Yoder Smokers YS1500S Competition Pellet Grill

Competition-Ready Performance. Built in America.

Take your barbecue to the next level with the Yoder Smokers YS1500S Competition Pellet Grill. Built in Kansas, USA, this heavy-duty pellet smoker combines offset-inspired heat management with the precision and convenience of modern pellet cooking. With 1,500 square inches of cooking space, professional-grade construction, and a competition cart designed for mobility, the YS1500S is built for serious backyard pitmasters, competitive barbecue teams, and high-volume cooking.

1,500 Square Inches of Cooking Space

From multiple briskets and pork shoulders to ribs, chicken, and steaks, the YS1500S provides the space needed for larger cooks. Its spacious main cooking area and second-level slide-out cooking shelf deliver versatility for smoking, roasting, and grilling.

Patented Heat Management System

Inspired by Yoder's traditional offset smokers, the patented Heat Management System allows you to manage heat distribution across the cooking chamber. Adjust the cooking environment to create temperature zones for everything from low-and-slow barbecue to higher-temperature grilling.

Adaptive Control System with WiFi and Bluetooth

Yoder's Adaptive Control System (ACS), powered by FireBoard technology, delivers responsive digital temperature control. WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity allow you to monitor and manage your cook remotely, while two integrated food probes help track internal temperatures.

Heavy-Duty American-Made Construction

Constructed with a 3/16-inch-thick steel cooking chamber, the YS1500S is engineered for durability and heat retention. A ceramic ignition system, counterweighted door, stay-cool handles, and dual door temperature gauges make this cooker a serious addition to any barbecue setup.

Competition Cart Mobility

The heavy-duty competition cart features 10-inch flat-free tires, built-in tie-down points, and a stainless steel front shelf. Designed for practical mobility, it makes moving the YS1500S from trailer to cooking position easier. Available in Black, Orange, or Silver cart finishes.
