Yoder Smokers YS Series Counterweight Bar Bumpers

Yoder Smokers YS Series Counterweight Bar Bumpers — Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Yoder YS Series counterweight bar bumpers?

These are two small bumper pads and mounting screws designed to be attached to the counterweight arm on Yoder Smokers YS Series pellet grills. They cushion impact and prevent the metal counterweight from scratching the grill’s exterior when opened.

Why should I add counterweight bumpers to my grill?

Without bumpers, the counterweight may contact the body and rub or mar the paint when the lid is opened and closed repeatedly. Adding these bumpers reduces that risk, preserves the finish, and helps maintain the grill’s appearance.

How do I install the bumpers?

Installation is simple: use the included screws to mount each bumper pad onto the counterweight arm, positioning them so they make contact with the grill body when the lid is opened. Be sure the pads sit flush and don’t interfere with the arm’s motion.

What materials are used, and how durable are these bumpers?

The pads are made of a durable material (likely rubber or similar) designed to absorb impact and resist wear. Because they’re made in the USA and intended for outdoor use, they’re built to persist under normal grill operating conditions.
