The Yoder Smokers YS480s is a serious pellet grill built for cooks who want precision without compromise. Powered by the new ACS Adaptive Control System with two integrated food probes, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a ceramic ignition that starts reliably every time, the YS480s delivers consistent results whether you're running a low-and-slow smoke at 150°F or searing at 700°F.

Heavy gauge steel construction, stay-cool handles, a grease drain for easy cleanup, and front and side shelves made from 7/16" hard chrome-plated round bar steel make the YS480s as practical as it is capable. The 20-pound hopper runs efficiently at approximately 1/2 to 1 lb of pellets per hour at 250°F, and the included heat diffuser with access door gives you even more control over your cook. The custom-coded microprocessor delivers true set-it-and-forget-it usability, producing more smoke than the competition from 150° to 300°F.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

Inconsistent grill temperatures ruining long cooks. Limited cooking space for large cuts or multiple dishes. No remote monitoring capability during extended smokes. Unreliable ignition in cold or damp conditions.

✓ Installation Tips

Assembly is required upon delivery. Allow adequate clearance around the grill for safe operation — minimum 18" on all sides from combustible surfaces. Download the Yoder Smokers app before first use to pair the ACS controller via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and configure your food probes. Season the grill at 350°F for 45–60 minutes before cooking. Use food-grade hardwood pellets only — avoid blended or low-quality pellets that can cause auger jams or inconsistent temperatures. Register your warranty with Yoder Smokers using your proof of purchase and manufactured date.
