Hands down the finest smoker/grill I have ever used. I firmly believe this is the world's best smoker at its price point. Robust construction, reliability, truly a generational smoker and it's made in America!

I have owned the YS640 for 10 years. What a great product and company to work with. These smokers are both adaptable and bulletproof. I was able to convert it to the S series and now with Fireboard, this thing is unparalleled. I would buy another one today but there is no need. TEN years on an American Made product!! Well done Yoder!

Works great! Does it all. Definitely watch the videos though because it’s a little more complicated than you would think. I got one of the first models with the new ball bearing fan. It’s supposed to make it more durable but it also makes it VERY LOUD . I can hear it running even from inside with the door closed. This prevented a 5 star in my opinion.

I bought my YS 640 about 3 months ago I agree this thing is a beast!!! Crate weighted 471 pounds. Only thing it needs is a way to close the stack down to keep more heat and smoke in the cooking chamber. It’s also not as fuel efficient as my pit boss. But very happy with my purchase. Yoders way of addressing the smoke was buy a smoke tube. My way is close the stack works better

This thing is amazing. I live in northern MN and it works just fine even in below zero temps. Sear, smoke, grill. Attachments for everything else. Couldn't be happier

Love the heat retention and various cooking configurations versatility i get with this smokin’ beast. Ive had older smokers but this has been more than ideal. A few things that would make this better like cable management for ac cord, and some additional grate holders..still what an absolute pleasure to support an american company and the ecosystem it also supports. Happy grillin\smokin’

I bought this in the spring, had some trouble with the shipping company but Yoder was all over it. What a Pellet Grill! I had 2 Traeger Pro Series and thought they were very good pellet grills. The Yoder 640 YS is a beast! I love everything about this grill, it's been an amazing summer for grilling, searing steaks and smoking vegetables. Thanks Yoder!!

I got into smoking and upped my backyard cooking game a few years ago when I purchased a Green Mountain Grill. I thought that grill was good but after a few years it started to wear out, rust, and the app got real flakey. I was thinking I was going to buy a higher end Traeger and walked right past the Yoder because it looked like way too much for me. The sales person sorta asked why I would spend that sort of money on the Traeger when I could get this monster for about the same amount. I did extensive research and found that this was the pellet grill for me! The ability to remove the door to get access to flame has greatly improved my cooking ability. The fireboard app is top notch and works flawlessly....way better than my GMG app ever worked. I've purchased a number of accessories like the grill grates and the griddle. It's really expanded what I try cooking outside and I'm having a ton of fun with it. I highly recommend the grease guard as I can't believe how much junk I drip on it. Drippings like that destroyed the GMG grill. I feel like the drawer accessory needs to be included with this grill. I found myself with too many bits and pieces and needed a good place to keep them. Thanks for making such an awesome product!
