Yoder Smokers YS640S Built-In Pellet Grill is designed to serve as the centerpiece of a serious outdoor kitchen. Unlike freestanding pellet grills that require carts or stands, this purpose-built system is engineered to drop directly into a non-combustible countertop, creating a seamless built-in installation that delivers both performance and professional appearance.
As the flagship model of the Yoder S Series lineup, the YS640S Built-In Pellet Grill represents the pinnacle of American-made pellet grill engineering. Built with heavy 10-gauge steel and equipped with advanced digital control technology, it combines traditional pit craftsmanship with modern convenience including WiFi connectivity, cloud monitoring, and true direct-flame grilling capability.
The integrated vented base system offers three mounting configurations and helps dissipate trapped heat to protect your outdoor kitchen structure. Combined with the insulated hopper, redesigned high-airflow burn grate, and S-Series ceramic ignition system, this grill is engineered for consistent performance across all seasons while delivering the durability Yoder Smokers are known for.

The Yoder Smokers YS640S Built-In Pellet Grill features the Adaptive Control System (ACS), an advanced controller powered by FireBoard technology. This intelligent system constantly reacts to real cooking conditions such as opening the lid, adding cold meat, or changing pellet types, helping maintain precise temperature stability throughout your cook.
WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity allow you to control and monitor your grill through the YS Drive App on iOS and Android devices. With two integrated food probes, pitmasters can track internal meat temperatures without lifting the lid and disrupting heat flow.

Does the YS640S built-in include a cart or stand?
No. This model is specifically designed for built-in outdoor kitchen installations and does not include a cart.
What makes the Adaptive Control System different?
The ACS controller uses intelligent algorithms that react to real cooking variables such as lid openings, pellet changes, and adding cold meat to maintain more stable cooking temperatures.
How durable is the ceramic igniter?
The ceramic ignition system heats faster and typically lasts about five times longer than standard contact igniters.
Can the grill truly sear like a direct-flame cooker?
Yes. The Yoder direct flame grilling system allows temperatures above 700°F for steakhouse-style searing.
Is the smoke output stronger than most pellet grills?
Yes. Between 150º and 300º, the YS640S produces stronger smoke output than many pellet grills, giving food deeper wood-fired flavor.

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.
