Yoder Smokers YS480 Two-Piece Stainless Steel Cooking Shelf

The Yoder Smokers YS480 Two-Piece Stainless Steel Cooking Shelf upgrades your pellet grill with a premium upper cooking surface built for strength, flexibility, and long-term performance. Precision designed exclusively for the YS480 pellet grill, this two-piece shelf is constructed from solid 304 stainless steel and proudly handcrafted in the USA.

Its modular, interlocking design improves access to the lower cooking grates while preserving valuable upper-shelf space, making it a serious upgrade for cooks who want more control and efficiency during every cook.

• Designed specifically for the Yoder Smokers YS480 pellet grill
• Two-piece modular design for flexibility and easier lower-grate access
• Constructed from solid ¼-inch 304 stainless steel bar stock
• Supports up to 150 lbs without deflection
• Proudly handcrafted in the USA

The two-piece configuration allows the front section of the shelf to be removed independently, giving you full access to the lower cooking surface without disrupting the rest of your cook. This makes it easier to rotate large cuts, wrap meats, or manage multi-zone cooks efficiently.

The modular layout also allows you to create and adjust cooking zones before or even during a cook, giving you greater flexibility than traditional one-piece shelves.

Built from solid ¼-inch 304 stainless steel bar stock with a double-thick outer frame, this cooking shelf is a major upgrade over expanded metal or porcelain-coated alternatives. The stainless steel construction delivers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion while remaining food-safe cook after cook.

Its rigid design ensures long-term durability under heavy loads and high-heat conditions.

An updated height profile adds an extra half inch of clearance beneath the cooking shelf, allowing you to use the Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired Oven without removing the shelf. This makes it easier to cook wood-fired pizza while still taking advantage of the additional upper cooking space.

• Remove the front shelf section for easier access to large cuts below.
• Use the upper shelf for finishing, resting, or smaller items.
• Clean with a stainless-safe brush to protect the surface.
• Preheat thoroughly for even heat distribution across both sections.

• YS480 owners upgrading to a premium stainless cooking shelf
• Pitmasters who want better access to lower cooking grates
• Cooks managing multi-zone or high-capacity cooks
• Anyone looking for American-made durability and performance
