Why Yoder smokers? It's the food.

Ask any Yoder Smoker YS640 owner what the best thing about their grill is, and they'll tell you: It's the food. There's science behind why food cooked on Yoder Smokers pellet grills is more delicious, more often.

A bit of the technology behind the unbeatable taste:

• Temperature stability – Industry-leading technology and design prevents large temperature fluctuations in the YS640 and ensures a consistent cooking environment.
• Excellent airflow – The exceptional airflow from one end of the YS640 to the other is the key to a high quality fire and evenly cooked food, adding rich flavor to the food. 
• Precise monitoring – Two food probes provide precise temperature readings to the grill display panel and your mobile device, so you know exactly when your food is ready without having to open the grill lid to check.

Overview of the Yoder Smokers YS640s Integrated Pellet Grill Island

This kit includes a stock 52″ wide galvanized tubular steel frame built for single or end installations, a Yoder Smokers YS640s built-in grill, and matching under-grill storage equipped with a double stainless steel access door. The 18.75″ high frame is designed to place the grill at a comfortable cooking height and integrate seamlessly into a standard 36″ high outdoor kitchen counter. The frame is the reason for the magic of this kit. Because it's plumb, square and uncannily flat, everything else fits together with professional precision - the cabinet doors, the grille and the surfaces.

Ready-to-install outdoor kitchen solution

Save planning and installation time with this turnkey package that fits seamlessly into your outdoor kitchen space. The beauty of this kit is its simplicity. It consists of just three components - the grille, the frame and the access doors - that are precision fit, allowing anyone to achieve a professional, level fit and finish in much less time than building an island from scratch. Once assembled, it's ready to be the centerpiece of your outdoor cooking area, whether it's the first or only part of your outdoor kitchen.

• The turnkey construction is ideal as a standalone piece or as part of a larger outdoor kitchen.
• Saves you the hassle of purchasing components.
• Speeds installation and ensures a professional fit and finish.

Easy access to your cooking essentials

Quivira’s 36″ x 15″ dual access doors open wide so you can access utilities or frequently used items. Because the galvanized steel frame is straight and rectangular, the cabinet doors fit perfectly in their opening. These doors are located under the grill head and lead to a large area for accessory storage and the grill's grease trap. 

What do we mean by enough space? The storage cabinet is large enough to hold several popular Yoder Smokers accessories, such as the popular wood-burning oven insert and rotisserie set. And because the frame is so strong that no vertical support is required between the magnetic locking doors, everything is easily accessible. 

Make it yours: customization and design flexibility

The turnkey design simplifies planning and installation while maintaining the freedom to choose finishes that complement your outdoor living space. Finish the outside of the island with stone, brick, porcelain tile or stucco and cover it with granite, quartzite or other natural stone. Get creative – how you customize the aesthetic is entirely up to you.

To start it, simply load the pellet hopper, turn on the grill, start it with a simple push of a button and set it to the desired grill temperature. The grill will automatically start its ignition program and should reach the desired cooking temperature within 10-20 minutes.

We mean it when we say „hands-free“ grilling without babysitting. There is no need to open the lid to check the temperature, which speeds up cooking and gives you more time for other activities. You can trust the YS640s to complete the task at hand, but for even more peace of mind, you can easily check in via the Fireboard app to ensure your cook is proceeding as planned.

Fast ignition, efficient combustion, and reliable performance

Constructive details ensure that you can rely on the YS640s during long grilling sessions and do not have to constantly watch your grill. Its high-capacity hopper holds a 20-pound bag of pellets and can operate for about 10 hours at 225 °F. The high-airflow burn grate improves efficiency and prevents clogs by transporting ash away from the firepot. The ceramic ignition system lasts five times longer than conventional contact igniters, heats up twice as fast, and, using an induction lighting system, generates 100 % more heat, preventing misfires.

• The ACS board is based on a powerful microprocessor and monitors multiple input variables to maintain precise and consistent grill temperatures. It responds intelligently to sudden temperature changes caused by opening the grill lid, adding cold meat, weather fluctuations, or shifts in pellet burn rates when changing the type of pellets during cooking.
• 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.

1,070 square inches of real cooking freedom

With a total cooking area of 1,070 square inches (640 square inches on the main rack + 430 square inches on the top shelf), the YS640s is the perfect size for large family dinners or gatherings with numerous friends. The two-tier cooking area opens the door for multi-zone cooking, allowing you to sear meat over the firebox while baking a side dish on the modular, two-part top shelf. The YS640 offers the flexibility to cook almost anything an oven can handle - with added flavor - and accommodates:

• 8-10 ribs at once.
• 6-8 pork shoulders at once.

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.
• Let the grill reach the desired temperature before placing the food on it. 
• Take the weather conditions into account as the heating process takes longer at low temperatures.
