Yoder Smokers YS480s Pellet Grill: Built for Precision and True Flame Cooking
The Yoder Smokers YS480s Pellet Grill is designed for serious outdoor cooks who want uncompromising control, durability, and real fire performance. Proudly made in the USA and built in Kansas from heavy-gauge steel, the YS480s combines advanced digital control with true direct-flame grilling, allowing it to handle everything from overnight briskets to steakhouse-level searing.
With a wide temperature range, generous cooking capacity, and rock-solid American construction, the YS480s stands apart from typical pellet grills. It delivers consistent heat for long smokes while offering the ability to cook directly over flame when high heat and char matter most.
True Direct-Flame Capability in a Pellet Grill
What sets the YS480s apart is its ability to grill over an open flame. A removable access door in the heat diffuser allows direct exposure to the firebox, unlocking temperatures that pellet grills normally cannot reach. This makes it possible to sear steaks, burgers, and chops properly instead of relying solely on indirect heat.
This flexibility gives the YS480s the range of a smoker, grill, roaster, and oven in one American-made cooking system. It transitions smoothly from low-temperature smoking to high-heat grilling without sacrificing control or stability.
Adaptive Control System with Wi-Fi Precision
The YS480s is equipped with Yoder’s Adaptive Control System, which integrates directly with FireBoard technology. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow you to monitor grill temperatures, track food probes, and manage cooks remotely using your phone.
The controller actively compensates for temperature changes caused by lid openings, cold food loads, weather shifts, or pellet variations. This results in stable cooking conditions and predictable results across long cooks and demanding grilling sessions.
Heavy-Gauge American-Made Construction
Built in the USA using 10-gauge steel for the cooking chamber and supported by a rugged cart and hopper, the YS480s is engineered for decades of use. The thickness and weight of the steel help retain heat, improve airflow consistency, and reduce temperature swings during extended cooks.
Designed and manufactured in Kansas, the YS480s reflects Yoder Smokers’ commitment to American craftsmanship, long-term durability, and all-season performance.
