Tarrant
<Prior Amod>
I have a canopy over mine, it makes a night and day difference when using it in the rain in terms of keeping temperatures and I’ve never had a seepage issue. It was $100 and a great investment, honestly.Yeah they can. Check your local dealers.
My next grill once the gmg dies will be yoder or something equiv. Love the gmg except for when it rains water seeps into the hopper.
Crone as far as Yonder goes, they are great, heavy as shit (10 gauge steel as opposed to powder coated that most competition uses), quality, made in the USA grills. Their heat retention is good, the materials they use are good, heavy and quality. Hell the hood doors on them are so heavy they build counter weights on them to ensure they stay open upon opening them.
my issue is them is only this, really, and that’s they advertise a lifetime warranty
when it’s not. And their warranty is all over the place.
10 years on the main cooking chamber against burn through
3 years in the controller, motor and fans
3 years in the igniter
6 MONTHS on everything else.
I have no issues with their warranty lengths, but the wording over it is very deceptive and as a consumer, I can’t stand that type of thing.
Yonders also come with a variable damper on one side which allows you to regulate the heat on one side more easily without adjusting the actual temp, which is nice. They also have always used a ceramic igniter which means twice the start up speed and they last longer.
Yonders biggest problems are the digital tech they use for their apps. They aren’t as user friendly as say, Traeger’s and aren’t well suited to beginners. If you are experienced though and know what all the data that Yonders app is throwing at you (and it’s a lot) then you’re good to go...but for a casual, it can be overwhelming.
if you have the money, and don’t plan on moving it much (unless you go with their competition line which are easier to move but VASTLY more expensive) I’d recommend going with them. Just be aware of their warranty wording issues when diving in.
Hope this helped.
