The Yoder Smokers YS640s is a pellet grill mounted on a competition cart. It uses Yoder's Adaptive Control System (ACS) board for temperature regulation and built-in food monitoring. The grill connects to Bluetooth devices and a home Wi-Fi network through the YS Drive app (iOS and Android), with cloud connectivity powered by FireBoard.
Through the app, you can control the grill's temperature and monitor meat with the two included food probes. You can also change cooking programs to hold a set temperature once the meat reaches a chosen internal temperature. The temperature range is 150º to 600º in 5º increments.
The hopper and cart are 14-gauge steel, and the cooking chamber is 10-gauge steel. The hopper is insulated. The ceramic igniter lights the pellets with induction heat, lasts five times longer than conventional contact igniters, heats up twice as fast and creates 100% more heat. A variable displacement damper creates different heat zones on the main cooking grate. An optional upgrade adds a heavy-duty storage drawer, stainless steel shelves and 10-inch wheels, plus a second-level slide-out shelf.
