Congrats on the GC

Fantastic photo. Awesome that you are picking up Toyota as a potential sponsor...

Oh what a feeling, It's Swine Thyme :biggrin1:

Thanks!

HAHA! I wish!

How much better is it compared to the 640? Is it just roomier or do you feel it cooks better?

Prospero worked hard this weekend at the Logandale IBCA competition. In the end we managed a 1st in Chicken, 2nd in Brisket, and a 6th in Ribs and GRAND CHAMPION. Prospero is proving to be a fierce force to be reckoned with.

Well done, Sir! :clap2:

Well, I can't speak from experience here, because I have never personally cooked on a 640. Pretty much everything I've read steers towards the 1500's ability to put on flavor reminiscent of a stick burner, and I would have to agree.

Well done, Sir! :clap2:

Thanks!

I would be remiss not to post the obligatory turkey shot cooked on Prospero. I injected it with cajun butter and cooked it at 275 with cherry and oak..... the cinnamon rolls were glazed with a vanilla-orange icing.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

That is some great color on those birds.

Thanks Kevin. I really like the color cherry and oak put on food, when burning cleanly.

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I did but I try to make everyday holiday :wink:

I hope you had a great day as well.

I've never really considered a pellet, but this thread has me considering one now. The ys1500 looks awful nice and if it produces results like a big offset, that makes it real tempting. Congrats on the rig and the success you are having with it

Personally, I think you would love it! The best pellet cooker I've ever owned. I like all pellet cookers, but this one does the job like no other that I have owned.
