Backyard Smoker Grills
Backyard Grills Built for Serious Barbecue
Yoder Smokers Backyard Grills are designed for those who take their outdoor cooking seriously. Built the same heavy-duty craftsmanship as Yoder’s competition-grade pits, these grills offer exceptional control, durability, and flavour. Whether you’re firing up charcoal for a quick weeknight cook or going low and slow for weekend ribs, these grills deliver the performance backyard pitmasters demand with enough style and strength to anchor any patio setup.
The Cheyenne
The Cheyenne moves you beyond simply grilling and into the world of slow smoking and barbecuing. The difference is this; the heat and smoke are drawn through the cooking chamber indirectly. The indirect heat is the secret to producing moist, super tender meat with that rich, smoky flavour. Whether you are feeding you family or a gathering of a dozen people, put the Cheyenne to work for you and be prepared to enjoy Blue Ribbon results.
