For the yoder. All of those subtle hints paid off. Going to be a lot easier to vac out firepot. Reinforced to withstand high heat so it can stay in all the time and a removable plate for direct grilling

Besides being a pain to remove and vacuum they have been know to warp. My has a smile of about a half inch. Not a huge deal, just have to use a steel rod to keep it straight. The old ones are supposed to come out above 400, this one can stay in all the time....supposedlyYoder YS480

As Brian said, it's a pain to remove the heat diffuser each time to clean out the burn grate and firebox. I read a lot about how expensive these are but I don't see any other pellet manufacturer making improvements to their smokers that current users can apply.
When they added the reinforced burn grate and firebox, both are made so that the user can upgrade them and are a definite improvement to the original design. Now with the upgrade to the heat diffuser it's like getting a new smoker without having to actually buy one!Yoder YS640

Well I got one today. Shipping was free and pretty fast ground FedX. Instead of placing the diffuser plate on the YS640 front shelf and placing alum foil over the full surface, I'll still use wide Alum foil, but instead of wrapping it around the edges, I'll use 4 small strong magnets to hold the foil down.

I don't use my 640 in sear mode much, because you have to take the diffuser out etc. Now I can pull the alum foil, pull the door, put on the sear grill and steaks at high temps. Yum.
Cleaning the grill after shorter cooks is going to be so much easier. All that needs done is pull the door out and use my small canister vacuum dedicated to the grills. Big longer cooks I need to still clean out a bit more.
Dedicated vacuum because I used it on the grill once, the wife made me get her one for the garage and her woodwork. No worries, she does great hobby stuff, I make great food.....
