The Yoder Smokers YS640s is a pellet grill with the hopper on the right side instead of the left. It is otherwise the same as the standard YS640s. It is made in America's heartland and has a 10-gauge steel cooking chamber, with 14-gauge steel on the hopper and cart. Heavy-duty casters let you move it. New grills are pre-drilled for a rotisserie.
The Adaptive Control System connects to Bluetooth devices and a home Wi-Fi network through the YS Drive App, which works on iOS and Android. From the app you can control the grill's temperature, monitor meat with the two included food probes, and change cooking programs. A program can hold the grill at a set temperature once the meat reaches a chosen internal temperature. The control board reacts to changes in heat, such as opening the door, adding cold meat or switching wood type mid-cook.
The grill has 640 square inches of main grate space, and the standard 2nd shelf brings the total to 1,070 square inches. A redesigned high airflow burn grate and a variable displacement damper create different heat zones on the main grate. A ceramic igniter lights the pellets with induction heat for fast ignition. The hopper is insulated.
