Know before you buy
These GrillGrates are specifically engineered to fit Yoder Smokers S-Series pellet grills, including the YS480S and the Outlander models.
The grates feature a dual-sided design. One side has raised rails for creating professional sear marks and concentrating heat, while the reverse side provides a flat, solid surface ideal for cooking items like eggs, vegetables, or smash burgers.
No, these grates are constructed from hard-anodized aluminum, which is naturally rust-resistant and designed to withstand high-heat outdoor cooking environments.
The custom spatula is specifically shaped to fit between the raised rails of the GrillGrates. This allows you to slide easily under food for a clean flip without damaging the grate surface or struggling with standard, bulky tools.
The valleys between the raised rails capture juices and fats that drip from your food. As these juices hit the hot aluminum, they vaporize and sizzle, infusing your food with a more intense, smoky flavor.
Yes, they are built to perform under intense heat and are rated for temperatures up to 700°F, making them perfect for achieving a high-quality sear that standard pellet grill grates often struggle to produce.
