Dangers, Warnings and Cautions
Failure to follow the “Dangers, Warnings and Cautions” may result in serious
bodily injury, death, or re.
• Read this manual completely before using your Yoder for the rst time.
• Keep the grill a minimum of 12 inches away from combustible surfaces.
• The cooking chamber door must remain closed during the cool-down
cycle. Failure to do so can cause burn back in the hopper.
• Do not modify the holes in the burn grate.
• Do not add pellets by hand to the burn grate when the grill is in use.
• Do not use your grill in the rain or around any source of water.
• Do not leave your grill unattended during operation. Close supervision is neces-
sary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not transport your grill while operating or when the grill is hot. Make sure the
re is out and the grill is cool before moving.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
• Exterior surfaces on the grill will be hot when in use and during cool down.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking o parts, or before performing any routine service or mainte-
nance.
• Should a grease re occur, turn the controller to the “o” position and unplug
the unit to stop the fans. Keep the lid closed until the re is out.
• If the Yoder goes out during operation (due to a power surge or power failure) do
not restart the Yoder without removing the cooking grates and heat diuser/drip
plate to check for a pellet overow that may have occured.
• Do not store the grill cover or other ammable items under or near the grill.
• After a period of non-use, the hopper, auger and repot must be inspected for
obstruction.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs, and wear heat resistant
gloves when operating the grill.
• If your grill is stored outside, care should be taken to assure that water does not
enter the pellet hopper. (The use of a grill cover is highly recommended).
• When you are nished cooking, turn the power switch to the “o” position. The
fan will continue to run for 18 minutes or until the temperature inside the cooking
chamber falls below 125° F, whichever occurs rst. During this period the cook-
ing chamber door must remain closed. Failure to do so can cause burn back
in the hopper.
• Longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply
cord or extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance (2 amps).
b) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
table where it can be pulled on by children, tripped over unintentionally, or con-
tact hot surfaces.
• Caution: Risk of Electric Shock. Keep extension cord connection dry
and o the ground. Do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquid.
• Caution: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock,
connect to properly grounded outlets only.
• Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products and are
surface marked with the sux letter “W” and with a tag stating “Suitable for use
with outdoor appliances.”
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appli-
ance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• Always attach plug to appliance rst, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To dis-
connect, turn any control to “o”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manu-
facturer may cause injuries.
• Store product indoors when not in use – out of the reach of children.

Smoker Assembly
Smoker Arrival
Your Yoder Smoker will arrive on a pallet wrapped and held on with bands. 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 hopper lid and remove the grease bucket that
contains the power cord and a spare fuse and set aside. Open the cooking chamber
and remove all of the wrapped components. There will be a front shelf, a side shelf, two
cooking grates, a heat diuser plate, burn grate, and smoke stack.
NOTE: If a second shelf and a bag of pellets were ordered, they will be in the cooking
chamber as well.
Assembly of your new Yoder starts by installing the burn grate inside the rebox. See
FIG 1.

FIREBOX
Install the heat diuser plate and smoke stack next. The smoke stack installs ush to
the inside of the cooking chamber with the long leg pointed straight up. Tighten the
thumb screw securely. See FIG 2.

Place the cooking grates inside the cooking chamber. See FIG 3.
Attach the front and side shelves to the Yoder. See FIG 4.
Use the side shelf to assist in moving the Yoder into positon. It is recommended that
two people move the Yoder due to its size and weight. Once in position, follow the set-
up instructions (Page 17) to prepare your new cooker for use.

Smoker Placement
Yoder smokers/grills should always be a minimum of 12 inches away from any com-
bustible surface (wall, deck, rail, etc.). A heat-protective pad is recommended if the
smoker is on a wooden deck. See FIG 5.
Leveling the Smoker
The smoker must be level, front to back and side to side. Use a level to help you with
this. If the smoker is not level there could be problems with grease running towards the
burn pot which could result in a grease re.
