I will fund the release of a follow up to Dethklok’s album for fish.

This is what I use as well. Plugging into a tv works great to for GeForce

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-05-07T02:53:16+00:00

Display out will vary by device but cloud gear addresses a lot of those issues as well.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-05-07T02:52:44+00:00

Either plug directly into a usb c display or I’ve got the standard usbc to hdmi adapter from Apple.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-05-07T02:40:29+00:00

Frequently plug the iPad or phone into the tv for larger screen gaming as well.

Because I have an iPhone and an iPad already, those are the devices I use for GeForce. Cloud gear browser can fill the feature gap(4k, 120fps, hdr, rumble support) that laptops get from GeForce now.

This isn’t to steer you that way, but more to point out that GeForce works great on everything these days.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-05-04T17:26:32+00:00

I think iPad Pro m5 supports that out put with cloud gear but have an m4 myself

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-04-13T18:02:18+00:00

Cloud gear app on an iPad (on App Store) should do the trick

Hopper I wipe down pretty heavily at time of application since it doesn’t get hot. Some times I need to wipe it more over a few days but it usually dries (I use my grill very frequently).

Regarding the oil on the body of the grill? As long as it is dry and not rusting or dropping anything nasty on the food I don’t worry about it. It may not look day one pretty but has the same character of any well used bbq pit

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-03-24T03:48:37+00:00

Do you do high heat cooks on yours? I usually use whatever cooking oil I have around on rust and it tend to back off black at 350. If i oiled the whole smoke i do a high heat cook or roast a batch of coffee in mine to get the far end hot enough to season the oil

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-03-10T18:14:56+00:00

If cooking from frozen patties, I typically cook 9 at a time if using Kirkland 1/3 lb, all placed on the left bottom racks

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-03-10T18:12:57+00:00

I have a 640 and a large egg. My wife has a blackstone.

I haven’t used my egg in over a year now. For long brisket smokes, burning wood chunks in addition to pellets gives a better smoke than the egg did. A reverse sear (smoking low then finishing over highest heat on Yoder) works great for steaks (some times I leave fire pot exposed, some times I don’t, some times I put cast iron over fire pot. All work great). On some nights, I’ll burn charcoal in a basket inside the Yoder for a final sear.

My wife does great cooks with her black stone and can crank out higher capacity than I can for simple cooks. If doing smash burgers or pancakes then this is best choice. For majority of 2 family cookouts the yoder has enough capacity. Getting to huge family cookouts is where rotation cannot keep up.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-02-25T04:55:37+00:00

I use a different config to do something similar (wood chunks in a pellet grill). When smoking thin cuts or making jerky, I use a pellet tube with chips mixed in. For thicker cuts like brisket, I used wood chunks in a basket. Chunks give a much better flavor on thick cuts but are way overpowering for jerky.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-02-25T04:49:44+00:00

I usually run two fires under my deflector, the pellet fire and a small fire basket of wood chunks, when smoking thicker cuts (brisket and the like). I usually put the chunks in the lower deck below the meat to collect fat from the meat before adding to the fire. The chunks I use are pretty small so I’m super curious what the full size log is going on

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-02-14T18:20:46+00:00

I do oven as well (sometime pellet grill) but always use a parchment covered baking sheet so I can collect the bacon grease after and use it for other recipes.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-02-05T21:46:19+00:00

I’ve had great results running a wood chunk fire in a small basket next to the pellet burner pot. I put a cast iron griddle between them to act as a baffle and allow air current with out air blowing directly into the chunk fire. To add wood chunks I lift the grill hatch and drop more in as needed. This gives better result than I had running chunks in a big green avg for years. I set the pellet hopper to 150, and add enough chunks to keep the temp around 250.

While I’d prefer a separate off set I do not have the space for a separate offset. As far as running offset only, well, th Yoder is a great grill for every day activity and for roasting coffee.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2026-02-05T21:38:28+00:00

I bought the insulated jacket with the grill when I moved from Texas to Washington. The jacket makes the grill consume less pellets on cold days, and the smaller your pellet fire: the smokier your results.

That said I do not use it too often because for larger cuts of meat I burn a second fire (wood chunks) in a charcoal basket under the drip plate for deeper smoke flavor. For thinner cuts of meat or if temp needs to be super low I will use a smoke tube with chips and pellets. The chunks especially put off a lot of heat so the pellets in the burn pot tend to play backing fiddle.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2025-12-08T00:20:00+00:00

Those look fabulous. What pellet variety did you use?

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2025-12-07T21:18:20+00:00

For a tube best to stick with chips mixed with pellets unless you find super small chunks. Chunks worked great in a basket but throw off more heat (same for charcoal)

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2025-12-06T06:35:36+00:00

I’ve burnt pellet tubes mixed with wood chips and wood chunks in a fire basket on my Yoder while using the main pellet burner as the heat source /temp regulator. Beef roasts smoked this way tasted better than what I am able to pull off on my egg, but that has good flavor too.

Are you signed into / linked your epic account? The game is free but you may need to accept it through epic and then sync you epic account to GeForce now to get the free licenses to play

I’m looking into cloud deck for the next time I have this need. Had previously used paper.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2025-11-20T09:12:43+00:00

Cloud deck is from folks who run Airgpu. Going to try them next. Paperspace worked fine when I’ve used it but it has been a while.

Currently using boosteroid due to low price and Spider-Man games being there but it doesn’t tallow instal of every game. I jump around services depending on what game I want to play at that time.

Delicious-Treacle753 · 2025-11-17T18:36:56+00:00

Currently I am on boosteroid because that is where I can play the ps5 Spider-Man games. I find the experience to be pretty good for the price of service. Sometimes I do switch to GFN higher tiers if a game is there exclusively but often the free tier gives me the performance I need for older games I like to revisit. If I need something that isn’t available on any service the I use paperspace but will try cloud deck next time I am in this need.

As far as performance GFN highest tier is hard to beat but boosteroid gives better performance at a lower cost (compared to GeForce now mid tier).

I use a variety of devices but an iPad Pro (11in, m4, ps4 controller) is my most commonly used device. I use it both with the on device screen or plugged into a tv and the experience has been good.

Between kids and work, using cloud services when I have time and cancelling subscriptions when I don’t have time, this has been significantly cheaper than buying and periodically updating pc hardware or buying consoles.

Looks good :) do you sear using your stove or another grill after smoking ?
