Fast ignition, efficient combustion, and reliable performance

The high-capacity hopper holds a 20-pound bag of pellets and can operate at 225°F for approximately 10+ hours. The high airflow combustion grate improves efficiency and prevents clogging by moving ash away from the burn pot. The ceramic ignition system lasts five times longer than traditional contact igniters, heats up twice as fast and produces more heat using a 100 % induction lighting system, preventing misfires.

• The ACS board is based on a powerful microprocessor and takes into account multiple input variables to keep the temperature of your grill constant. It is smart enough to respond to drastic temperature changes caused by opening the grill door, placing cold meat on the grill, weather fluctuations, or changes in pellet burn rate when changing pellet types during the cooking process.
• Pellets last longer in the grill thanks to a more stable cooking environment.

Temperature control and airflow that make a difference

You can adjust the temperature of the YS640 in 5 °F increments both via the physical control panel and the mobile app. The controller constantly monitors the temperature of the grill and adjusts the pellet feed to maintain the target temperature with an accuracy of ±5 °F. And the even airflow of the grill from left to right prevents temperature fluctuations and soot buildup, improves performance, and delivers delicious results.

• Ball-bearing fans improve the grill performance in cold weather. 
• An optional Thermal jacket-Accessories help to retain heat and improve fuel efficiency at temperatures below freezing.

Quickstart Tips and Best Practices

Starting the YS640 is a breeze. Simply fill the pellet container, turn on the grill and press the „START“ button. The auger immediately begins to transport pellets into the burn pot. And finally, the ceramic igniter switches on to initiate the combustion process using induction heat.

Visible flames appear within four minutes, while the fans and the auger work together to stoke the fire and help bring the grill to its target temperature. For best results:

• After each use, clean the brazier of ash and residue so that it is ready for the next cooking session
• Allow the grill to reach the desired temperature before placing the food on it. Take weather conditions into account as this may take longer in low temperatures.
