“Fantastic smoker. Easy setup from pallet to placement. Have used it a lot since it arrived, all great results. Ribs, pork shoulders, briskets. Was concerned with the included temp probes at first but they evened out after a few cooks. Would reccommend to anyone from novice to experienced.”

“We're so happy we finally purchased this smoker. We've been thinking about it for a while and it makes smoking so easy. We've already made ribs and a turkey. We can't wait to use it at Christmas time for our smoked beef tenderloin. My husband is always looking for the next great recipe from Chef Tom too!!”

“The YS640s is well made, strong, built to last. Simple to use, so much grill space and it smells great! Got mine as a gift & have made killer baby back ribs, Mac & cheese and even a pizza! This is one of the best grills I've ever owned & will last a life time!”

“The Yoder Smokers YS640 has truly impressed me after six cooks. As someone who owns both a Green Egg and a commercial traditional smoker, I’ve found that the YS640’s ability to control temperature is remarkable, especially for a pellet smoker. The smoke level is more than I expected for this type of smoker, and it’s a great balance between flavor and convenience. While my traditional smoker offers a bit more in terms of smoke flavor, managing its temperature on longer cooks is labor-intensive. The YS640, with its easy-to-use controls, has made that trade-off worth it. The ease of maintaining steady heat without constant oversight has led me to favor the Yoder for most of my smoking needs moving forward. If you're looking for a set-and-forget option that still delivers impressive results, this is an excellent choice.”

“I have had my YS640 since 2014 and it is used extensively. I am completely satisfied and would not consider any other pellet smoker, period. I purchased a Yoder fitted cover in about 2015 and it is still like new as well. I live in Arizona so not subjected to the winters and moisture present on other parts of the country. My YS640 still looks and functions like new; highly recommend. It holds the set temperature within 25 or 30 degrees and this is with the 'Old" temperature control system. We have smoked literally everything, low and slow fish to high and hot direct grilling. All with outstanding results.”

“Better than advertised. I have only had my ys640s for just over a month and have smoked a couple briskets and pork butts, but the best thing is the grill grates. Grilling steaks is a breeze. If in the market to buy you won’t be disappointed.”
