Yoder Smokers XL 17″ wood stove for YS1500

The most advanced and powerful wood burning system ever developed for a pellet grill platform. The wood-fired XL oven from Yoder Smokers is specifically designed to utilize the full power of the Yoder Smokers pellet cooking system. The XL transforms your YS1500 into a precisely controlled, high-heat outdoor oven with performance that standalone backyard pizza ovens simply can't match. This is not just an accessory. It is a fully integrated heating system designed to concentrate the flame, increase thermal mass and deliver sustained high performance in a Yoder pellet grill.

The Wood-Fired XL was specifically designed based on the performance and architecture of Yoder's offset fire pot system. By capturing and concentrating direct flame energy, the XL creates a dual-zone heating chamber that delivers aggressive top browning and powerful bottom heat of the stone - without sacrificing control.

• Does not fit YS640 pellet grills. Here you will find the YS640s XL wood stove.
• Higher continuous cooking temperatures
• Greater heat concentration
• Exceptional thermal stability
• Industry-leading sustained load recovery
• Full 16" pizza capacity
• Expanded cast iron cookware and frying capacity
• Refined airflow and hood geometry
• Increased maximum cooking temperature
• Precise control over the entire temperature range
• Stainless steel construction
• More stone means more heat retention
• More retained heat means more consistent performance
• More consistent performance means true wood-fired performance at scale
• Compatible with all YS1500 models

This level of performance is only possible because it was built from the ground up for the Yoder platform. At the heart of the XL is an enlarged, proprietary kiln-fired cooking stone that increases thermal mass and stored energy over a larger surface area. 

Whether you're flipping multiple 16-inch pizzas in a row or subjecting heavy cast iron cookware to sustained high heat, the Wood-Fired XL maintains peak performance even when smaller systems fail. Developed exclusively for the YS1500. The Wood-Fired XL expands both capacity and performance margin. Set the benchmark for wood burning performance – supported by patented design and specially developed technology.

Instructions for use

Remove the grill grates, second shelf, and entire heat diffuser (not just the access door).

Install the oven's perforated heat distribution plate all the way to the left, making sure the vertical flange is facing up.

Place the oven dome on the heat distribution plate, making sure the tabs line up with the slots.

Place the stone in the oven, rough side up, and preheat the grill for 30 minutes, until the dome and stone are sufficiently heated.
