Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill on Competition Cart with Storage Drawer

Why Choose the Competition Cart with a Storage Drawer?

For Pitmasters who need both workspace and gear storage, the YS640s Competition Cart with Storage Drawer provides ample shelving plus a full-width pull-out drawer that keeps pellets, utensils, and accessories within arm’s reach.

Key Features of the Competition Cart with Drawer

The Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill on Competition Cart with Storage Drawer is crafted specifically for those who demand excellence in grilling and organization. Building on the proven legacy of the YS640s, this updated model combines Yoder Smokers’ unmatched performance, versatility, and durability with a high-capacity storage drawer that keeps your tools and supplies within arm’s reach.

With a spacious drawer built right into the competition cart, you can keep your grilling area neat and fully stocked. Yoder Smokers understands that when everything you need is organized and accessible, you can focus on what matters most—perfecting your craft and delivering outstanding results every time.

Full-Width Pull-Out Drawer

With a high-capacity storage drawer built into the competition cart, this configuration approaches kitchen-on-the-go status. Every item you can store in the cart means one fewer trip to retrieve a needed tool, providing a huge efficiency boost. It also reduces the amount of gear that needs to be stored and hauled in tubs, which makes setup and teardown at competitions all that much easier. 

Integrated Prep Shelves & Hooks

Perperation space abounds with 640 square inches of external stainless steel shelf space and four hooks that are the perfect home for large utensils. There’s plenty of room to hold pans of food, wrap large cuts of meat in foil or butcher paper, season food, and keep your favorite beverage handy. And the durable shelves are a breeze to wipe down after every cook, so that you can start fresh for the next meal. 

Locking Tournament Casters

While this configuration will look undoubtedly sharp in your backyard, it was initially designed for easy transport while holding up to the rigors of competition cooking. The locking 8” tournament casters with flat-free tires make it easy to roll the grill off a trailer, maneuver it into the perfect spot, and then lock it into place so that you can grill confidently all weekend long. 

Precision PID Controller (±5 °F)

As with every Yoder Smokers YS640s pellet grill configuration, this unit includes a Precision PID controller that allows you to easily lock in specific cooking temperatures. Adjustable from 150º to 600º in 5º increments, the wifi and Bluetooth-connected Adaptive Control System can be controlled by a knob on the physical interface or via the Fireboard app on any iOS or Android device. 

• Includes integrated food probes for a complete picture of your cook

Heavy-Duty Steel Frame

Engineered to strike a balance between maneuverability and durability, the competition cart with storage drawer is constructed from fully powder-coated 10-gauge steel. It’s sturdy enough to securely hold your Yoder Smokers YS640s pellet grill without sacrificing mobility. The drawer also features an integrated heat shield that redirects heat from the grill, protecting the contents of the drawer. 

Built-in Storage for Serious Competitors

Drawer Capacity and Use Cases

Every competitor has their preferred arsenal of tools, spices, and assorted secret weapons. At over 5,500 cubic inches, the drawer is large enough to accommodate any number of accessory configurations, with enough space to store rubs, gloves, grill grates, an upper shelf, or even a Yoder Smokers wood-fired oven. 

• Storage drawer interior measures 21.25" W x 29.5" L x 4.5" H
• Drawer Weight Capacity of 150 lbs
• Drawer clearance height is 7.75", large enough to fit a Yoder Smokers wood-fired oven.

Easy-Slide Rails and Weather-Resistant Seals

Everything you store in the drawer stays safe and dry thanks to water-resistant seals. And your treasures remain painless to get to, as the easy-slide rails make opening and closing a loaded drawer a very smooth process. 

How to Organize Your Grill Tools & Pellets

• Position a bag of pellets at the outermost end of the drawer, as loading the hopper will be one of the first tasks during setup. This will prevent you from having to dig through a full drawer to get to the pellets. 
• Place lighter items on top of heavier ones to simplify rearranging. 
• If traveling with a loaded drawer, fill any empty space with softer items like leather gloves or work towels to prevent items from shifting during transport. 

Adventure-Ready Performance

Thanks to their intelligent design, Yoder Smokers pellet grills have become synonymous with set-and-forget grilling. Precise temperature control and the ability to maintain a specific temperature mean you don’t have to sacrifice cooking quality for off-road portability. Rugged mobility, effortless cleanup, and plentiful storage space make the competition cart with storage drawer the perfect road-ready option for cooking excursions.

Quick-Start Contest Prep Tips

• Load drawer essentials in the same configuration for every competition so that you always know where to find what you’re looking for.
• Regularly calibrate your temperature probes to ensure perfect accuracy using the comprehensive yet straightforward calibration guide from Fireboard.
• Preheat your competition pellet grill for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed before loading it with meat. Doing so will ensure more consistent cooking chamber temps from beginning to end.
• Clean any ash or debris from the fire pot and cooking chamber after each competition. The two-piece diffuser plate with access door eases the burden of routine cleanings. 

Compare YS640s Configurations

However, knowing that some folks have different stylistic and accessory preferences, each configuration is built to meet the slightly different needs of anyone considering a Yoder Smokers pellet grill.
