Yoder Smokers Wichita Replacement Cooking Grate — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Yoder 20" Wichita replacement cooking grate?
This is a direct replacement cooking grate for the Yoder Smokers 20" Wichita offset smoker. It fits within the main cooking chamber to support your food while allowing optimal heat and smoke circulation.
What are the materials and construction quality?
The grate is built with heavy-duty steel (expanded or welded bars) designed to withstand high heat and deliver reliable performance under heavy use—typical for Yoder’s robust smoker components.
How do I install or replace this grate?
To install, remove the old grate and slide this replacement into the same slots or ledges in the smoker’s firebox or cooking chamber. No special tools are required, though cleaning out ash and ensuring the ledges are clear before installation helps ensure a perfect fit.
Will it work with other Yoder smoker models or sizes?
This grate is specifically sized for the 20" Wichita offset model. It may not fit properly in other Yoder sizes (e.g. 18", 24") or models due to dimensional differences. Always verify the internal cooking chamber dimensions before ordering.
What is the warranty or guarantee, and what should I consider for maintenance?
The product page doesn’t specify a separate warranty beyond the seller’s standard parts policy. Keep your receipt and check ATBBQ’s return or parts warranty terms. For maintenance, routinely scrape and season the grate to reduce corrosion and extend lifespan.
