The Best Charcoal Grill. Redesigned. Reengineered. Ready.
For more than a decade, the Yoder Smokers Flat Top Charcoal Grill has earned a loyal following among backyard cooks, competition teams, and restaurants across the country. Its reputation was built on capacity, control, and toughness. In 2025, Yoder pushed that foundation further. The Flat Top has been redesigned from the ground up, and the result is a charcoal grill that feels both familiar and entirely new.
What’s Changed
The headline feature is the dual stack airflow system. Two chimney stacks work with redesigned lower vents to deliver balanced draft, precise heat management, and effortless zone cooking.
The cook body is reengineered for strength. With fewer welds and smart expansion clearance, the Flat Top flexes less, seals tighter, and maintains alignment through years of heating and cooling.
The layout is now reversible, ready for either left- or right-hand cooking workflows. Bolt-on components replace old weld points, making service and upgrades simpler—and ensuring this grill is built for the long haul.
Add a redesigned charcoal basket for cleaner, more efficient burns and an all-new bottom shelf for durable storage, and you’ve got a grill that cooks smarter, not harder.

Core DNA
At its heart, the Flat Top still delivers the features that made it a favorite. The five-position adjustable charcoal tray gives precise command over the fire. A full-length ash and grease tray slides out for quick cleanup. Indirect setups are simple, and the heavy-duty stainless hardware—from the front shelf to the hinges—is built to last.
Built Like a Yoder
The body is 10-gauge steel, the lid is 12-gauge steel, and the charcoal basket is 7-gauge steel. Each grill is handcrafted in Kansas and backed by a 10-year body warranty.
The Choice Is Yours
Two sizes fit the way you cook: 24×36 (864 sq in) for everyday family meals, and 24×48 (1,152 sq in) for serious capacity. Both deliver the same redesigned performance and durability.
The Bottom Line
The 2025 Yoder Smokers Adjustable Flat Top Charcoal Grill isn’t just an update—it’s an evolution. Smarter airflow, stronger construction, and everyday usability make it the best charcoal grill, redesigned from the ground up.
