Yoder Smokers YS480s Outlander Pellet Grill

The YS480S Outlander Series Pellet Grill brings together an award-winning cooker with our rugged Outlander cart, and the handcrafted quality that has become synonymous with Yoder Smokers.

The maneuverability of the Outlander Series is intended to meet the demands of outdoor cooking enthusiasts, competitive cooks, or those looking to make a statement in the backyard. Coupled with the versatility of the legendary YS480S, the robust mobility of the Outlander creates what has become one of the most capable cooking packages in outdoor cooking.

The Outlander’s rugged, all-purpose cart is equipped with 10″ wheels wrapped in pneumatic tires that are 6.5″ wide, ideal for handling nearly any terrain. Moving and positioning the YS480S Outlander is effortless with its integrated pull handle and steering axle, providing a tight turning radius, and making the cooker markedly more maneuverable, especially when it comes to those hard-to-get places. The integrated steering axle allows for 22% degrees of wheel angle making tight quarters a breeze to handle. The Outlander cart also features a large storage area to easily store all the essential cooking accessories. Available in both the YS480S and YS640S, this Outlander package is next level.

One Grill. Every Craving. Zero Limits. (150°–600°F+)

Meet the Yoder Smokers YS480s—the grill that refuses to be boxed into one cooking style. Smoke it low and slow. Sear it screaming hot. Roast, bake, grill, and even cook over open flame. This is luxury versatility built for people who love to cook.

Right out of the box, the YS480s handles smoking, grilling, and roasting like a pro. Add the included two-piece second shelf, and it becomes an oven-style cooker perfect for pizzas, breads, casseroles, or desserts. Want that primal, flame-kissed finish? Remove a small access door and cook directly over the fire—combining the ease of gas grilling with the bold, wood-fired flavor only live fire can deliver.

And when you’re ready to level up, these optional accessories turn the YS480s into an outdoor cooking powerhouse:

🔥 Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired Oven
This isn’t an add-on—it’s a statement. Rivaling top standalone pizza ovens, this insert delivers blistered Neapolitan pizzas, crispy wings, and beautifully roasted vegetables with precision heat and authentic wood-fired character. A true showstopper.

🔥 GrillGrate Set for Yoder Smokers YS480s
Drop these anodized aluminum GrillGrates in place and watch the temperature soar past 650°F. Expect dramatic steakhouse grill marks, aggressive searing, and deep caramelization that turns great steaks into unforgettable ones.

🔥 Yoder Smokers Pellet Grill Rotisserie Kit
There’s something irresistible about rotisserie cooking. Chickens, turkeys, and prime rib self-baste as they turn, creating a juicy interior and golden, crackling exterior. Cook low and slow at 275°–350°F, or move over direct flame for next-level crust and color.

From casual weeknight cooks to full-blown backyard feasts, the YS480s delivers luxury performance, bold flavor, and pure cooking joy—every single time.

Rugged. Adventure-Ready. Built for Life.

The Yoder Smokers YS480s Outlander isn’t just a grill—it’s a rolling statement piece. Built on a heavy-duty 10-gauge steel frame, this 470-lb powerhouse is engineered to handle real terrain with confidence.

With extended ground clearance, massive 10″ wheels wrapped in 6.5″ wide pneumatic tires, and a 22.5° turning axle with integrated pull handle, the Outlander glides across gravel, grass, rocks, and uneven ground without jarring or sinking. Whether it’s tailgates, campouts, or private events, this cart is always ready to move.

And when it’s time to travel, it’s built for efficiency:

  • 🔒 Integrated tie-down points

  • 📦 Undermounted storage area

  • Removable stainless steel shelves for added workspace

At its core, the YS480s still delivers Yoder’s legendary performance with a 10-gauge steel cooking chamber for exceptional heat retention and balanced airflow.

  • 🇺🇸 Proudly built in Kansas, USA

  • ⚙️ Engineered for consistent, dependable performance

  • ❄️ All-season construction for year-round reliability

Wi-Fi Control. Total Freedom.

The Yoder Smokers YS480s puts complete control in the palm of your hand with its next-generation Adaptive Control System. Connected through the powerful FireBoard app, the grill pairs seamlessly with both Bluetooth and your home Wi-Fi—so whether you’re in the backyard or across town, you’re always in command.

Monitor your cook in real time using the two included temperature probes, adjust grill temperatures on the fly, or set intelligent cooking programs that automatically hold your grill at the perfect temp once your food is done. It’s precision cooking without hovering—because luxury means freedom.

  • 📱 Intuitive mobile app for fast, stress-free setup

  • 🌡️ Built-in temperature probes for confident, hands-off cooking

  • 🔥 Monitor and fine-tune grill temperatures from anywhere

Effortless from Start to Finish

The Yoder Smokers YS480s may be packed with advanced technology, but using it couldn’t be simpler. Just fill the pellet hopper, power it on, set your desired temperature, and press start. The grill automatically runs its ignition sequence and is ready to cook in just 10–20 minutes—no guesswork, no hassle.

Cleanup is just as easy. While the grates are still warm, a quick brush removes grease and food residue. Once the grill has cooled, simply empty the burn pot ash and wipe down the exterior to keep everything looking sharp.

For those occasional deep cleans, routine maintenance keeps your YS480s performing at its best and looking as impressive as the day you brought it home.

  • 🔘 Push-button start with automatic ignition

  • ⏱️ Reaches cooking temperature in 10–20 minutes

  • 🧽 Simple, low-effort cleanup and maintenance

Fast Ignition. Smarter Burn. Rock-Solid Performance.

The Yoder Smokers YS480s is engineered to fire up fast, burn efficiently, and stay locked in at your target temperature—no babysitting required. Its high-capacity hopper holds a full 20-lb bag of pellets, delivering 10+ hours of low-and-slow cooking at 225°F for long, uninterrupted cooks.

At the heart of its efficiency is a high-airflow burn grate that keeps pellets burning clean and consistent while carrying ash away from the burn pot to prevent clogging. Starting the fire is handled by an advanced ceramic ignition system that lasts five times longer than traditional igniters, heats up twice as fast, and delivers 100% more heat using an induction lighting system—dramatically reducing failed ignitions.

Powering it all is Yoder’s Adaptive Control System (ACS), driven by a robust microprocessor that constantly analyzes multiple variables to maintain precise temperature control. Open the lid. Add cold meat. Switch pellet brands mid-cook. Even sudden weather changes won’t throw it off. The system responds instantly, keeping your cook steady and predictable.

The result? A more stable cooking environment, longer-lasting pellets, and consistent results every single time.

  • 🔥 20-lb hopper for extended, uninterrupted cooks

  • Fast, ultra-reliable ceramic ignition

  • 🧠 Intelligent ACS control for precise temperature stability

  • 🌡️ Efficient burn that maximizes pellet life

Set it. Trust it. Enjoy the results.
The YS480s is built to perform—so you can focus on the food, not the fire.

Precision Temperature Control. Flawless Airflow.

The Yoder Smokers YS480s is built for cooks who demand control—and delivers it with exceptional precision. Using either the physical control panel or the FireBoard mobile app, you can dial in your cooking temperature in exact 5°F increments, giving you total command over every cook.

Behind the scenes, the advanced control system is constantly monitoring internal temperatures and automatically adjusting pellet feed rates to hold your target temperature within an impressive ±5°F range. Whether you’re smoking overnight or searing at high heat, the YS480s stays locked in and steady.

Equally important is Yoder’s balanced left-to-right airflow design, which promotes even heat distribution across the cooking surface. This consistent airflow minimizes temperature swings, reduces soot buildup, and ensures cleaner combustion—resulting in better performance, richer flavor, and beautifully cooked food from edge to edge.

  • 🎯 Fine-tune temperatures in precise 5°F increments

  • 🌡️ Maintains heat within ±5°F for dependable results

  • 🔄 Even airflow for consistent cooking and cleaner burns

When temperature and airflow work in harmony, the difference isn’t subtle—it’s delicious.
