“I purchased the YS640S on the silver comp cart with stainless shelves, and some of the most popular accessories. Drip tray, all weather cover, and grill grates with tool. bought it at local BBQ supply store near me hear in PA. Between the excellent experience with Meadow Creek, and the performance, fit and finish, and quality of the 640, I have nothing but good things to say. If you are an avid cook, and are more than a one trick pony, this is for you. Coming from years of live fire cooking, and constant babysitting of pits, this is a game changer. If there were more stars to give, I would. American made and heavy, what's not to like, plus the controller is top notch. I've smoked, baked, roasted, seared, and made multiple batches of jerky idling at 150 degrees. Skip those Chinese sheet metal hardware store models that are delicate and buy american quality. THIS IS THE LAST COOKER YOU WILL EVER BUY!”

“The saying "you get what you pay for" has never been more true. American made in Kansas, the thing weighs over 400 lbs, has nice caster wheels under it for moving it around with ease (with grease fittings), is made of real steel and not junk sheet metal, and just makes a statement in your backyard. The fireboard app let's you do whatever all day long while you're making bbq that will melt in your mouth. It's literally a set it and forget it piece of iron! This thing is made to last and did I mention made in America? As others have noted, this smoker makes it far to easy to have amazing food. I can smoke a steak and then sear it with this hunk or American made iron and it's high end steak house type of meat! Smoking ribs,chicken, or a brisket on this produces amazing results. I have smoked a whole turkey and we will never cook a turkey any other way. If you are on the fence, it's worth the money and supports American workers. I can't stress enough the build quality of the Yoder and the fact it's made in Kansas. I enjoy smoking wild game harvested in Kansas on my Kansas made smoker and I don't even live there. If you're a vegan or communist, look at a chinese made option.”

“I love this smoker/grill and I use it almost every weekend. Keep it in the garage on the competition cart and use it in my driveway. I bang out the fire pot before each cook and deep clean it a couple times a year. It just delivers great results and makes me look like a hero every time. And with every meat I throw at it including a suckling pig once. Briskets are the best though. It a Stradivarius for brisket. Mine's a 2018 updated with all the great options and upgrades. It's like an old Cadillac.”

“Best Smoker you can buy. Flawless smoking for all types of meats and poultry. The best customer service and support I have experienced in a long time. The FireBoard control is very easy to use and implementing new recipes are a breeze. My treagor buddies are green with envy when they come over. Extremely happy with the product and services. You simply cannot get a better smoker for the money.”

“Makes it almost too easy to produce some great food, and it’s built like a tank. The option to go as low as 150 degrees or as high as 700 is awesome. The grill grates or cast iron accessories are must haves, and I’ll probably grab a cold weather jacket for it before this winter comes (MI). So glad I spent the money on this 640”

“If you appreciate rock solid construction, fine craftsmanship and exceptional smoking and grilling...the YS640S is without question a must-have. I am not easily impressed as it seems so many things today are cheaply built. The quality of my new YS640S has me in awe. It is wonderful to see a company that undoubtedly believes in building a first-class product. As for the cooking...absolutely spot on with very precise temperature control and loaded with features to fit how I like to cook. The onboard FireBoard has truly made my smoking experience much more relaxing as well. I should also mention that it runs incredibly quiet compared to any other smoker I have owned...sits right on our patio near the seating area and you can hardly tell it is running, aside from the beautiful aroma of smoke! I have absolutely ZERO buyers remorse and will highly recommend Yoder Pellet Grills!”

“Yoder Smokers are the best. I bought my YS640 in 2016 at Everything BBQ in OKC. I use it all the time. I did the conversion when the wifi controller came out. It’s the sickest pellet smoker on the market.”
