Yoder Smokers Pellet Cooker Replacement Wheel — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Yoder Smokers replacement wheel?
This is an 8-inch cart wheel replacement designed for Yoder Smokers’ YS480 & YS640 pellet grills. It serves as a direct substitute for the factory wheel.
Which models does it fit?
It fits the standard 8" cart wheel setup on the YS480 and YS640 models.
How do I install it?
Yoder provides a wheel kit upgrade procedure which covers removing the old wheel, inserting the new axle (part 90659), and securing the replacement wheel using a cotter pin.
Are there any upgrades or alternatives?
The community and aftermarket sellers offer “flat-free” or pneumatic alternatives (8″ or 10″) for more rugged terrain or longevity.
Any tips or warnings?
• Follow Yoder’s wheel install procedure carefully to maintain grill alignment.
• Maintain the cotter pin or securing mechanism—those failures can make the wheel come loose.
• If you change to a different size or style wheel (like 10″), be sure the grill remains level and the grease drain slopes correctly.
