Thoughts on Yoder Smoker


 
Seems like they make a good one. Lang reverse flow smokers look good. I haven't used either. I'm guessing you would need to add wood every hour.

I did see some guy ranting and raving about his on another forum. One guy posts that he's bought one and then another guy hijacks the thread and rants about his for about 7 pages.

Probably worth a read. I'm looking into getting an offset in a few years but they are a ton of work to run. You do have to add wood every 45 minutes to an hour.
 
I had the Cimarron that I used in contests. It was a very good cooker. I personally don't care for the company management/ownership.

**Edit/correction - mine was the Kingman

That might be the most epic thread hijacking i've ever seen.

On topic, I've only seen the Yoders in videos, but they look awesome. Good luck with your decision David!
 
I've done cooks on my Old Country with logs. It is a lot of fun. Any good offset with 1/4 inch steel would be a huge improvement though. I'd love to have a Yoder, but I think I might opt for the Kingman if I was going to go that route. I've been looking at these.

My Old Country doesn't draw all that well. I usually run with the fire box door at least partially open with some smoke coming out that side, but I can make some good barbecue if I keep my fire hot and small. I usually have to cut down my splits.
