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?

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

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
