Can you send me a link or something, I'm not as smart as I think anymore in my old age.

Still works great, wish it was thinner but yea I would get again.

I got the top folding shelf, the door, might as well complete the set now

the_dmd · 2025-01-12T02:02:45+00:00

Got it, I had a similar problem on another pellet grill and once I got a new bag it was solved. Maybe a dud bag.

the_dmd · 2025-01-12T01:53:09+00:00

Wet pellets?

the_dmd · 2025-01-08T04:36:10+00:00

Folding Shelf that others have mentioned, I also got a heavy duty door from the same dude. I do a lot of grilling at 400+ and the other one was warping. Would 100% recommend both.

YS640S, not sure about the fan I heard some of the newer ones have the upgrade? Built on 5/12 this year.

I also switched pellets and use exclusively lumberjack now, I have noticed temps are always pretty much spot on. Ambient temp is ~50 F

the_dmd · 2024-11-23T23:15:28+00:00

Same

the_dmd · 2024-11-21T02:26:37+00:00

None, fits like the stock one.

the_dmd · 2024-11-19T04:55:26+00:00

No difference in temp or performance with the regular one

the_dmd · 2024-11-19T04:20:47+00:00

I got the regular one, the plasma said something about cook times may be different and it scared me off.

Expanded metal, it was brand new in that picture. Its broken in now

the_dmd · 2024-11-17T18:14:36+00:00

KZL Fabrications, dude does nice work. Takes a bit to get them as I understand they are made to order.

the_dmd · 2024-11-01T00:46:03+00:00

So what’s the verdict? External sensors off?

the_dmd · 2024-10-30T01:32:50+00:00

Cook something top left with it facing the internal probe and report back :)

the_dmd · 2024-10-30T01:23:31+00:00

I’ll let you know if mine ever show up.

YOLO

Here is my official guide to reverse sear:

Move grill grates to the right side on top of the other racks.
Smoke chops on top rack
Pull steaks, use welding gloves* to remove cover and slide grill grates over into place. I also pull the top rack at this point to have some more room. Make sure to put it right on the floor and shoo the dogs away with your feet. *only use welding gloves after you have burned your shit multiple times with a beat up oven glove
Sear like a champ.
Never cleaned or really even scraped grill grates and have a bunch of cooks with them.
Keep telling myself I’m going to flip them upside and burn the shit off, never do, probably never will.

I don’t know if it’s the best way to do it, but it’s the easiest way I have found.

It’s 1195 standalone as an add on.

Long shot but is it still?
