Yoder Pellet Smoked Chex Mix

We finally kicked off our fall baking tonight with a couple batches of Chex Mix.  One the traditional way in the oven...the other on the Yoder pellet grill, just to experiment.  I fired up my YS-640 to 250 degrees and threw together a batch of Chex Mix using the standard recipe and smoked it for one hour.  It wasn't quite done after that so I finished it in the oven for another 30 minutes to crisp it up.  This was outstanding!  The hickory pellets gave the Chex Mix a nice subtle bacon flavor.  If it tastes like bacon, it ain't bad!

Smoke Stack Sandwiches

I had some leftover pulled pork and hot links from this past weekend's smoke on my new Yoder Smokers YS-640, so I decided to make my own version of a Smoke Stack.  Just pile high the warmed up pulled pork with some slices of the hot links, all on a butter toasted bun with a little BBQ sauce.  Now your in hog heaven!

Bacon Mushroom Melt Burgers

The Yoder Smokers YS-640 arrived this past week and after a little troubleshooting from the guys at Yoder, I'm back to BBQ'n.  Thanks Eric, Andy, Don, and Joe for all your efforts.  The maiden cook for the YS-640 was some Bacon Mushroom Melt Burgers.  Here's how it all went down.

Firing up the Yoder YS-640 to 550 degrees for some burgers

While the burgers were grilling, I sautéed some mushrooms and fried up some bacon.  When the burgers were done, I topped them off with some American cheese on the grill to melt.  The burgers were served up with the mushrooms, bacon, and topped off with some Cheez Whiz.  Here they are all finished up.

Bacon, Mushrooms, Cheese and more Cheese...can't go wrong there!
