Yoder Smoker YS640 Competition Pellet Grill
World-renowned Yoder Smoker YS640 Competition Pellet Grill is as at home on the competition circuit as it is in your backyard. Based on the standard YS640 model with the same electronics and cook chamber, this model adds their custom cart with solid stainless-steel prep shelves. The cart not only adds to that iconic Yoder Smokers look, but it also adds markedly more manoeuvrability, while integrated tie-downs make it easy to secure for travel. Standard features are the Yoder Smokers ACS Control System featuring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, two integrated food probes for monitoring, a ceramic ignition system, and heavy-gauge steel construction.
With 1,070 square inches of cook space, combined with nearly 12 inches of headroom, there’s plenty of room for anything from briskets and pork butts to beer can chickens and turkeys. But the real versatility is the ability to truly flame grill on the same cooker. Yoder Smokers pellet grills can be set up for direct over the flame grilling, a feature that can’t be matched anywhere else.
So, when you need 700°F to properly sear a steak, you’ve got it — likewise, when you need 250°F for a 12-hour smoke, you’ve got that too. And manage it all from the palm of your hand with Yoder’s mobile app — everything from recipes to smart programs, you’re in control. Last but not least you have American Made peace of mind with a rock-solid warranty: 10 years on the cooking chamber, 3 years on the ACS controller, and 3 years on the ceramic igniter.
The Yorder Smoker Grill is available from Hot Box Stoves.

Tech Spec
Adaptive Control System (ACS) with Wi-Fi
The Yoder Smokers S Series is built around their next-generation Adaptive Control System with Wi-Fi Connectivity – cloud connectivity powered by FireBoard.
- Connect to your devices via Bluetooth and WiFi through the YS Drive App (iOS and Android compatible)
- Control the temperature of your grill from anywhere
- Monitor your cook with the two included food probes (probes are 1,8m long)
- Create custom cook programs to hold once meat temperature hits a set point
More Than Just Wi-Fi
Beyond Wi-Fi connectivity, the new ACS board is built around a powerful microprocessor that understands multiple input variables. So what does this mean?
- The board was designed from the ground up to take advantage of this powerful micro control chip
- Custom programming allows the board to learn and understand the cooking environment
- Opening the door, putting on 50kg of meat, or even changing pellet wood won’t affect your set point for hours
- Calibrate mode aligns the displayed temperature to match the temperature at any area of the grate surface
High-Temp Ceramic Igniter
The S Series features an all-new ceramic igniter that lights the pellets from induction heat, meaning a more consistent startup.
- New ceramic igniter lasts five times longer than conventional contact igniters
- Heats up twice as fast and creates double the heat
- Lights with induction heat which solves problems with failed ignition from ash buildup
- Ceramic igniter carries a three-year warranty
