Versatile Cooking from 150°F to 600°F

The Yoder Smokers YS640s offers a broad temperature range that supports multiple outdoor cooking methods.

Popular cooking applications include:

• Low-and-slow smoking for brisket and ribs
• High-temperature grilling for steaks and burgers
• Roasting chicken and turkey
• Smoking pork shoulders and other large cuts
• Baking bread and other oven-style dishes
• Preparing vegetables and side dishes
• Direct-flame grilling with the appropriate setup

The ability to switch between indirect heat and direct-flame cooking makes the YS640s a flexible alternative to using separate smokers and grills.

Spacious 1,070 Square Inches of Cooking Area

The Yoder Smokers YS640s Wood Pellet Grill offers two cooking levels with 1,070 square inches of total advertised cooking space.

Cooking area breakdown:

• Primary Cooking Surface: 640 Sq. In.
• Upper Cooking Shelf: Approximately 430 Sq. In.
• Total Cooking Area: 1,070 Sq. In.

The primary grilling surface provides space for everyday barbecue favorites, while the removable, two-piece upper shelf creates additional room for larger meals.

This dual-level design makes it convenient to prepare multiple foods simultaneously.

Heavy-Duty 10-Gauge Steel Cooking Chamber

The YS640s is built with a heavy-duty 10-gauge steel cooking chamber designed for strength, heat retention, and durability.

The cooking body measures approximately 1/8 inch thick, providing substantial construction compared with many lightweight residential pellet grills.

The pellet hopper and standard cart use 14-gauge steel.

Construction highlights include:

• 10-gauge steel cooking chamber
• 14-gauge steel hopper and cart
• Durable powder-coated exterior
• Stainless steel cooking grates
• Two-piece upper cooking shelf
• Heavy-duty wheeled cart
• Stay-cool handles
• Counterweighted cooking chamber door

This rugged construction supports frequent outdoor cooking when properly maintained.

Adaptive Control System for Precise Temperature Management

The Yoder Smokers YS640s features an advanced Adaptive Control System (ACS) designed to manage cooking temperatures automatically.

The digital controller monitors cooking conditions and adjusts pellet delivery and combustion airflow to maintain the selected temperature.

Users can adjust the temperature in 5°F increments.

The ACS responds to operating conditions such as lid openings, changing fuel consumption, and variations in outdoor temperature.

This provides convenient temperature management for extended smoking sessions and everyday grilling.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity with FireBoard

The Yoder YS640s Wi-Fi Pellet Smoker includes integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Using the compatible FireBoard app, users can monitor and adjust their cooking sessions from a smartphone.

Connected cooking features include:

• Remote grill temperature monitoring
• Remote temperature adjustments
• Food temperature tracking
• Cooking session graphs
• Custom cooking programs
• Temperature notifications
• Compatible automatic hold settings

The connected system provides additional convenience when preparing large cuts of meat that require long cooking times.

App functions require compatible mobile hardware and appropriate connectivity.

Two Integrated Food Temperature Probes

The YS640s includes two food temperature probes designed to monitor internal cooking temperatures.

The probes connect directly to the grill’s Adaptive Control System and allow users to track food temperature through the controller and supported FireBoard app functions.

This feature is especially useful when smoking brisket, pork shoulder, turkey, or other large cuts requiring careful temperature monitoring.

Ceramic Ignition System for Convenient Starting

The Yoder YS640s features a ceramic ignition system designed for dependable pellet ignition.

After loading the hopper and selecting the desired cooking temperature, the controller automatically manages the ignition sequence.

The system works with the auger and combustion fan to establish the fire and bring the grill toward the selected operating temperature.

Actual startup and preheating times depend on weather, pellet condition, grill cleanliness, and the selected cooking mode.

Direct-Flame Grilling and High-Temperature Searing

One of the defining features of the Yoder Smokers YS640s is its ability to cook directly over the pellet fire.

The included two-piece heat diffuser features an access door that allows the cooking arrangement to be changed for suitable direct-flame applications.

With the appropriate setup, users can expose food to more intense radiant heat for searing and grilling.

Optional GrillGrate accessories further expand the grill’s high-temperature searing capabilities.

This flexibility makes the YS640s suitable for both traditional barbecue smoking and steakhouse-style grilling.

Variable Displacement Damper for Heat Management

The YS640s includes Yoder’s Variable Displacement Damper, designed to help control how heat travels through the cooking chamber.

By adjusting the damper position, users can influence temperature distribution across the cooking surface.

This feature provides useful flexibility when preparing different foods at separate heat levels.

It also helps accommodate traditional low-and-slow smoking arrangements where balanced heat distribution is important.

Two-Piece Heat Diffuser with Access Door

The included two-piece heat diffuser supports flexible cooking arrangements.

For indirect smoking and baking, the diffuser helps shield food from direct flame and distribute heat throughout the cooking chamber.

The access door allows users to expose the cooking area above the firepot without removing the entire diffuser.

This arrangement makes transitioning between cooking methods more convenient.

Large 20-Pound Pellet Hopper

The Yoder Smokers YS640s includes a 20-pound hopper that holds a full bag of compatible hardwood cooking pellets.

The generous capacity supports extended cooking sessions without frequent refilling.

Pellet usage varies depending on cooking temperature, outdoor conditions, pellet type, and the duration of the cook.

For consistent performance, use suitable food-grade hardwood pellets and follow the manufacturer’s fuel recommendations.

Stainless Steel Cooking Grates and Upper Shelf

The YS640s comes with durable cooking grates designed for frequent use.

The main cooking area is divided into removable sections for convenient access and cleaning.

A two-piece stainless steel upper shelf provides additional space for suitable indirect cooking.

The upper shelf can be removed when preparing larger foods that require more vertical clearance.

Standard Cart with Front and Side Shelves

This YS640s configuration includes Yoder Smokers’ classic Standard Cart.

The heavy-duty open-frame cart provides a stable base and a clean, traditional appearance for residential outdoor cooking areas.

Standard Cart features include:

• Durable steel cart construction

• Front preparation shelf
• Side shelf
• Convenient movement across suitable surfaces
• Open-frame design

The right-side shelf can also assist with repositioning the grill over suitable surfaces.

The Competition Cart, Outlander, and built-in configurations are separate product options.

Optional Wood-Fired Pizza Oven

For additional cooking versatility, Yoder offers a compatible wood-fired pizza oven accessory.

This insert creates a dedicated cooking environment for preparing pizzas and other compatible oven-baked foods.

The pizza oven is sold separately and is not included with the standard YS640s package.

Optional Rotisserie and Grilling Accessories

The YS640s supports a range of accessories that expand its cooking capabilities.

Optional accessories include:

• Yoder Smokers wood-fired pizza oven
• GrillGrate searing kit
• Pellet grill rotisserie kit
• Cast iron griddle

• Protective weather cover

These accessories are available separately unless specifically included in a retailer’s bundle.

Convenient Cleaning and Maintenance

The Yoder Smokers YS640s features accessible cooking components for routine cleaning.

The removable grates and two-piece heat diffuser provide access to the cooking chamber.

A grease drain helps manage cooking drippings during regular use.

After the grill has cooled, ash and debris should be removed from the burn pot according to the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.

Regular inspection and cleaning help maintain proper airflow, ignition, and pellet delivery.
