Yoder Smokers YS1500s Outlander Series Pellet Grill
The Yoder Smokers YS1500s Outlander Series Pellet Grill from Yoder Smokers isn’t just a grill—it’s a statement piece built for those who cook big, travel far, and demand the best from their equipment.
Built on the rugged Outlander all-terrain cart, this grill is designed to go where others can’t—tailgates, events, competitions, or anywhere your cooking takes you. But the real story isn’t just the mobility—it’s the performance. Under the hood, the YS1500s delivers the heavy-steel durability, precision control, and wood-fired flavor that has made it a favorite among serious pitmasters.
Roll it in, and it turns heads. Fire it up, and it backs it up.
Built for Feasts. Engineered to Compete.
The YS1500s from Yoder Smokers is a heavy-duty pellet grill designed to dominate large gatherings, events, and BBQ competitions. With a massive cooking area that transitions from low-and-slow smoking to direct-flame grilling in one motion, this pit is built for serious volume and serious flavor.
At its core is Yoder’s legendary heat management system—allowing you to grill, smoke, and even bake from 175° to 500°F with precision and confidence. Open the heat management plate door with a simple pull of the handle to access direct searing power without removing grates, while the slide-out top shelf gives you full access for basting, wrapping, or moving food mid-cook.
Why competitors love it:
-
🔥 Large cooking surface that converts from smoking to grilling instantly
-
⚡ Fast, reliable ignition with no burn-back
-
📱 Built-in Wi-Fi control with food & chamber temperature probes

The competition-ready chassis rides on semi-pneumatic tires for confident mobility over rough terrain, while the integrated pull handle and built-in tie-downs make loading and transport easy for events and competitions.

🇺🇸 Proudly built in America’s Heartland

Adaptive Control System (ACS) with Wi-Fi
The YS1500s from Yoder Smokers is powered by Yoder’s most advanced technology—the Adaptive Control System (ACS) with cloud connectivity powered by FireBoard.
Using Bluetooth or your home Wi-Fi through the YS Drive app, you can control grill temperatures remotely, monitor cooks with the two included food probes, and set smart programs that automatically hold temperature once your meat reaches its target internal temp.
What sets ACS apart is its intelligence. A powerful onboard microprocessor continuously adjusts for real-world variables—opening the lid, loading large amounts of cold meat, changing pellet types mid-cook, or shifting weather conditions—keeping temperatures steady without intervention.
This isn’t just Wi-Fi control.
It’s predictive, self-correcting performance—available exclusively on Yoder Smokers S Series Pellet Grills.
All-New Ceramic Igniter. Effortless Results.
The Yoder Smokers S Series features an all-new ceramic ignition system engineered for speed and reliability. It lasts five times longer, heats up twice as fast, and produces 100% more heat than conventional contact igniters.
Using advanced induction ignition, the system lights pellets cleanly and consistently—virtually eliminating failed starts. For added confidence, the ceramic igniter is backed by a three-year warranty.
Despite its professional-grade build, the S Series remains refreshingly simple to use. Load the pellets, set your temperature, and let the grill do the rest. Precision controls manage heat and smoke automatically, delivering the deep, authentic wood-fired flavor only real hardwood pellets can provide.
This is true set-it-and-forget-it cooking—with craftsmanship and results that stand apart.
Outlander Cart. Built for Any Terrain.
The Outlander platform transforms the YS1500s into a true mobile cooking system:
- 🛞 10″ alloy wheels with 8″ wide pneumatic tires for all-terrain mobility
- 🧭 Live-axle steering + integrated handle for tight maneuvering
- 🧰 Heavy-duty storage area for pellets and gear
- 🔒 Built-in tie-downs for transport
