Hey BBQ lovers! Tom Jackson over at allthingsbbq is back with the exciting finale of his Total Transformation series. If you’ve been following along, you know he’s taken a 2013 Yoder YS640 pellet grill from a rusty relic to a practically brand-new cooker. And let me tell you, this video is a treat for anyone who loves grilling!
Applying the Anti-Corrosion Formula
In this episode, we kick things off with Tom applying ACF-50 anti-corrosion formula all over the grill. This stuff is fantastic for protecting your investment from the elements. Next, he throws on some accessories—hello grease shield and stainless steel shelves! These little upgrades make a big difference when it comes to usability.
The First Cook
Now, let’s talk about that first start-up. At a scorching 500°F, Tom runs a burn-in to clean out any leftover dust and chemicals from the rebuild. Once that’s done, it’s time to season the grill. And what better way to do that than with a spread of bacon, juicy burgers, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and a succulent pork shoulder? Trust me, you’ll want to have a napkin handy because this cook is sure to make your mouth water!
Tech Savvy Grillin’
But wait, there’s more! Tom also dives into the new tech features of the Yoder. He sets up the Fireboard app so you can monitor the grill’s temp right from your phone. Who doesn’t love high-tech BBQ? This upgrade means you can keep tabs on your cook without standing by the grill the whole time.
Reflecting on the Restoration
As he wraps up, Tom takes a moment to reflect on everything he replaced throughout the series. He emphasizes that most Yoder owners won’t need to do a complete teardown. Just basic upkeep goes a long way in keeping your grill in top shape!
So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started with your own grill adventures, you need to check this one out. Tom brings this project home with authenticity, humor, and a genuine passion for BBQ culture. Support him by watching the full transformation!
