OK I have a Yoder 640 and the questions are:
1. deflector plate y/n?
** If deflector plate there is no room for even a shallow gravy pan underneath. If no deflector I can put the gravy pan right on the bottom of the grill but I am concerned about ashes making their way into the gravy. At the end of a long brisket cook at 225 I have a thin layer of grease/ashes on the bottom. Guessing 14 hours at 225F generates more than 3 hours at 325 but still...
2. The instruction schedule/timeline has me taking the gravy out before the bird. I think you'd have to move the bird off the grills to get a big pan of gravy out. Was this meant for a different smoker?
Thanks in advance. I feel really comfortable with cows and pigs but if I screw this one up my wife goes back to cooking it her way and I lose major face....
PS, the pre-practice muffings were a hit.
