[QUOTE="Whisky, post: 312000, member: 661"] Regarding flavor....when I first got my Yoder I was very dissatisfied with the lack of wood taste. One of the things that led me to Yoder (besides awesome built in USA quality) was the fact many claimed they produce as close to stick burning flavor as you can get in a pellet cooker. Still, I was disappointed. I had been used to Eggs and Weber kettles, heavy smoke. Well, turns out the convenience of the pellet grill eventually won me over, and I hadn't used my XL BGE as a smoker in about year. Last weekend I decided to clean it up real good, and the next day reverse seared an elk tri tip. I only used 1 chunk of hickory, and 100% lump. The results, too F'n smoky. Tasted like an ash tray, and I ran a clean fire (well, as clean as you can get in an Egg). Funny how tastes change.
