That LonestarGrillz is smoking every time you open it! The meat also looked like it was smokier (darker). I understand you're trying to keep both companies happy Joe, but your reaction says it without you verbalizing it. I'm with you brother.
Not sure how the temperature control was on both smokers but if you have 2 smokers cooking at the same temperature the only way one is cooking faster is if the temps are spiking or swinging. 225° is 225°. 👍🏼
I’m thinking convection and the thermocoupler may have something to do with it also moister. Both where set at 225 not to say that’s 100% were they held
It looks like the LSG has more smoke, and does that rack on bottom of the LSG slide out? I'm looking at both of these pits and want something that has better features. Seems like the LSG cooks faster and more evenly. If the LSG went faster why did you leave them on for the same time? When they are done they are done so competition style doesn't matter.
I've got my eye on the LSG Insulated Vertical cabinet smokers... probably the large one since it's doubel the space of the Mini for only $400 more, but it's goot to know that LSG makes the best Pellet smoker as I figured they would.
Enjoyed watching another great video, ribs and burgers looked awesome. It would be interesting to see a different thermometer (ThermoWorks Smoke??) monitor the ambient temps to see if there is any difference versus the set temp. Thanks for all the hard work!
THANK YOU SO MUCH For doing this side by side smoker comparison as I was on the fence. I’m in CA. & going to have to pay the price to have the LSG shipped all the way out here vs pickin up the Yoder locally.which would always stick in the back of my mind how the LSG edged out the Yoder. This is not the first time I’ve see the the LSG compared to other pellet smokers.
@@SouthernCoastalCookingTM I actually turned away. I think if it was not so close would have been better. Took away from the message. I could not watch, sorry
Those are two very nice pits there Joe. I always enjoy your videos and your family must have consumed mass quantities of food. Heck, those two ribs and half of a burger would have filled me up. What a fun time you must have had. I enjoyed this one and look forward to more cooks!!
Nice video, one of your friends on the yoder page sent me here. I'd go with the Lonestar, mainly because it's made in Texas 🍻. Any paint issues with the Lonestar?
I'm in the market and leaning towards one of these two. I'd be curious if 2 years later you find yourself going to one more often than the other and why?
I know this wasn’t scientific Joe but you said the same thing about the LSG cooking faster on the biscuit test. So that tells me you might as well ditch that Yoder so you can spend more time with the family instead of waiting on that Yoder to play catch up!! Haha Obviously those Louies were almost done on the LSG when you added the touch up rub but I think your next comparison cook off you need to start a stop watch on both and cook them to probe tender so you can see who finishes first. Plus that LSG seems to on video be producing way more smoke and that is very impressive and great to hear you notice it as well. I know you are having fun with this and you love your Yoder but from what I have seen here and on Facebook the LSG is the team to beat. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Southern Coastal, if you had to pick one smoker, which would it be? It blows me away every time I see a Lone Star - the amount of smoke is insane. Does that have an impact on flavor?
The lip smacking chewing is too much. If you are going to compare, give an honest review. Did the LSG have better smoke profile? Did the YS hold its own…please give more details on what each did, not so much sunglasses and chomping. Love that you did this comparison, but please give your feedback on which is best and why. Both looked amazing by the way…
Damn dude...Were you never taught to CHEW WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED!?!?!?!? I mean, I like the videos, but the moment you start smacking with your mouth wide open, me and my wife have to end the video.
Smack away ! Maybe the critics should try making their own videos. I appreciate your work as I am currently shopping for my 2nd smoker. I have a Lang 48 and I'm looking to add a top of the line pellet smoker. Leaning towards the LSG. Thanks again!
Not gonna lie. I had my yoder ys640s for a year now. Kinda pissed i didnt get the lone star. Dont get me wrong makes awesome food. My question is. Where the hell do u position your damper. I habe mine pushed in 5 inches and the smome stack side is always wayyyyy fricken hotter. Plus when smoking lets say 3 racks of ribs only. Do u always use bottom or do you use the top. I always use the top. Wish i would of went lone star
Fun video, thanks! I would love to see the Fireboard data logs for both grills so I could compare the two. That is the beauty of Fireboard is that it gives you some real insights to pit behaviors in addition to your visual observations.
@@SouthernCoastalCookingTM yeah just wondering. I didn't know maybe if the heating element might be a little bit more wore out or whatever. Hell I don't know.
Have you grilled at higher temps on the Lone Star? I’m considering both the Lone Star and Yoder. I grill almost as much as I smoke. From what I’ve read people love Yoder’s for their versatility. Does the Lone Star match Yoder’s versatility?
Hello Joe. Loved all your new Lone Star Grilz videos. I’m on deck to buy one if their pellet grills and after watching your clips I’m leaning towards the LSG. There really isn’t a lot of content on these newer grills. I’ve looked at the Yoder, RecTec and Pitts and spits. I’d love your opinion, if you could only have one which one??
Joe...check out LSG's NEW wood chips made specifically for their pellet grills... these specific sized wood chips can be combined up to a 50/50 mix with any pellet of choice... They're thought behind this is to produce as close as possible of smoke flavor as an offset.. p.s would love to see someone do a low and slow with the combination so we out here in TH-cam land can get an honest 3rd party opinion on the results...Blessings
No matter what smoker u get of any brand in the world. Make sure to get yearly physicals and have cholesterol and triglyceride's checked. Food is so good you will have to keep an eye on those arteries lol
Dang! If that was a taste test I'd hate to see you when you're hungry! You inhaled those two ribs. 😃 Great video and those ribs looked wonderful indeed. Thanks for the review.
All the smacking.... OMG. Both pits are probably great. Based on the fact that he inhaled and smacked the LSG down faster.... I'd say it's the winner. LMAO.
Jeremy i totally agree. I havent odered my first smoker yet. But i was first going to get tge YS 640 then more research lead me to change to getting the pittsnspitts. Now i was just about to put my order in and came across the LSG. Now i think i found exactly what i want with all the features i wanted. What a grill this is. Watching joe open the pitts up clarifies how much more smoke the LSG puts out over the yoder its not even close. The hit on pellet smokers is not enough smoke. But this LSG seems to do extremely well with the amount it puts out.
Interesting…Ford vs Chevy. Looks like thee LG ribs were overcooked. Nothing on your technique but seems only way to do that is poor temp controller (on LG) or too much time which I don’t think happened. Wonder why you didn’t use searing grates for burgers on Yoder. Not sure if LG has a high temp (700+) sear capability like Yoder. Thanks for the vid!
Joe, I don’t know if you live in South Mississippi, but it’s Gods Miracle you all got spared from Hurricane Ida! It’s insane how Waveland is all fine and about 30 miles away in Louisiana, it’s a Disaster! Yes, I know all about Hurricane Katrina Ground Zero is Waveland!
@@benjamincoon3158 You eat with your eyes first. LSG overcooked on this video, no doubt about that. nobody likes a mushy rib. Maybe a redo of this video and pull the LSG sooner would settle things. I have both cookers and I would not say the LSG dominates. LSG is a fine cooker no doubt but not dominating.
i'm sorry but look like a Lonestar is the only pellet grill that smokes constantly!! Hands down.. I've had an old Pit boss 1100 that I sold in 2020.. I was getting zero smoke flavor and got tired of people saying to get smoke tubes or drill a hole on my pit and install a cold smoke generator.. Well looks like with Lonestar i wont need any of those gadgets!! I've looked at getting a new pit boss, a GMG, rectec and even a Pitts and Spitts before spitts grills went to $3,000.. Im gonna say screw those.. I will be getting me a good gas grill for now and save up for a Lonestar baby!
@@SouthernCoastalCookingTM I own a YS640 and one thing I will say is that LSG definitely produces more smoke than the Yoder by a long shot. With that said I’m not sure that’s good ord bad as to much smoke can be bitter on the food.
@@bbqbandit3453 you will never over smoke anything on a pellet grill, never. Those ribs on the LSG obviously were done when Joe added a little touch up rub. My guess a lot of fellas are going to be posting their Yoder’s on Facebook market place real soon.
I'm looking to upgrade from a Smokin Brothers Premier Plus 30. Which 1 would you buy?
Which pellet grill did you like more? Which would you recommend regardless of budget?
Wish you picked a side but I understand that you had to satisfy both manufactures to support your income.
Is one grill a lot louder than the other? Thank you!!!
That LonestarGrillz is smoking every time you open it! The meat also looked like it was smokier (darker). I understand you're trying to keep both companies happy Joe, but your reaction says it without you verbalizing it. I'm with you brother.
Thanks for watching and reading between the lines lol
@@SouthernCoastalCookingTM love your videos brother!
There’s a reason one has a ten year warranty on chamber and the other has a lifetime warranty…Easy choice…
@@shawnfairleigh2825 yep. That Yoder rust bucket made with silicon is inferior.
How did the rib and burger test come out with the others?
Not sure how the temperature control was on both smokers but if you have 2 smokers cooking at the same temperature the only way one is cooking faster is if the temps are spiking or swinging. 225° is 225°. 👍🏼

@@SouthernCoastalCookingTM 👍🏼 Those smoked Burgers looked delicious.
I just ordered one 20x42 Pallet Smoker from Lone Star Grillz :)
I was looking at his grills for a while :) finally decided to get one ☝️:)
So how you like your lsg?
It looks like the LSG has more smoke, and does that rack on bottom of the LSG slide out? I'm looking at both of these pits and want something that has better features. Seems like the LSG cooks faster and more evenly. If the LSG went faster why did you leave them on for the same time? When they are done they are done so competition style doesn't matter.
Yes the rack on the bottom slides out. In the beginning of the video I had said I was going to cook at the same time and temp setting regardless
So which one win
I've got my eye on the LSG Insulated Vertical cabinet smokers... probably the large one since it's doubel the space of the Mini for only $400 more, but it's goot to know that LSG makes the best Pellet smoker as I figured they would.
oh yeah all their smokers are great
Enjoyed watching another great video, ribs and burgers looked awesome. It would be interesting to see a different thermometer (ThermoWorks Smoke??) monitor the ambient temps to see if there is any difference versus the set temp. Thanks for all the hard work!
Thanks for watching and that’s a good idea about using a different thermometer
Did the LSG ribs have more smoke flavor than the YS640? Common issue with pellets are lack of smoke flavor.
A little more
What brand of knife is that?
Have you tried Yoder Customer Service? They are awesome and could probably answer this for you.
Love the LSG I should be getting mine in the next couple weeks it's been in fabrication since 08/20. Thanks for the video
Thanks, you are gonna love yours once it gets there
How are you enjoying your LSG?
Care to share the burger recipe?
Which one?

just contacted LSG. 4 month lead time on these pellet smokers! But I live in Dallas and can go pick one up with truck!
Could have done without all the smacking and eating part.

Im glad someone is finally doing comparison cooks on these two. Throw in the smokin bros premier plus and you will have the dream team
Thank I will have to look up the Smokin Bros Premier
What do you oil your smokers down with? That Yoder looked damn shiny.
I’ll try and use mineral oil or lard
Mineral oil is best because it doesn’t go rancid
I'm in the market and leaning towards one of these two. I'd be curious if 2 years later you find yourself going to one more often than the other and why?
Both have served me well I really just go to whichever one’s more convenient to get out of the garage
Looks like the lsg rocked it. More smoke and cooked faster! The Yoder seemed like there was no smoke when you open it sometime
Both turned out good. But yes a little more smoke in the LSG
Gotta learn your pit. Find the hot spots and the thermal/smoke dynamics. You can cook the Yoder more quickly with more smoke with a higher temp.
I know this wasn’t scientific Joe but you said the same thing about the LSG cooking faster on the biscuit test. So that tells me you might as well ditch that Yoder so you can spend more time with the family instead of waiting on that Yoder to play catch up!! Haha Obviously those Louies were almost done on the LSG when you added the touch up rub but I think your next comparison cook off you need to start a stop watch on both and cook them to probe tender so you can see who finishes first.

Anyone in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area have one of these that I can come over and look at?
Hey Joe do you still have the Yoder Kingman?
Yes I sure do
Do you think that the LSG is cooking faster because it is newer than your Yoder?
I don’t think that would make much difference but it’s possible
@@SouthernCoastalCookingTM yeah just wondering. I didn't know maybe if the heating element might be a little bit more wore out or whatever. Hell I don't know.
@@kentsatterfield6617 there's no heating element in a pellet smoker. They both ignite wood pellets, and those burning pellets produce the heat.
I'm thinking the heating element is closer to the grates on the LSG compared to the Yoder.
Temp and time yet one cooks faster than the other. Tells me either one is reading lower that indicates or the one is higher than indicates.
maybe?
...or maybe the differences in the designs of the cooking chambers will change the way they perform.
Have you grilled at higher temps on the Lone Star? I’m considering both the Lone Star and Yoder. I grill almost as much as I smoke. From what I’ve read people love Yoder’s for their versatility. Does the Lone Star match Yoder’s versatility?
