Modular by Design
This two‑piece stainless steel second shelf is purpose‑built for the Yoder Smokers YS480 and YS640 pellet grills. The rear section slides in first to create a half‑depth setup. When you want more space, the front section nests into place to form a full‑depth shelf that runs the entire width of the cooking chamber.
Key Features
- Two‑piece design allows flexible configuration: full‑depth or shallow shelf
- Runs the full width of your YS480 or YS640 cooking chamber
- Front section removes easily for improved access to the main grate
- High‑grade stainless steel for lasting durability and easy cleanup
- Installs securely on existing Yoder second‑shelf rails — no tools required
Upside‑Down Installation
For extra vertical clearance, install the assembly upside down. This creates an even deeper second shelf than the original—ideal for larger pans, whole poultry, and layered cooks.
Real‑World Flexibility
- Full‑Depth: Maximize capacity for ribs, pork shoulders, or multiple pans.
- Half‑Depth: Remove the front half for easier access when searing or flipping.
- Deeper Clearance: Flip it upside down to accommodate tall items and cookware.
Quick Start
- Slide the rear section into the existing second‑shelf rails.
- Use as a half‑depth shelf or add the front section for full‑depth.
- Optional: Invert the assembly for a deeper upper shelf.
