Common Questions

Yoder Smokers FAQs

Everything buyers ask us before purchasing. If your question is not here, call us or visit the showroom.

Should I buy the YS480s or the YS640s?
Both are built in Hutchinson, Kansas from the same heavy-gauge American steel, with the same ACS controller, direct flame grilling and Yoder's 10-year cooking chamber warranty against rust-through. The difference is size. The YS480s has 800 sq in of cooking area, is 134.6 cm long and weighs 126 kg. It suits smaller backyards and families of four to six, and still fits a full packer brisket on one grate. The YS640s has 1,070 sq in, is 155.8 cm long and weighs from 152 kg. It suits cooks who regularly feed eight or more or take their smoker to events, and it comes on a Standard Cart, Competition Cart, Competition Cart with Drawer or as a Built-In. Both are on the floor at our Wetherill Park showroom, so you can compare them side by side.
Who is the YS1500s built for?
The YS1500s is Yoder's flagship pellet smoker: 1,500 sq in of cooking area, 3/16 inch steel, two 24 x 21 inch main grates plus a full-depth slide-out shelf, and Yoder's patented Heat Management System. Its adjustable damper lets you run a hot searing zone and a cooler finishing zone at the same time. It holds eight to ten full packer briskets, so it is built for competition teams, caterers and cooks who regularly feed 15 to 30 people. At 303 kg and 163.6 cm long it is a big commitment for a backyard, and if you do not need that capacity we will point you to the YS640s. We have the only YS1500s on permanent display in Australia, at our Wetherill Park showroom, and every Sydney metro YS1500s order includes an access check before free delivery and installation.
Can a Yoder pellet smoker sear a steak?
Yes. Most pellet grills only cook with indirect, radiant heat. Yoder brought direct flame grilling to pellet smokers. The YS480s and every YS640s, including the Built-In, have a trap door in the diffuser plate (the heat management plate) that opens to expose the food directly to the firepot, and the grill surface reaches around 370°C (700°F). On the YS1500s you open the damper and pull the diffuser to grill directly over the fire. That is enough heat for proper sear marks, so you can smoke a steak low and slow, then finish it over the open flame on the same cooker.
How many pellets does a Yoder use on a long cook?
Every Yoder pellet smoker we sell has a 20 lb (about 9 kg) hopper. On a 12-hour low-and-slow cook, a YS640s typically uses 8 to 12 kg of pellets and a YS480s 6 to 9 kg, depending on your cook temperature and the weather. A full hopper runs the YS1500s for about 8 hours at 107°C (225°F). For an overnight brisket, start with a full hopper, top it up before bed and check it once during the cook. Cold, windy nights and higher cook temperatures use more. Stick to 100% hardwood pellets with no fillers for steadier temperatures and less ash.
What do I need to build a YS640s into an outdoor kitchen?
The YS640s Built-In is the full YS640s cooking chamber (1,070 sq in, ⅛ inch steel, ACS controller) made to sit in your outdoor kitchen bench. Your builder will need a cutout of 83.5 cm by 53.7 cm and space for the unit itself: 132.6 cm long, 90.7 cm high and 85.1 cm deep including the chimney. It weighs about 132 kg. Yoder offers three mounting options with vented bases that carry heat away from your bench and cabinetry, and you will need a power point within reach for the controller. We deliver the Built-In free across Sydney metro; installation is not included, so your cabinetmaker or builder fits it as part of the kitchen build. Pellet smokers are delivered within NSW only. The Built-In is not on display, so call 0434 010 411 to talk through your build.
How much room do I need for a Yoder pellet smoker?
Allow for the smoker plus clearance. The YS480s is 134.6 cm long and 91.7 cm deep, about the size of a four-burner gas barbecue. A YS640s on a cart is 155.8 cm long and 91.7 cm deep. The YS1500s is 163.6 cm long, 94.3 cm deep and 171 cm tall. For every Yoder pellet smoker we recommend at least 600 mm of clearance on each side and 1 metre behind the smoker from anything combustible, on a solid, level base, with a power point within reach for the controller. Freestanding Yoders weigh 126 kg to 303 kg, which is why every freestanding model includes free Sydney metro delivery and installation: we position it with you on the day.
Do I need Wi-Fi to run a Yoder pellet smoker?
No. Every Yoder pellet smoker we sell uses the ACS (Adaptive Control System) controller, which manages the auger and airflow to hold your set temperature from the controller on the smoker itself. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, through the FireBoard app, add remote monitoring and adjustment from your phone, plus food probe alerts. That is handy on an overnight brisket, but not required, so a Yoder works just as well at a competition site or anywhere with patchy reception.
How much does a Yoder smoker cost in Australia?
It depends on the model and cart. The current price for each Yoder pellet smoker is shown on its product page. Every model is covered by our Price Beat Guarantee against any authorised Australian dealer, and freestanding models include free Sydney metro delivery and installation. The YS640s Built-In includes free Sydney metro delivery; installation is not included. Call 0434 010 411 for a quote on a full setup.
