The stock grates on a Yoder do the job. This one does it better for years longer, with more flexibility, and without compromise.

The Yoder Smokers 304 Stainless Steel Two-Piece Cooking Grate is a modular, heavy-duty replacement cooking surface built specifically for the YS480 and YS640 pellet grills. Constructed from solid ¼-inch 304 stainless steel bar stock, it replaces expanded metal and porcelain-coated alternatives with a surface that handles 150 pounds of load without deflection and resists rust and corrosion through years of hard use.

The two-piece design is where this grate earns its place. The front section removes independently, giving you full access to the lower cooking surface mid-cook without disrupting anything above. That same modularity lets you set up multiple cooking zones before you fire up or while you're already running. The double-thick outer frame adds structural rigidity that single-layer grates can't match, and the updated height profile adds a half inch of additional clearance below making it fully compatible with the Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired Oven attachment without removing the grate first.

This grate is built and handcrafted in the USA, the same standard Yoder applies to the grills themselves. If you're running a Yoder YS480 or YS640, this is the surface it deserves.

🔥 Pitmaster Tip

Take advantage of the modular front section when you're managing a long cook. Pull it mid-smoke to add a pan of water, adjust a drip tray, or access the lower grate for anything that needs more direct heat all without touching what's already on the upper surface. Once you cook with that kind of access, you won't want to go back to a single-piece grate.

Common Questions About This Product

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this work with the Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired Oven for YS480 & YS640 attachment?
A: Yes. The updated height profile on this grate adds a half inch of additional clearance below, which means you can run the Wood-Fired Oven attachment without pulling the grate first. That's a meaningful improvement over the standard grate if you cook pizza regularly.

Q: Is 304 stainless a real upgrade over the stock grates?
A: The stock Yoder grates perform well, but they're expanded metal. This is solid ¼-inch 304 stainless bar stock with a double-thick outer frame and a 150-lb load rating. It's heavier, more rigid, and built to outlast the grill. If you cook frequently and plan to keep the grill for the long haul, yes it's a genuine upgrade.

Q: How do I clean 304 stainless after a cook?
A: Brush while still warm with a quality grill brush. For heavier buildup, a stainless steel cleaner works well avoid steel wool, which can scratch the surface and compromise corrosion resistance over time. Periodic re-oiling keeps the surface performing well.

Q: Is this really made in the USA?
A: Yes. Like Yoder's grills themselves, this grate is handcrafted in the USA not assembled from imported components.
