The Yoder YS640S pellet grill already has a strong reputation for durability and cooking performance, but the competition cart version adds serious functional value. The wire shelves give you practical prep and holding space while the heavy-duty drawer keeps your tools, gloves, griddles, grilling grates, and accessories protected, organized, and close at hand.
This upgraded cart is fully powder coated in standard colors and built to match the grill’s rugged fit and finish. The end-mounted drawer keeps the footprint compact while still giving you substantial storage. Combined with the maneuverability of the 8 inch flat-free tires and the stability of the competition cart platform, this setup is ideal for backyard cooks who want premium convenience and for mobile cooks who need travel-ready performance.
Heavy-Duty Construction That Sets Yoder ApartThe YS640S Competition Pellet Grill is not built like a disposable cooker. The hopper is made from 14-gauge steel, and the cooking chamber is made from heavy-duty 10-gauge steel. That extra steel matters. It helps the grill hold heat more effectively, recover temperatures faster, and deliver the solid feel serious grillers expect when investing in a premium pellet grill.
Lift the hood and the difference is obvious. This is a grill built for repeated use, demanding cooks, and long-term ownership. If you have been disappointed by pellet grills that feel thin, flimsy, or temporary, the Yoder 640 pellet grill stands in a completely different class.
ACS Control and FireBoard ConnectivityAt the heart of the YS640S is Yoder’s Adaptive Control System, a control platform designed for precision and consistency. The ACS controller helps maintain steady temperatures while also giving you built-in food monitoring so you can keep a close eye on your cook without constant lid lifting.
With FireBoard cloud connectivity, you can control and monitor your Yoder Smokers YS640S from virtually anywhere. That means you can adjust temperatures, follow cook progress, and use smart cooking programs through the mobile app while staying connected to your grill in real time. For busy cooks or anyone who values control and convenience, this system is a major advantage.
From Low-and-Slow to High-Heat SearingOne of the biggest reasons people choose a Yoder pellet grill is its wide performance range. The YS640S gives you the flexibility to smoke low at 250°F for an all-day brisket or pork butt, then ramp up the heat when it is time to grill burgers, chicken, chops, or steaks. When paired with the right setup, this grill is capable of reaching the high heat needed for serious searing.
That kind of flexibility means you are not buying a single-purpose machine. The YS640S pellet grill is a true workhorse for cooks who want one grill to handle everyday meals, weekend barbecue, and special-event cooking without compromise.
Designed for Real Cooking ConvenienceYoder packed the YS640S Competition Pellet Grill with details that matter when you cook often. The ceramic igniter supports dependable startup performance. The two-piece diffuser gives you more flexibility across different cooking styles. The wire shelves expand your usable workspace. The storage drawer gives you a dedicated place for frequently used gear. Every part of the design supports a smoother cooking experience.
This is especially helpful for cooks who use multiple accessories. Whether you keep gloves, temp probes, grill grates, pans, or the Yoder wood-fired oven components nearby, the built-in storage makes setup and cleanup more efficient.
Who’s This For?- Backyard cooks who want one grill that can smoke, grill, roast, and sear
- People who cook often and need more workspace, mobility, and storage
- Competition teams and event cooks who want a travel-friendly cart setup
- People who are tired of disposable, cheap pellet grills and want a product that will last a very long time
- Use the storage drawer to keep your most-used tools and accessories protected and ready for every cook
- Take advantage of the wire shelves for staging trays, cutting boards, seasoning, and resting pans
- Use the ACS controller and food probes together to manage longer cooks with better precision
- For steak cooks, preheat thoroughly so the cooker and internal components are fully heat soaked before searing
- If you travel with your grill, use the integrated tie-down points to keep the cooker secure during transport

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.
