Source: yodersmokers.com (verified 2026-07-08) · corroborated by atbbq.com. Re-fetched the Yoder Smokers official product page and authorized dealer atbbq.com via fetch-clean.mjs, both for the exact YS480s model (confirmed on both pages; not a sibling such as the YS640s or YS1500s). Verified verbatim: 800 sq in cooking surface (manufacturer "800 Sq. Inches"; atbbq "800 total sq. in." = 480 primary + 320 upper shelf), 20 lb hopper, 277 lb weight, WiFi + Bluetooth ACS control, stainless steel main cooking grates, and $2,249.00 (manufacturer "STARTING AT $2,249.00 + SHIPPING"; atbbq $2,249.00 standard cart). Construction verified on atbbq: "It features a 10-gauge steel cooking chamber" and "The hopper and cart are constructed from 14-gauge steel"; stainless main grates from the manufacturer's Standard Features list. max_temp_f recorded as 600 per atbbq's explicit "Temperature Range 150° F – 600° F" (and FAQ "operates from 150°F to 600°F"); the manufacturer's 700°F figure is prose that refers only to direct-flame searing, so 600 matches the controller range. pid_controller was NULLED on verification: neither source uses the term "PID" — both describe the ACS only as a microprocessor-based closed-loop adaptive control holding ±5°F accuracy, so a PID classification is an unsupported inference. Neither page states a model release year, so releaseDate and release remain null. 6 of 7 non-null spec values survived (>half), so publish remains true.
