Frequently Asked Questions

The competition versions build on Yoder's heavy-steel pits with an upgraded cart system: a reinforced frame, larger pneumatic tires for rolling over grass and gravel, expanded storage shelves, and a stance built for easy setup and mobility during long events. The cooker itself delivers the same precise, steady heat; the competition cart is about moving and working out of it all day.
It comes down to capacity and space. The YS480S competition is the more compact rig with a balanced, reinforced base, ideal if you have less room or cook smaller turn-ins. The YS640S competition offers more grate space for bigger cooks and larger crowds. Think about how much meat you run at once and where the pit will live between events.
Not necessarily. The competition cart shines when you transport the pit and work out of it on the road, so if your Yoder stays home, a standard cart saves money and still gives you the same cooking performance. That said, the bigger tires and extra storage are genuinely handy even in a large backyard, so it comes down to whether the mobility is worth it to you.
The competition cart is specifically designed to make a heavy pit manageable, with large pneumatic tires and a balanced frame that roll over uneven terrain far easier than small casters. One person can reposition it on flat ground, and the design keeps it stable while you cook. The weight that makes these pits hold temperature so well is offset by a cart built to move it.
Thick, heavy-gauge steel holds temperature through wind and cold and takes years of hard use that thin-walled grills cannot, and the reinforced competition build is made to be hauled and worked out of repeatedly. For someone cooking on the circuit or wanting a buy-once pit, that durability and consistency are the whole point. It is an investment aimed at people who cook seriously and often.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
