish pounds of pellets, and some seasoning.  Was just shy of 1K all in.  I may want to get the searing plate eventually but I want to nurse my wounds for a while first.

Looks like they burn about 1 lb of pellets every hour based on some of the reading I did.

Hmmm... with a name like Yoder you would think it would come with a clock mechanism and a gear that you could wind and it would slowly unwind for say 2-3 hrs?  :dunno: I'm being funny but also.... they could figure it out.

How big is it for 1 pound an hour?

Let us know how you like the Rectec 590. I was very close to pulling the trigger on this one for the black Friday sale. I finally decided not to spend the money yet although eventually it will happen  :tup:

On the 1 lb per hour I would say that's obviously dependent on what temp you are running. When I change my Pitboss from 225-250 up above 300 it doesn't change much but above 350 it seems to double the usage. Not quite double the temp but the pellet rate doubles if that makes sense. I have a Pitboss Austin XL 1000 sq in.

I have a pit boss, don’t think I’ve ever used a pound per hour.

Congrats on the recteq purchase.

I've had the 380X for about a year and a half and have been very pleased.  Instead of the sear plates check out etsy for after market grates, several custom makers for recteg.  I bought the round griddle for mine and use it like a blackstone to make breakfast, stir fry, philly cheese steak sandwiches, smash burgers etc.  I have the sear plates and dont use them as often as I thought I would. 

I do still have my Weber gas that got used during the latest power outage from "Bomb Cyclone" but it hasnt seen much use since the recteq came home.
