In August of 2011 I was debating between a Cookshack Fast Eddy PG1000 and a Yoder 640. Was down to a flip of the coin. Went with the Cookshack.
While the PG1000 has done well with great cooks over the years, it is getting tired and bits and pieces have been giving up at inopportune times so I decided that a new grill is in order. Since the coin flipped one way last time, I went the other way the day before yesterday.
Picked up a new Yoder 640s Competition Cart with drawer and all SS grates on Tuesday. Brought my enclosed 5×10 cargo trailer, but the cooker and pallet were too tall. Resorted to tossing the pallet and tying it down for the 35 mile trip home.
Unloading nearly 500 lbs. of cooker and getting it up onto the deck by myself was an exercise in repetitive baby steps, but it is all in place and we did a pork loin roast last night.
The PG1000 is still working, but it’s future is up in the air.

Looks great! Knowing my luck, I would have dropped that beautiful $4k smoker on my foot, face, or fell over under it trying to heft it up any stairs or curbs alone.
That Yoder looks like a beast compared to the Cookshack. You mentioned great success with the Cookshack so would like to hear more when you begin cooking on the Yoder.
