<![CDATA[Anyone Own a Yoder Smoker?]]>Been looking into getting a new smoker. Want a heavy wall, offset stick burner. The Big Box store one I have is about worn out after ~10 years. The fire box burner out and welded in a patch but…they are too think and don’t hold heat in Colorado’s winters.

I’m currently looking at the Yoder 20" Wichita and the 24" Kingman. A 30" would be nice for the volume to help stabilize temps more but I’d have to go back to work to afford that. NOT going to happen! LOL

Not into verticals, electrics or pellet poppers. To much good wood around here to use.

Try a custom built smoker from Cotton Gin Smokers

I’m not sure about the ownership, but I would say they are closely aligned if nothing else.

Not sure on stock but All Things BBQ is owned by the same people as Yoder Smokers, if I’m remembering correctly.

They are impressive and built like a tank.

My shipping cost to Alaska was $800 bucks. You folks in the lower 48 get them good shipping rates!

The $150 is for freight to me or the Springs store from Hutchinson KS . They will ship direct if you want.

Maybe there is a way I could bring one down and save you the 150? Let me know if that is a possibility.

sidpost I keep watching but nothing so far. Fingers crossed.

Bob Stehlik Good idea, I’ll see if anyone up there has one.

AG0D He seemed like a real nice guy and at $150 shipping he got my attention. Everyone else was around $450.

caitlincolorado Thanks for the info. I’ve heard the wind can cause the Wichita to back draft a little but not concerned about that. I built a three wall pit area (cinder block) 10 years ago and the open end faces the garage. Not hardly a draft in there. 🙂

Tex_77 I like the idea of going to Wichita to pick one up. Then I could go harass Walton’s! LOL

It’s great, he can do 6 racks of ribs at a time. I think he has a little air flow issue so some spots are hotter than others, I’m fuzzy on the details but nothing a little rotation of meat doesn’t fix if it’s full. He has a fireboard thermometer so he can monitor inside easy. He’s happy with it. The freight could kill ya so he ended up with a floor model from the dealer in GJ when that guys stopped carrying them. Definitely make the trip to the Springs.

Just saw a really clean Klose sell for $925 close to where I live (Dallas area).

Personally, in the current economic climate, I would keep an eye out for a used smoker. My Evie Mae 24"x48" pipe-smoker was only $1100, lovingly and gently used by its previous owner. Come January when Christmas bills come due and people start thinking about April 15th, nice rarely used smokers seem to turn up pretty often, at least pre-COVID.

You might give a call and see if they have the Wichita in stock. They use it as there cover pic for Yoder.

It is nice that it is just around the corner from where I live.

Sister use to live there. It’s an 8-12 week wait for them to build one. Dave said they were swamped right now. If they had one I’d wire the money and grab the flatbed. Guess I have to go to the bottom of the waiting list. 😞

I found a video of the plant and it’s impressive. CNC cutters everywhere. Some of the other manufacturers are hand cut and look it when you see them. My nearest dealer is 50 miles away and only stocks pellet poppers. 8-12 week wait will surely kill me. lol
