The Yoder Smokers YS640s is a pellet grill mounted on a competition cart. It grills directly and also works as a pellet-fired smoker. The cart has 8" pneumatic casters and tie-down rings on the bottom to secure it when moving.
The Adaptive Control System (ACS) board uses a microprocessor for temperature control and built-in food monitoring. It reacts to changes in heat, such as opening the door, adding cold meat or switching wood type mid-cook. It connects over Bluetooth and home Wi-Fi through the YS Drive App on iOS and Android, with cloud connectivity powered by FireBoard. Through the app you can control the grill's temperature, monitor meats with the two included food probes, and change cooking programs to hold a set temperature once the meat reaches a chosen internal temperature.
The cooking chamber is 10 gauge steel. The hopper and cart are 14 gauge steel. The hopper is insulated. A ceramic igniter lights the pellets with induction heat. The grill has a two-piece heat diffuser with an access door for cleaning and grilling setup, and a redesigned high-airflow burn grate. Ball-bearing fans are used for better cold weather performance. A variable displacement damper creates different heat zones on the main grate.
