About All Things Barbecue:

It all started simply enough: just a few friends and family gathering in the backyard, enjoying good company and good food. Somewhere along the line, this simple family tradition turned into a passion, culminating with the 2009 opening of All Things Barbecue.

Located in America’s heartland and shipping across the country. All Things Barbecue has a simple goal: to spread the passion for outdoor cooking to as many people as possible.

“Make sure to order the correct size (there is one for both Yoder smoker sizes). Yes, you need this more than you realize! You also deserve it. It helps to clean out the burner tray of ash more easily when you do not need full access for a deep clean.”

“Adding this diffuser with access door was an excellent addition to my 2017 YS640 that had the one piece diffuser. You can now easilty clean out the burnt pellets without having to remove the very large, greasy, an cumberson diffuser. The best part is we can now sear steaks and hambugers. If you add this you might as well get the grill grate to go on that half of the grill as well, in my opining the grill grate is mandatory when operating the grill with the access plate removed. The sales person at All Things Barbeque on West Douglas in Wichita KS was great in explaining the YS 640, the options, and how everything works.”

“I’ve had my YS640 since 2018 and use it 2-3 times per week. I had to purchase a new diffuser plate as my old one holed through. I decided to get this one with the access door and I’m glad I did. I absolutely love it ! I can now get those steaks seared perfectly. Haven’t had to clean the firebox yet but I know it will be a breeze with this new diffuser plate. Well worth the cost.”

“I've been using my YS640s for about 3 years with the standard diffuser and this makes the process of changing things up to use the searing grates so much easier.”

“Way better than the one without the trap door. Easier to sear and clean out the firebox.”

“I love having this two piece diffuser. Not only does it let me use my Yoder as a smoker but it can act even more as a all in one cooker with the fire box exposed. It does a awesome job grilling anything you need to grill. It can act as a hot spot to cook all types of foods and even better than that I can clean out my fire box quickly with very little effort instead of having to remove all grates and the entire disfuser. This makes life easier for me because I have breathing issuses and this really saves me energy.”
