Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill: Professional Performance with Direct Flame Grilling
Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill is designed for serious backyard cooks and pitmasters who want the precision of a pellet grill with the power of real open-flame grilling.

Built in the USA with 10-gauge steel construction, the YS640S is engineered for durability, consistency, and versatility. The grill features the Yoder Smokers ACS Control System with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, dual integrated food probes, and a ceramic ignition system, giving pitmasters precise control whether cooking low and slow or grilling at high heat.

Massive Cooking Capacity for Serious BBQ
The Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill offers approximately 1,070 square inches of total cooking space along with nearly 12 inches of vertical headroom. This generous capacity allows pitmasters to cook multiple briskets, pork shoulders, racks of ribs, whole chickens, or even large turkeys without running out of space.
Whether you are hosting a backyard gathering, preparing food for a large family cookout, or cooking multiple meats at once, the YS640S provides the space and stability needed to handle serious BBQ sessions.
Direct Flame Grilling and Low-and-Slow Smoking
One of the standout features of the Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill is its ability to transition between traditional pellet smoking and high-heat direct flame grilling. When configured for direct grilling, the grill can reach temperatures up to 700F, making it ideal for searing steaks, burgers, and chops.
At the same time, the YS640S excels at low-temperature smoking. Set the grill to 250F for long cooks like brisket, pork shoulder, or ribs, and let the ACS system maintain consistent temperatures for hours.
Advanced ACS Control System
The Yoder Smokers ACS Control System allows you to manage your grill from the front panel or remotely using the Yoder mobile app. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, pitmasters can monitor grill temperatures, track internal meat temperatures, and adjust cooking settings directly from their smartphone.
The two integrated food probes make it easy to monitor internal temperatures without opening the lid, helping maintain consistent heat and better cooking results.
Built for Durability and Long-Term Performance
The Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill is constructed from heavy-duty 10-gauge steel, giving it the strength and thermal stability required for serious BBQ cooking. This rugged construction helps maintain stable temperatures in varying weather conditions and ensures long-term durability.
Yoder Smokers backs the grill with an impressive warranty that includes ten years on the cooking chamber, three years on the ACS controller, and three years on the ceramic ignition system.
