“I've owned a Green Mtn. smoker also a Weber smoker. Yoders are premium priced and well built. Along the lines of an M1A1 tank😊 The 640 burns cleaner than than the mentioned two above. BY FAR.”

“I recieved the grill as expected. set up and performed the initial burn in all went well was super excited about the Quality of this grill. I have had 2 different Traeger grills and one Camp Chef cabinet style smoker with variuos issues erroring out, hot rods constantly going bad ETC. For the first cook I wanted to do a brisket, fast forward to the next day seasoned the brisket and fire up the smoker set the temp to 195. Down loaded the fire bord APP put the brisket on the smoker and let it do it's thing. fast forward to the next day everything seamed to be working great, wrapped the brisket and turned the heat up to 250 degrees and let it go, Then came back 45 minutes later and the smoker was rolling out black smoke and white smoke from the controller area and hopper. i unplugged the machine and took it off the patio in case the fire got bigger. and tried to smother the fire. Called customer service and was able to get ahold of tech support to talk about what happened and he wanted me to hook the machine to wifi so he could look at some things after expalining to him that plugging this machine in was probably not much of an option and that anything short of replaceing this smoker in whole was not acceptable he then told me to contact the selling dealer, they do not refund or swap out entire smokers. but yet one would expect that when you spend this kind of money of something that is supposed to be quality would atleast make it throught the first cook. Now waiting for the selling dealer to contact me back to see what story I get here. Very Disappointed in yoder I thought they built quality product and stood behind them and would not offer to rebuild a brand new smoker that has caught fire on the FIRST COOK!!!!! Ok. Yes Yoder sent me another grill after the first one burned up on the first cook. Took over a month to get the new one and to no surprise. Total pile of garbage. These guys have an issue with these things running away with temp. They want to say it’s a grease fire but the second grill caught fire after five cooks. They again said it was a grease fire. Ok. Not likely. This grill you set to 350 which is the preset temp once you turn it on. And it goes well above 450. Then maybe it will settle down and cook at the temp you want. But if you want to smoke a steak for awhile then turn it up it takes for ever to bring the temp up. Don’t waist your money on one of these grills it is the biggest disappointment I have ever purchased. And now talking to others who are having the same issues with there’s have actually offered to give me there’s. Now that is all you need to know. Look anywhere else. These are absolute garbage.”

“Best smoker I ever owned”

“We always strive to purchase American Made and our latest encounter with the people at Yoder has reinforced that goal tremendously! We were impacted by the wrath of Hurricane Milton and unfortunately we weren't able to get our Yoder smoker out of harms way. We called the company to determine if the cost of all of the replacement parts would make sense versus purchasing a completely new smoker. Without any hesitation at all, Larry, in customer service said that they would send me all of the internal parts to get me back up and running at NO CHARGE! I had to actually hear it again before I believed what he said. I asked why would they do that as I was prepared to have to pay one way or the other. He said "that's just what we do in situations like this...". With all that we had been going thru from the hurricane and my elevated emotions, this literally brought tears to my eyes. What an amazing gesture and act of kindness. I will be a forever loyal Yoder customer and will continue our quest to buy American!”

“Purchased the smoker spent almost 2900.00 on it. Get it home perform the burn in as specified instead of the set temp going to 350 it went to 475 and stayed there. After the burn in shut everything down let it cool down and started it up again. Set the Set Temp to 175 again the temp went to 265 and basically stayed there. Shutdown again, started it up and immediately set the Set Temp to 150 currently at 196 after 1.5 hours. Was supposed to do a cook starting in 3 hours. I have owned 3 Traegers, 1 Green Mountain and 2 RecTeq's over the last 30 years and this is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a smoker. Called support and left messages, also left messages with the company I purchased it from and no response. Guess my family BBQ with 44 people will not be happening tomorrow.”

We received Terry's messages after hours on Friday evening and promptly returned the calls Saturday morning. After reaching Terry we were able to address the issues positively. We hope Terry is loving his new pit!

“Bought the 640 with the comp. Cart after selling a kidney and half of my liver. I’ve used charcoal, wood and other pellet smokers in the past. Seriously if you can afford one get one, seriously a game changer. First go I did pork and beef ribs and they were hands down my best work ( or Yoders) on top of an amazing smoker you can get 0% financing for 6 months to lessen the blow. Built like a tank, post smoke clean up is as about as easy as it gets. Get one….. Seriously”

“I bought this dream smoker 2 years ago and I can honestly say the only thing spectacular about this product is the body and quality of welds. I have to constantly reset to factory settings and now that’s not even working. I vacuum the area around the igniter before each use so I know it’s not me. I guess I bought a huge black lemon.”

“I spent hours researching smokers, finally decided to go with the Yoder, number one reason it was “Made in America. Second reason, it was equipped with FireBoard pit controls, which I am very familiar with. After owning it for several weeks and several smoke sessions. I realize I certainly made the exact perfect choice for me, what a great smoker.”

“First of all I love my YS640s. But more importantly I LOVE THIS COMPANY! Never have I ever experienced such AMAZINGLY AWESOME customer service from a company. I have had 2 minor issues with my smoker in the past 2 years and they have sent me the part needed before even addressing my issue. I even emailed once to find out what touch up paint they recommend because the bottle that came with my smoker wouldn't spray. They send me a brand new can of paint without even telling me. Even if I didn't like my smoker as much as I do, I would still buy their products just for the customer service and how much they care about their customers. Fortunately they care just as much about their fantastic products as well and deliver extremely well build products without cutting corners.”

“If you want the best of the best; go Yoder! I had a Bradley electric smoker that used pucks to generate smoke. God forbid a puck gets stuck; the smoke shuts off! Don’t count on smoking overnight! After several failed smokes due to puck issue the Bradley went in the trash! After an intense research for the perfect smoker. Yoder was the winner. Once it arrived and seeing it first hand in person; this thing is a beast! It’s made like a tank and weights as much as one! I can tell you the Fireboad app is AWESOME!! I can control my smoker from anywhere I have signal to my cell phone. The smoker is so easy to use. I hardly ever use my oven anymore. Trust me; but the Yoder; you will not regret it! It’s worth every penny!”

“I purchased the YS640 smoker about a year ago. It takes a little getting use to but once I figured it out have to say it's my new favorite grill/smoker vs. gas or lump charcoal Egg. Also want to give a shout out to the Yoder customer support team. They have been very helpful with a couple issues I had. Response is timely and accurate. I'm a Yoder fan.”

“Will not control temperature close to set point. Temperature span runs 20-30 degrees below and then rises to 20-30 degrees above set point. It never settles in and holds close to set point. Customer service says it is working normal. After complaining they finally sent me a new temperature transducer which did nothing. I am very tired of dealing with customer support that keeps telling me nothing is wrong. They sell a product under false claims of performance, then won't support it when it fails to meet their claims.”

“Yoder Smokers takes the pellet smoker to new heights with the YS1500s Outlander! Taking what was already king with the YS1500s, with its stick-burner qualities, thick steel and cooking capabilities, and adding a massive pellet hopper, rugged wheels and smooth axle, Yoder has made the Outlander truly the best overall pick among pellet enthusiasts and gives true meaning to #WhyIYoder.”

“I just received my new Durango 20 this week, and I gotta say this unit is one of high quality for sure. I've built smokers, and grills myself over the years for my own use, and to help the local kids learn not only welding skills but how too-(cooking 101), along with knowing you can modify (grill and recipes) if need be to fit your needs. Now that they're grown and doing the same for there kids, I was looking for a quality heirloom that will outlast me, and will give my own grandkids some learning fun. Thank you for such a quality product that you guys in the shop have created. Will be seasoning her up immediately.”

“Purchased my 480 pellet grill a little over three years ago. Within the first year I started having problems with paint peeling. It has been non stop ever since trying to touch up. I plans to strip it down in the spring and hopefully put a good primer on it and stop the bleeding. I am very meticulous about my grills and keep them covered year round. The Broilmaster grill I bought 13 years ago looks and wears much better. The expensive Yoder cover I purchased with the smoker wore completely out within first three yeArs. I purchased a $25 cover on Amazon that would fit and is a much better product. Over all. I am not happy with my over priced purchase! The Green Mountain Pellet grill I had for 6 years before I bought my Yoder looks better and has held up better than my Yoder!”

“Browsed and studied the smoker grill market until I was blue in the face. Finally chose the Yoder YS640 and bit the bullet and bought one. A 350 lb box hit my driveway in about a day. Put it together with ease! Ordered a Wildfork Prime Brisket and went to school with the Meat Church guy on Youtube. Two days later I had conquered the illusive Brisket with flying colors. The Fireboard app made monitoring my cook a breeze. Can’t say enough about how well this thing is built and how well it cooks! 2 thumbs up👍👍 could not be happier.”
