Hello from NW Oregon.

Outstanding, and congratulations on your Yoder. I have the older style 640 and absolutely love it. My only advice is to do a toast test so you learn every hot and cold spot on the grates.

I agree, that is my biggest lament with the Yoder - I find significant temp differences from top to bottom, front to back and left to right. My hottest spots are front right, coolest left rear. Sometimes 70-80ºF or more. Gotta pay attention.

Welcome and congratulations on the new cooker! You're already getting good advice from the members above. Do some practice runs to figure your hot/cool spots, temp control and how to hit the temps you will be using.
