Whether you're cooking on the competition circuit or hosting backyard gatherings, this grill is engineered to provide consistent temperatures, powerful direct-flame grilling, and massive cooking capacity.
Built on the same proven platform as the standard YS640S, the competition model adds a heavy-duty competition cart with wire shelves and large flat-free casters. This upgrade improves maneuverability while maintaining the rugged, unmistakable Yoder Smokers design. Integrated tie-down points also make it easy to secure the grill during travel to competitions, events, or catering jobs.

The Yoder Smokers YS640S Competition Pellet Grill features a purpose-built competition cart designed for improved mobility and stability. Large flat-free casters roll easily across patios, driveways, and competition sites while wire storage shelves add practical workspace.
Integrated tie-down points make transporting the grill simple and secure when traveling to competitions or events.
Large Cooking Capacity for Serious BBQThe Yoder Smokers YS640S Competition Pellet Grill offers approximately 1,070 square inches of cooking space with nearly 12 inches of vertical headroom. This allows pitmasters to cook multiple briskets, pork shoulders, racks of ribs, whole chickens, or large turkeys without crowding the cooking surface.
This generous capacity makes the grill equally suited for backyard parties, family cookouts, catering, or competition BBQ.
Direct Flame Grilling and Low-and-Slow SmokingUnlike many pellet grills that focus only on smoking, the Yoder Smokers YS640S Competition Pellet Grill can also be configured for direct flame grilling. When set up for direct grilling, the grill can reach temperatures up to 700°F, allowing you to sear steaks and burgers with intense heat.
At lower temperatures, the grill excels at traditional low-and-slow BBQ. Set it to 250°F and maintain steady temperatures for extended cooks like brisket, pork shoulder, or ribs.
Advanced ACS Control SystemThe Yoder Smokers ACS Control System provides precise temperature management and convenient remote control through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Using the mobile app, pitmasters can monitor grill temperatures, track meat probe readings, and adjust settings from their smartphone.
Two integrated food probes allow accurate internal temperature monitoring without opening the grill, helping maintain stable cooking conditions.
Built in the USA for Long-Term DurabilityThe Yoder Smokers YS640S Competition Pellet Grill is constructed with heavy gauge steel designed to maintain heat stability and withstand years of serious cooking. This robust build quality is one of the reasons Yoder grills are trusted by competition pitmasters and serious backyard cooks alike.
The grill is backed by an outstanding warranty that includes ten years on the cooking chamber, three years on the ACS controller, and three years on the ceramic ignition system.

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.
