UPDATE -
I got an email asking me to call to cover the sales tax for the giveaway. Ever had to do that for a prize you’ve won?
it was $24
I called immediately lol. Guy said they’d be back in touch with delivery info. Also asked him if my idea had gotten through to them about upgrading to the larger version with competition setup? He said, “we were able to upgrade you, yes.” Nothing was said about charging me anything more than the sales tax.
I’ll update again when more comes my way. Interesting, right? This is a very cool experience.Large BGE and Medium BGE

That is awesome man. I thought maybe you would have to pay income taxes on the prize as well.South of Columbus, Ohio.

The income tax is lurking but likely can be "forgotten". Great package.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

MaskedMarvel said:Hello friends!
I entered a contest at All Things BBQ and got an email that I’d won their November prize package. Included will be a Yoder YS480s.I’m thinking about emailing and upgrading to the next size up with the competition cart, if they’ll let me..
anyway. It isn’t here yet, and I’m a pessimist. This thing weighs like 280 pounds lol. We’ll see!I’m very interested to see how this turns out!

At 33lbs it may just be the tax paperwork you need to fill out, have notarized, and send back. Then they can put you in line for the goods.Snellville, GA

Been there with a freight delivery company and the shipping deal was to deliver to the base of driveway as it came off a semi-truck. Showed up in the predicted two hour window. Talked to the driver who had a pallet jack (needed to get the rig off the truck-aka lift gate 390 lbs crated) and asked if me or he could use it to run the rig to the top of the driveway. (Small incline). He agreed and we got it where I could then deal with the uncrating and follow-on placement. One step down was the extent of any verticals.Good luck as this is a minor deal in the grand scheme of things. Again congrats on the win.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

When one receives a 450 lbs FedEx delivery, don’t let the freight guy convince you to open the box differently than the arrows.I managed to get it back sideways like they wanted and assembled the entire thing. Whew.Instructions leave a little to be desired - I definitely put the legs in upside down. Once I did it, I saw what they meant.Delivery didn’t include the ROYAL OAK part of my prize, which means no pellets, among other things. Delivery WAS upgraded to the larger 640 size, which is amazing to me. Regular cart. If you buy one, definitely get their “competition cart” so it moves easier. I am not complaining. This thing is a beast.Currently completely oiled and running a “burn in” to sterilize and get an initial coat of protectant seasoning started on the steel.Thanks for reading and not burying this thread!
I will update after a first cook.Large BGE and Medium BGE

Nothing like messing about with a new Q toy. Unless the pellets are arriving solo you can select your own desired wood flavours (nod). Quite a rig.
