Yoder Smokers YS480s Pellet BBQ Grill

Yoder Smokers Pellet Grills feature Yoder Smokers ACS Control System with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as two integrated food probes for monitoring. A ceramic ignition system, heavy gauge steel construction, and custom orange casters are standard on S-Series pellet grills.

With 800 square inches of cook space, combined with nearly 12 inches of headroom, there’s plenty of room for anything from briskets and pork butts, to beer can chickens and turkeys. But the real versatility is the ability to truly flame grill on the same cooker. Yoder Smokers pellet grills can be set up for direct over the flame grilling, a feature that can’t be matched anywhere else.

So, when you need 700°F to properly sear a steak, you’ve got it — likewise when you need 250°F for a 12-hour smoke, you’ve got that too. And manage it all from the palm of your hand with our mobile app — everything from recipes to smart programs, you’re in control. Last but not least you have American Made peace of mind with a rock solid warranty: 10 years on the cooking chamber, 3 years on the ACS controller, and 3 years on the ceramic igniter.

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.
This isn’t just a grill. It’s your outdoor kitchen’s crown jewel. 👑🔥

Made in America. Built for Life.

At 277 pounds of uncompromising steel, the Yoder Smokers YS480s isn’t just built—it’s forged. This is American craftsmanship you can feel the moment you open the lid. Every weld, panel, and component is designed for decades of serious cooking, not seasons.

The heart of the grill is a 10-gauge steel cooking chamber, delivering exceptional durability, superior heat retention, and steady, predictable airflow. Supporting it all is a 14-gauge steel hopper and cart, forming a rock-solid foundation that stands up to heavy use, high heat, and harsh weather without flinching.

Proudly hand-built in Kansas, USA, the YS480s reflects Yoder’s no-compromise approach to quality—engineered to perform flawlessly cook after cook, year after year.

  • 🇺🇸 Proudly built in Kansas, USA

  • ⚙️ Engineered for consistent, rock-solid performance

  • ❄️☀️ Rugged, all-season construction for year-round reliability

This isn’t a disposable grill.
It’s an heirloom piece—built once, enjoyed for life.

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.

Start the cook. Walk away. Stay in control.
With the YS480s, your grill works as smart as you do.

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

High performance shouldn’t feel complicated.
With the YS480s, great cooking comes naturally.

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.
