Yoder Smokers YS480S Competition Pellet Grill with Wire Shelves: Mobility, Power, and True Flame Versatility

The Yoder Smokers YS480S Competition Pellet Grill with Wire Shelves is built for cooks who want competition-ready mobility without sacrificing performance, control, or durability. This model upgrades the standard YS480 configuration with Yoder’s custom competition cart, delivering improved maneuverability, travel-ready stability, and a bold, unmistakable Yoder Smokers presence.

Designed, fabricated, and assembled in the USA, the YS480S combines heavy-duty steel construction, advanced digital control, and true direct-flame grilling in one versatile pellet grill.

Competition Cart Built for Movement and Stability

The YS480S Competition model features a custom competition cart equipped with wire shelves, oversized 8-inch casters, and flat-free tires for smooth movement across patios, driveways, and event grounds. Integrated tie-down points make trailering and transport secure and straightforward.

This cart doesn’t just improve mobility—it reinforces the rugged, professional look Yoder Smokers is known for.

Advanced Control with the ACS System

At the heart of the YS480S is the Yoder Smokers Adaptive Control System. This digital controller features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to monitor and manage your grill directly from your phone using the FireBoard-powered app.

Two integrated food probes are included for real-time temperature monitoring, while the ceramic ignition system delivers fast startups and long-term reliability.

True Direct-Flame Grilling and Low-and-Slow Smoking

The YS480S is built to handle a wide range of cooking styles. With the ability to configure the grill for direct-flame cooking, you can achieve steakhouse-level searing temperatures near 700°F—a capability most pellet grills cannot match.

At the same time, the YS480S excels at low-and-slow smoking. Whether you’re running a 12-hour brisket cook at 250°F or roasting poultry, temperature stability remains consistent and dependable.

Generous Cooking Capacity

With 800 square inches of total cooking space and nearly 12 inches of vertical clearance, the YS480S easily accommodates large cuts of meat and multi-level cooks. From briskets and pork butts to beer-can chickens and turkeys, this grill offers flexibility without crowding.

American-Made Quality and Warranty

The YS480S is proudly made in the USA and backed by Yoder Smokers’ industry-leading warranty. The cooking chamber is covered for 10 years, while the ACS controller and ceramic igniter are each covered for 3 years.

This level of coverage reflects the confidence Yoder Smokers has in their materials, craftsmanship, and long-term performance.

Pro Tips
  • Use direct-flame mode for high-heat searing and finishing steaks.
  • Take advantage of Wi-Fi control to monitor long cooks remotely.
  • Clean the burn grate regularly for consistent ignition and airflow.
  • Secure the grill using the built-in tie-downs when transporting.

Customer Stories

I'm a backyard smoker who is grateful for companies like DDR BBQ Supply who cares about the customer and goes out their way to make hard to find custom smoker parts and other grilling supplies, then follows up after the sale to make sure I'm satisfied. You can't ask for more than that.

Robert Henson

This is the best thing going. I have an offset smoker and it works amazingly well, saves on charcoal and wood, Keeps the smoker at a set temperature even overnight. Well worth the money I would recommend to anyone.

Richard Williams

It took some time to get the smoker, but DDR stayed in touch with me letting me know the status. Received last week, fired it up over the weekend smoked some pork butts and ribs. With the bbq guru this thing did not fluctuate at all held steady all day long. The outside of the smoker was cool to the touch except around the charcoal chamber, but that still would not hurt you if you touched it. Great if you are worried about kids being around it. Love it so far.

James Booterbaugh

I’m glad I stumbled across this company. Fantastic customer service. Fast shipping, at a very reasonable price. Very pleased with my custom order and the whole process. Great company.

Johnny O’Brien

This is a solid product from a great American company super great communication fast shipping love it. I hope to buy something from you in the future.

Jason Brown

Purchased this product for my husband to replace the original grill grate that had burned through. This grill grate from DDR BBQ Supply was a perfect fit (after speaking on the phone with their customer service to insure the exact measurements) and made from much thicker material than the original product. Would not hesitate to order from DDR BBQ Supply again.

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.
