Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whisky" data-source="post: 107472" data-attributes="member: 661">Pellet vs Kamado cookers ??I have, use and love both. Have a L BGE and a Yoder ys640 with comp cart. Have had the BGE for 3-4 years and the Yoder for about 5 months. The MAIN reason I bought the Yoder was capacity. The L BGE is just too small a lot of time. The second primary reason was the quick and easy start up. I can be smoking on the Yoder in 10-15 minutes. The BGE takes about an hour to get going. Gotta clean the ash. Stock the lump. Light. Get it up to temp. Wait for it to stabilize, and burn clean. Sometimes its nice to just hit the on switch... They are both set it and forget it. Once you get the Egg where it needs to be it takes care of itself for the most part. Food - I  was disappointed with some of the food off the Yoder as compared to the Egg at first. I knew there was less smoke with pellet grills in general, and the Yoder was supposed to be one of the better ones for producing more smoke, but on pork ribs and butts it tasted like they were cooked in an oven. Beef and chicken was ok. Definitely not the smoke flavor like the Egg. There are a couple solutions and they have been working ok. I am concerned how the Yoder will be in Winter. To me it seems to burn through pellets pretty fast now so it'll be much worse come cooler temps. This January I smoked ribs no prob in negative temps on the Egg. Both are a bitch to haul anywhere. I hauled my Egg once, never again. With the Yoder comp cart I can wheel it on a utility trailer and haul it that way if need be.The Yoder felt like cheating at first (it is) but the convenience is nice sometimes. And on the slower days I can cook on the Egg. I still grill a lot on the BGE but since the Yoder is still fairly new most smoking has been done on that since I'm trying to dial it in...Glad I got both. Couldnt pick just one.....Although a bigger Egg would be tempting</blockquote>
