“Love this grill. No issues. Far better than my previous pellet grills.” - Matt, 

Cook With Confidence. Taste the Difference.

If you regularly cook at home, you’ve found the limits of your basic grill—gas, pellet, or charcoal, doesn’t matter. It gets dinner done, but does it produce such delicious food, so consistently, that you look forward to cooking?

You will with a YS640s.

It gives the everyday cook more options, more consistency, and more genuine wood-fired flavor without making meals complicated. 

All of this means more confidence. And when you know your food will be great, the question becomes simple: What should I cook? The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Go ahead, get creative. 

Now we’re having fun. Now we’re cooking with a grill we can trust.

The Standard Cart - The flagship YS640s grill on a cart equipped for patio life. Yoder Smokers’ classically clean standard cart design is stylish, sturdy, and easy to move short distances across smooth surfaces. 

Why the Yoder Smokers YS640s? It’s the food.

“The amount of flavor you get is amazing. Best grill I’ve used!” - Jordan, Verified Customer,

Ask any Yoder Smokers owner what the best thing about their grill is, and they’ll tell you it’s the food. There are scientific explanations behind why food cooked on Yoder Smokers 640s pellet grills turns out more delicious, more often. Indulge us while we nerd out for just a moment:

• Temperature Stability - Industry-leading tech and construction prevent severe temperature fluctuations in the YS640s, providing a consistent cooking environment.
• Superior Airflow - The key to both a quality fire and evenly cooked food, the exceptional airflow from one end of the YS640s to the other infuses the food with rich flavor. 
• Precision Monitoring - Included dual food probes deliver precise temperature readings to the grill’s display panel and your mobile device, so you know exactly when your food is done without needing to open the grill lid to check.

Cook Any Style, Across the Temperature Spectrum (Smoke-Sear, 150º-600º F)

“I have done 6-hour ribs and 12-hour pork shoulders. Plus, the searing with the grill grates has exceeded all expectations.” - Domenic, Verified Customer,

Truly a do-it-all grill, the YS640s excels at various cooking methods. It can smoke, sear, and roast from its standard setup, with oven-style baking possible when utilizing the included 2-piece second shelf. And with the quick and easy removal of a small access door, you can cook directly over the flame for a grilling experience that combines the convenience of gas grilling with the flavor-rich results of cooking over wood or charcoal. 

Additionally, some optional accessories allow you to expand your cooking even further:

• GrillGrate Set for Yoder Smokers YS640s - Anodized aluminum GrillGrates, which quickly reach temperatures above 650º F, enhance your grill’s searing capabilities and reduce flare-ups almost completely, producing steakhouse-quality grill marks, textured crusts, and intense caramelization.
• Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired Oven - An insert that rivals the best stand-alone wood-fired ovens on the market, the Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired Oven efficiently cooks everything from blistered, pillowy Neapolitan pizzas to crispy wings to roasted vegetables.

• Yoder Smokers Pellet Grill Rotisserie Kit - Chickens, turkeys, and prime ribs all develop a textured outside and tender inside with the self-basting magic of rotisserie cooking. Cook low and slow at 275–350°F, or move over direct fire for higher heat and more crust. 

Made In America. Built for Life.

“The first thing you notice is the weight; this thing is a tank. I fully expect to be passing this down in my will.” - Will, Verified Customer,

The Yoder Smokers YS640s pellet grill features a heavy-duty design built to last. It has a 10-gauge steel cooking chamber, providing durability and consistent airflow. The hopper and cart are constructed from 14-gauge steel, supplying a solid base that will help the grill last a lifetime. With no shortcuts on material quality and sturdiness, it’s no wonder this unit weighs in at 335lbs. 

• Proudly built in Kansas, USA
• Engineered for consistent, reliable performance every time
• Rugged, all-season construction ensures dependable performance year-round

WiFi-Control from Anywhere

The Yoder Smokers YS640s features Yoder Smokers’ next-generation Adaptive Control System. It connects to both Bluetooth devices and your home Wi-Fi network via the FireBoard app on mobile devices. Once connected, you can remotely control your grill's temperature, monitor food with the two included temperature probes, change cooking programs to hold your grill at a set temperature once your food is done, and more—all from your phone.

• User-friendly mobile app makes setup quick and effortless
• Built-in temperature probes let you track food doneness and cook with confidence
• Monitor and adjust grill temperature on your phone

Ease of Use

While the YS640s is technologically advanced, it’s also incredibly easy to use. To start it, simply load the pellet hopper, power on the grill, fire it up with the simple push of a button, and set it to your desired cooking temperature. The grill will automatically run its ignition program and should reach the desired cooking temperature within 10-20 minutes. 

We mean it when we say “hands-free” grilling with no babysitting involved. There’s no need to open the lid for temperature checks, which speeds up cooking and frees you up for other activities. You can trust that the YS640s is completing the task at hand, but for added peace of mind, simply check in via the Fireboard app to ensure your cook is proceeding as planned. 

• Easy cleanup - simply brush the grates while they are still warm to remove grease and debris.
• Once the grill has cooled, dump any ash from the burn pot and wipe down the grill’s exterior. 
• When necessary, deep cleaning your Yoder Smokers Pellet Grill will keep it running and looking fantastic. 

Fast Ignition, Efficient Burn, and Reliable Performance

The high-capacity hopper holds a 20-pound bag of pellets and can run for approximately 10+ hours at 225°F. The high-airflow burn grate improves efficiency and prevents clogging by carrying ash away from the burn pot. The ceramic ignition system lasts five times longer than conventional contact igniters, heats up twice as fast, and generates 100% more heat using an induction ignition system that helps prevent failed starts.

• Built around a powerful microprocessor, the ACS board accounts for multiple input variables to keep your grill’s temperature consistent. It is intelligent enough to respond to drastic temperature shifts caused by opening the grill door, adding cold meat to the grill, weather fluctuations, or changes in pellet burn rates when switching pellet types mid-cook.
• Pellets last longer thanks to a more stable cooking environment inside the grill.

Temperature Control and Airflow that Make a Difference

Both the physical control panel and the mobile app allow you to adjust the temperature of the YS640s in 5°F increments. The controller is constantly monitoring the grill’s temperature and adjusts the pellet feed to maintain the target temperature with ±5 °F accuracy. And the grill’s consistent left-to-right airflow helps prevent temperature swings and soot buildup, improving performance and delivering delicious results.

• Ball-bearing fans enhance grill performance in cold weather. 
• An optional thermal jacket accessory helps retain heat and improve fuel efficiency in below-freezing temperatures. 

1,070 Square Inches of True Cooking Freedom

With 1,070 square inches of total cooking space (640 square inches on the primary grate + 430 square inches on the upper shelf), the YS640s is the perfect size for a large family meal or a gathering with numerous friends. The dual-level cooking area opens the door to multi-zone cooking, allowing you to sear meat over the firebox while baking a side dish on the modular 2-piece upper shelf. Offering flexibility to cook nearly anything an oven can handle — with added flavor — the YS640s can accommodate:

• 8-10 Racks of ribs at one time.
• 6-8 Pork shoulders at one time.
• 3-4 Packer briskets at one time.
• 2 Large Turkeys at one time.

Shipping and Assembly

Flat-rate shipping via freight is available for the YS640s. Shipping times are determined at the time of order placement. Alternatively, you are welcome to pick up the grill at our flagship store location in Wichita, KS, which, depending on where you live, can save you at least $200. Shipped orders are sent in a box, with the cart unassembled, to reduce the risk of freight damage. However, the chamber comes pre-assembled. Two people can typically construct the cart in just 30 minutes using a few standard tools.

Quick-Start Tips & Best Practices

The YS640s startup process is a breeze. Simply load up the pellet hopper, power up the grill, and hit the “START” button. The auger will immediately begin to move pellets into the burn pot. And finally, the ceramic igniter will power on to initiate the induction heat combustion process.

Visible flames will appear within four minutes, while the fans and auger work together to fuel the fire and help bring the grill up to its target temperature. For best results:

• Allow the grill to reach the desired temperature before putting food on to cook. Take weather conditions into consideration, as this might take longer when temperatures are low.
• Clean the burn pot of any ash or debris after each use so it’s ready for the next cook
