FedEx showed up at 3:15 yesterday afternoon and started unloading my baby. Once on the driveway I started taking the wrappings off and pulling the pallet apart. After an hour or two I managed to coax it up on the deck.
Started today by leveling it on my 'not so new' deck followed by a quick wipe down inside & out. Next I fired it up for a couple hour burn-in at 350°, followed by a cool down and oiling the grates. Then loaded up 3 pounds of cheap bacon from Wal-Mart and cooked at 275° to start getting it greasy.
By the time all that was done I was ready to call it a day, so on with the cover and a good night hug! After reading the posts on the '640 here and elsewhere I was prepared for the few little quirks in it's operation and ended up very pleased with the first day! ;D
So far I agree with what other owners have said; you just push the start button and leave it to do it's thing. Now I need to figure out how to stay home and still have money for food & pellets! ::)

Thanks muebe, and hiker the Bacon's done and partially eaten! It took longer to stumble through editing this post to add pics that it did to cook the stuff.

Welcome to the pellet world! Awesome cooker!
-
congrats. very cool. :)

What a beauty. Congrats!

Congrats on the new pellet pooper. Once you start cooking low and slow on your new grill, you will probably have to buy a vacuum sealer, if you don't already have one. You will have a lot of fine food to seal into future meals. Enjoy the fun!

lift her skirt up and lets see the inside of her. I do have a question for ya. why the ys640 and not the ys480? just curious. :)
-
Congrats, I'd love to add one to my arsenal
-
Thanks everyone! I'm pretty tickled to have that thing on my deck. Why, just the daydreamin' about what to cook will make the work day go faster!
...you will probably have to buy a vacuum sealer... Art
You're probably right Art. I'll be smoking way more than we can eat.
...OK, enough congrats. Now get to cooking so we can see some food pics! :P ;D
My idea exactly ;) . Thinking about making a pocket in the cover for the camera... just to help me remember to use it.
...I cooked on one once at the fall gathering 2012... Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ
I remember reading about that Pam, and your comments fit right in to my research! Thanks
Congratulations. That thermal jacket will make a big difference in pellet consumption.
That's what I was hoping. 'Course the return from pellet savings will take a long time to realize, but it may give me a little more nap time on long cooks ;)

I don't know if they're any bigger Hub, but they sure made their presence known the next morning! ??? By the way, I've enjoyed reading your many posts and articles. It sure has helped me!
...why the ys640 and not the ys480?... :)
It didn't seem like that much more money to get the bigger one ('least that's what I said to the wife). If I were to be honest though I'd have to admit that I just liked the bigger model. May need the extra room some day.

What took so long to get it unpalleted and cooking you slacker ;) :D!! It's a great grill and you are going to enjoy it for a long time. It kinda scary when you pay the bill, but man it's worth it.

Congrats! Those things are built great. I'm sure you are going to love it.
