Yoder Smokers YS Series Pellet Grill Orange Caster Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Yoder YS Series Orange Caster Kit?
This kit provides replacement heavy-duty orange polyurethane casters for Yoder Smokers’ YS Series pellet grills (YS480, YS640). It includes 2 fixed casters and 2 swivel casters to maintain mobility and support.
Why might I need to install this caster kit?
Over time, factory casters can wear, stick, or lose mobility due to heat, debris, or bearing damage. This replacement kit restores smooth mobility and ensures safe movement of the grill. It also provides color consistency if upgrading wheels.
What materials and load rating do these casters use?
The casters are made from polyurethane (often “orange” colored) that balances hardness and surface protection. They are designed to handle the load of the pellet grill body and accessories under typical outdoor conditions.
How do I install the caster kit?
Lift the grill carefully to relieve load on the wheels. Remove old casters via mounting bolts. Install the new swivel casters at the rear and fixed casters at the front (or as desired), ensuring bolts are tightened securely. Verify all casters roll freely and don’t interfere with ground-level clearances.
Does the kit include nuts, washers, or hardware?
Yes — the kit comes with all necessary mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) to replace your existing caster setup and install the new wheels correctly.
