I bought a Yoder YS640 this past Summer to cook some Texas BBQ. I’ve run the gamut of Boston Butts, Briskets. Chickens, Turkey, Pork Ribs, Reversed Seared Steaks, Pizza. What are some things to try next?

Goat or lamb if you have access

Beef ribs are my favorite, your local Costco may have them. Mine just got them again after a 6 month hiatus.

How do you like your Yoder? I’ve been eyeing that one for a while.

It’s awesome. Built like a tank. Holds temp really well and can sear in excess of 600F. I’m a novice at smoking and have been incredibly pleased with the results.

I have YS480, almost 2 years old. We love it, use it several times a week. Have some pork fingers smoking low right now that I'm going to throw in jambalaya later. I agree with the poster above, try some beef ribs if you can get them. Our favorite by far...

I've had the ys640 for a little over 2 years and I agree it's phenomenal. Also agree on the beef ribs.
Very versatile machine. Built like a tank and they keep coming out with accessories like the cast iron griddle. The direct grilling versatility really sets it apart. Hardly ever use my gas grill anymore

Cold smoke cheese (apple), cold smoke salmon. Hot smoke tuna or whisky-brined salmon (alder).

That slab of boneless short rib is OMG.
I have to go to a different Costco in the same city because the one closest to me doesn't carry it.

Pork Shanks aka Pig Wings. If you can find them, they are awesome to smoke. But they are hard to find. The bone acts like a little holder and once you put your sauce on and let it caramelize, it's awesome. I have seen them come pre cooked as well, so that is always an option.
I got a 5 lb box for Thanksgiving and they were the star of the show. Each shank is about 4 oz. Do some research and you will soon be looking for them to try

Skin on pork belly if done right is outta this world, it hits you with so many flavors and texture variants. You have a layer of tender smoked pork, a layer of rendered fat that is like candied meat jelly, and then the delcious crunch of cracklin.

When y’all recommend beef ribs...do you mean beef back ribs or beef short ribs?

Chicken Wings
I did wings last night, they were great. However, i always have trouble smoking them, as I don't get my fire low enough, and the flare ups from the chicken juice tend to keep the grill hotter than normal. I did, however, use a beer brine with some homebrew IPA and the end result was great. 1/2 were coated with Louisiana Wing Sauce and the other half was a Parmesan garlic recipe.

If you like it and are ok with the time it takes, turning a cured brisket into pastrami is well worth it.
