Hey All! I was just curious if anyone had any experience with the Yoder ys1500 pellet smoker? I don't see a lot of videos on it so I thought I'd ask if anyone had one or had any hands-on experience with it.

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Welcome to the Pit! Going from a RT mini to a Yoder YS 1500... that would be a HUGE step up in size. From everything I have read, it is a very solid smoker! Question though... how many people do you cook for on a regular basis and do you like to entertain A LOT, or perhaps do some catering? I too was looking at the 1500 last year, mainly because it’s sooo manly (lol)... but after talking with numerous guys/gals that have actually cooked on a 1500, it didn’t take long to realize it would have been way overkill for me. Not trying to be negative, just sharing my journey in my quest for a pellet grill. IMO, if this is for backyard cooking, the Yoder YS 640 is tough to beat if your are sold on the Yoder brand.

From what I have read, the 1500 has a different diffuser plate than the 640 which gives it more evenly distributed heat. Some also say it has a smokier flavor. I have only used the 640 so can't say anything from personal experience.
