Yoder Smokers 20″ Loaded Wichita Offset Smoker with Rolls

A generational offset platform

The Loaded Wichita is a fully realized offset smoking platform - designed to provide the level of control, consistency and durability that characterizes serious wood fire cooking. Built for those who prefer a true stick burner, this grill gives you direct control over fire, airflow and smoke - the essential elements of traditional grilling.

It was built in Kansas and shaped through decades of hands-on work at the pit. It reflects a standard acquired over time and refined through use in practice. As an offset smoker, the Loaded Wichita continues a legacy of craftsmanship while meeting the expectations of today's pitmaster.

Designed for consistent wood burning performance

At its core, the Loaded Wichita is a traditional offset firebox smoker designed to burn real wood or charcoal and produce clean, thin blue smoke. A taller exhaust stack improves airflow and draft efficiency, helping to maintain even combustion and consistent temperatures throughout the cooking chamber.

A removable heat management plate offers another level of control - allowing you to create a more even cooking environment or remove it entirely for more heat and better airflow. This flexibility makes it possible to perform hot and quick cooking sessions or to set up different temperature zones throughout the pit for different cuts of meat.

Constructed of 1/4-inch steel, this offset backyard smoker is designed for thermal stability—retaining heat even during long cooks and responding predictably to fire management adjustments. Inside, 304 stainless steel cooking grates and a flexible two-piece second shelf provide durability and capacity for everything from individual briskets to full loads.

Built for real-world use and movement

The Loaded Wichita is designed to function beyond a fixed position. A redesigned stand combined with front casters creates a stable, maneuverable platform so you can position the grill where it best suits your space, your cook and your workflow.

A removable front shelf expands the usable work area without restricting access or movement, while the overall structure maintains balance and control when repositioned. Whether you're adjusting for the wind, making room, or preparing for a longer cooking time, this wood smoker is designed with portability in mind.

From long overnight grilling to weekend gatherings, the Loaded Wichita offers the control, durability and flexibility you expect from a modern smoker - and a platform built to be passed down to the next generation.
