Yoder Smokers Wood-Fired Oven | ATBBQ.com Product Roundup

[@paulfox9694]

I received my Yoder and wood fired oven yesterday. This is the first thing we did with it. The comment from the kids was “we don’t have to buy pizza anymore, let’s do this every night!” Boom! It’s awesome!

[@allthingsbbq]

This is THE BEST!! 😆 You got the kids seal of approval and we don't think there's any better honor than that! 🙌 🙇‍♂️ 🙌

[@johnlangley4393]

Hey Chef Tom do you have the lasagna recipe in here for the Yoder pizza oven? Loving this thing.

[@pflick13]

Dude, you are one busy chef bringing it on in the grilling world! So much appreciation for your time and efforts!!!

[@samfrank2401]

Excited to get mine, ordered on day one! Love the Yoder R&D, have (and use very often) all the accessories, namely the cast iron and grill grates, so far the only issue I've had are the grillgrates warping over time, I use them a couple times a week and prob need to order another pair, wish there was a more durable option. I also don't use the half-rack as much as I thought I would.

[@kevene1]

Just purchase mine today! Can you please make a video using steak as an example? Chef Tom , you and Yoder keep up the good work!

Since I have a Yoder Cheyenne, you've already sold me on the YS640 once my Weber G E-310 goes for my everyday grill...now you're making me want it to go more quickly.

We all look forward to having you cooking on a Yoder! If you are looking for another solid reason to switch to the Yoder, the Wood Fired Oven is truly amazing. Thanks for watching!

[@JTB559]

If I didn't have the green mountain pizza oven attachment already, this would be a nice purchase. But I keep looking at the Ooni Koda 16!

[@therealjoshpphoto]

​@Scott Johnstone the Ooni lineup is superb. While this is a nice idea, I think Ooni has cornered the market as far as usability, looks, and effectiveness, and customer service. I just upgraded from a portrable Fyra model to a Karu 12 and it lives on the countertop of my outdoor kitchen. It looks great, no setup or take down. Both have been incredible to use. We use it every friday night for family pizza night. This seems like a lot to set up, take down, and you can see there is a A LOT of pellet ash shooting up and landing on the stone (which is going to end up on your pizza). While being "able" to do so many things, doesn't make it practical. Seems like everything these days is touted as a swiss army knife of appliances in order to make it more appealing. I think at that price point, there are FAR better options. Just my .02 as someone who smokes, grills, makes pizza religiously. :) Scott, I highly recommend getting an Ooni. A 12'' works perfect for my family of 5. I honestly can't see a major need for a 16, as a 12'' pie, as quick as they cook, really is a perfect size. Everyone takes turns rolling out dough and making their own unique pizzas. Cheers!

[@scottsmith1897]

@Scott Johnstone Had the koda 16 and its way to big unless you have ample room for it. I would love the yoder attachment but once again storing it does not look great....

[@chrisbrennan2208]

Very cool accessory for the Yoder.

[@RyanTomei-d5c]

@allthingsbbq is there a wood chip or pellet you recommend using with the wood-fired oven to reduce the level of ash? thank!

[@michaelparsons541]

Chef Tom, I got my Yoder Pizza Oven for Christmas and just used it for the first time…and I have a couple of questions. I noticed that you had trouble getting the first pizza off of the peel when first sliding it into the oven, so much so that y’all cut that part of the video…so how did you get it to come off the peel? I had major issues with this, to the point that I lost some toppings off the backside of my pizza. Also, my pizza crusts seemed to burn pretty quickly…not sure if it has anything to do with the altitude I’m at, but it was frustrating to have burnt crust and the middle not be completely done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@jimelmore9728]

That’s so cool! Can’t wait to see what can be made in that oven..

[@dougkinney2687]

What type of pepperoni are you using for the smaller cup style on the top? Looks great. Just picked up my Yoder pizza oven and plan to season it today and pizza tomorrow!

[@BADAZZHD4LIFE]

What brand of little cup pepperoni are you using? Look delicious

[@caleballeman8779]

Being able to control the heat with the pellet grill sounds like a great thing to branch out into Detroit style pizza...

[@realpdm]

This looks pretty neat. I'd sure like to see how people handle storing Yoder accessories like this. Grill grates and such sure I can toss in a cabinet near my Yoder, but the top full and half grates and this pizza oven (which I love the idea of) I'm not sure just how to store something like that which will be relatively dirty on the outside but I want to keep out of the elements and from getting dusty.

I do same on a 22" Weber kettle set up with the stone on the cold side and wood added on the flame side, separated by a couple bricks. Flames coursing across the lid, 900+F, pizzas quick and amazing. Only downside is running this hot deforms the aluminum 'one-touch' damper/scrapers, having replaced them twice now. SS would be nice!

[@Sequential_Shift]

It’s not really maintaining the temperature inside the pizza oven though is it? The temperature probe is outside of the pizza oven right? So it’ll maintain the temp so long as you keep the smoker door shut

[@allthingsbbq]

Because of the heat distribution plate and the dome design, you're directing a large portion of the fire (heat) into a small area - the dome of the wood fired oven. So, the set temp of your grill is just determining how hard you're running the fire. The inside of the wood fired oven portion is significantly hotter than the set temp of the grill. The inside of the wood fired oven portion will also be significantly hotter than the rest of the grill because of where you're directing the heat. This is why we suggest checking the inside of the oven with an infrared thermometer in a couple of places to get a good read on what temp the oven portion is running at. In our tests, we've routinely recorded 900°F in the top of the dome and 700°F on the stone. With the pellet grill controller set at 600° for an extended period of time, we are seeing temps in the 900°F range inside the oven. Turning down the controller set temp decreases the temperature inside of the oven portion. Hope this helps!

on the 460 can you still use the top shelf if you want to? or is the oven too tall?

[@brandonb417]

So I just ordered one, and I'm curious, how do you control the temp? The heat sensor sits above the oven, so the set temp wont be the actual oven temp. I'm wondering what you set the pit temp to to get specific oven temps.

How about a recipe for fish / cod fillets in the Yoder pizza oven....

[@mattkeysme]

Is it possible to use this thing without removing the big steel diffuser plate? I already have the plate that opens to expose the firebox, it would be nice if this could be used directly over that opening without any more fuss.

[@allthingsbbq]

Great question. Yes, the diffuser needs to be removed. The heat management plate has a large opening on the left side to allow the fire to extend into the oven and roll over the dome.

Hmm... I think I could make that same lasagna in my kitchen with my stove and oven (plus broiler) and save a ton of money not burning pellets. This is a clever device but my guess is that it will be such a PITA to take apart your Yoder, install it, cook two pizzas, take it apart, put the Yoder back together for standard use, and find a place to put the pizza oven away... I would use it about every other month. I had a YS640S (bought it from ATTBQ) and liked it a lot except for the poor paint quality. It was a beast to keep clean as it was. Taking it apart, especially the big heat deflector, was a chore. I think if you want to cook pizzas, get a small standalone pizza oven and save the setup/take-down hassle.

[@kenthanson]

I have the one for the gmg and it really is a pita. I store it back in the box I got it in but when I’m using it I have the 2 deflector pieces and the 2 grates I just have stuff all over the place. Does the gmg one make amazing pizza? Absolutely and it’s one of the only reasons I keep a pellet grill. The $499 price tag is also very high, but that’s the yoder tax.

[@leebaker1238]

I have the perfect solution. I have 2 Yoders, a 640 and a 480. I was going to sell one but now I'll keep them both and make one a full time pizza oven!

[@samfrank2401]

Yoder is perfect for those of us with a limited sized backyard (but with plenty of garage storage space). It does everything you want when it comes to outdoor cooking; it smokes, it grills, and now you can add a pizza oven to its abilities. I find the term "I had a YS640S" suspicious, because anyone who has "had" one still has it.
