Available Product Add-Ons
2nd Level Slide-Out Shelf
Adding the second shelf increases the cooking area in your smoker.
Log Lighter
The log lighter allows you to use propane to get the re started.
Charcoal Grate
Adding a charcoal grate to your smoker allows you to convert the main cooking cham-
ber into a direct grill.
Heat Management Plate
The heat management plate installs against the common wall of the rebox and the
cooking chamber. The design forces the heat and smoke to enter the cooking chamber
under the heat plate and is then released incrementally as it travels across the cooking
chamber. This design reduces the side to side temperature variance that is commonly
seen in oset cookers.
Counter Weight
The counter weight is welded onto the door of the main cooking chamber. The counter
weight assists in opening the door by reducing the weight that is being lifted.
Pot Warmer
The pot warmer is a metal channel welded onto the top of the rebox door. The heat
from the rebox warmes the channel and you can place a pot on it to keep it warm.

Smoker Assembly
Smoker Arrival
Your Yoder Smoker will arrive on a pallet wrapped and held on with banding. Cut the
bands and remove the plastic wrap and foam from the smoker. Remove the smoker
from the pallet. It is recommended that two people remove the Yoder from the pallet
due to its size and weight. Open the cooking chamber and remove the two cooking
grates and ash rake. If your cooker is ordered with options, you will nd them pack-
aged inside.
Smoker Placement
All Yoder smokers/grills should always be a minimum of 12 inches away from any com-
bustible surface (wall, rail, etc.).
Leveling the Smoker
To level the smoker, stand in front of the cooking chamber door and place a level on
the lower shelf to help you level the smoker. You need to level the smoker from front to
back and not side to side. Leveling the smoker from side to side will oset the slope
that is built in to the smoker and could cause the grease to run towards the rebox.
Operating the Smoker
InitialBurnO
Before cooking on your smoker for the rst time, burn o the grill to rid it of any foreign
matter. Operate the grill at 275°F to 350°F with all options and grates in place with the
door closed for two hours.
Lighting Your Smoker
Always go through the Pre-Grill Checklist (Page 8).
Look at section “How to build a re” for tips on creating a re for your smoker.
Pre-Heating When Used As A Smoker
Pre-heating your Yoder is important. Allow 45 minutes to get a coal bed built and for
the steel in the pit to heat up. Once the desired cooking temperature is reached, the pit
will be ready to cook on.
Door Position
Preheat and cooker with the door closed. This allows for faster heat-up and will keep
the cooking temperature even; the food will cook faster while consuming less fuel.
