Yoder Smokers, XL 17", Wood Fired Oven, SS, YS1500

The most advanced and capable wood-fired system ever engineered for a pellet grill platform. The Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired XL Oven is purpose-built to harness the full power of the Yoder Smokers pellet cooking system, the XL transforms your YS1500s into a high-heat, precision-controlled outdoor oven capable of performance that standalone backyard pizza ovens simply cannot match. This is not just an accessory. It is a fully integrated heat system engineered to concentrate flame, amplify thermal mass, and deliver sustained high-output performance inside a Yoder pellet grill.

The Wood-Fired XL was designed specifically around the power and architecture of Yoder’s offset firepot system. By capturing and concentrating direct flame energy, the XL creates a dual-zone heat chamber that delivers aggressive top browning and powerful bottom heat from the stone — without sacrificing control.

Featured

• Does not fit YS480s or YS640s models Find the YS640s XL Wood Fired Oven here.
• Higher sustained cooking temperatures
• Greater heat concentration
• Exceptional thermal stability
• Industry-leading recovery under continuous load
• Full 16-inch pizza capability
• Expanded cast iron cookware and roasting capacity
• Refined airflow and hood geometry
• Elevated maximum cooking temperatures
• Precision control across a full range of temperatures
• More stone means more retained heat.
• More retained heat means more consistent output.
• More consistent output means true wood-fired performance at scale.

This level of performance is only possible because it was engineered for the Yoder platform from the ground up. At the core of the XL is an enlarged proprietary kiln-fired cooking stone — increasing thermal mass and stored energy across a broader surface area. 

Whether you’re turning multiple 16-inch pizzas back-to-back or running heavy cast iron cookware under sustained high heat, the Wood-Fired XL maintains peak performance when lesser systems fall off. Designed exclusively for the YS1500. The Wood-Fired XL expands both capacity and performance headroom. Setting the benchmark for wood-fired performance — backed by patented design and purpose-built engineering.

Instructions for Use

Remove cooking grates, second shelf, and the entire heat diffuser (not just the access door).

Install the oven’s perforated heat distribution plate all the way to the left, making sure the vertical flange is pointing up.

Place oven dome on heat distribution plate ensuring the tabs align with the slots.

Place stone in oven rough side up and preheat grill for 30 minutes until the dome and stone are sufficiently heated.
