Setup #2: Moderate temperature grilling such as wings and boneless chicken breasts (grate temperatures
up to 350° F): Heat with the diff user plate in place and a set of Grill Grates installed on the left side of
the cooker. The “Direct Grilling Kit” consists of three custom-made aluminum panels which replace one
standard cooking grate (See FIG 23).
Option: Two sets of grill grates for extended direct grilling surface.
Setup #3: Direct grilling with searing capability (set temperatures above 400 degrees). Remove the heat
diff user plate, set the variable displacement damper in the full open position (See FIG 27) and install the
Grill Grates on the left side of the cooker. (With the heat diff user/drip plate removed, some users prefer
to line the bottom of the cooker with foil to facilitate cleanup). When setup direct (heat diff user out, one
set of Grill Grates and standard cooking grates installed), the Yoder creates a true direct/indirect cooking
environment.
With a second set of Grill Grates installed on the right side of the Yoder, temperatures are fairly even
across the entire cooking surface; this is true with the diff user in or out.
