Yoder Smokers Chimney Smoke Stack — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Yoder Smokers Chimney Smoke Stack?
The Yoder Smokers Chimney Smoke Stack is a replacement flue stack designed for use on Yoder Smokers’ offset and vertical smokers. It vents smoke and regulates draft in the upper chamber.
What are its materials, dimensions, and finish?
It is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a durable finish to resist heat and the elements. The standard diameter and height match Yoder’s original chimney design, ensuring a direct fit as a replacement or upgrade.
How do I install the chimney stack?
Remove the existing chimney stack, including any cap and collar. Slide or bolt the new stack into the flue collar on the smoker body, securing it with screws or fasteners provided. Ensure the stack is vertical and weatherproofed at joints. Finally, reinstall the chimney cap and test smoke flow at low heat.
Will it improve smoking or draft control?
Yes — a properly sized and positioned chimney stack helps optimize draft and smoke evacuation, which can lead to more consistent temperatures, better flavor, and improved airflow in cold or windy conditions.
