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 -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.
