The grills are built to last a lifetime and boast heavy-duty components including a [flattop grill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-burner-griddle) and even large pneumatic wheels for easily shifting them around a space. The oversized cooing area provides all the space required to feed families or even larger gatherings at competitions to make them pro-grade. The Yoder Smokers have two-position lids with stainless steel hinges for enhanced durability along with [adjustable air vents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-smoque-pellet-smoker) to let chefs easily customize how much heat is held inside for cooking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Durability-driven Grills:** Creating grills with heavy-duty components and long-lasting construction opens up opportunities for brands to cater to discerning chefs and outdoor cooking aficionados. - **Pro-grade Outdoor Cooking:** Designing grills with oversized cooking areas and customizable heat control allows brands to tap into the demand for professional-grade outdoor cooking equipment. - **Versatile and Convenient Grills:** Incorporating features like flattop grills and large pneumatic wheels in grills offers convenient and versatile cooking options for both small and large gatherings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Cooking Equipment:** Manufacturers of outdoor cooking equipment can tap into the demand for durable and professional-grade grills that cater to the needs of both chefs and barbecue enthusiasts. - **Barbecue Competition Equipment:** Producers of equipment for barbecue competitions have the opportunity to provide competitors with grills that offer ample cooking space and customizable heat control for better performance in competitions. - **Home Grilling Equipment:** Brands in the home grilling equipment industry can introduce grills with versatile features and durable construction to meet the demands of discerning home chefs and barbecue enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Diversified Outdoor Cooking Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-offset-charcoal-smoker.md) - [High-Heat Searing Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-huntsman-kettle-kamado.md) - [Wood-Fired Griddle Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recteq-smokestone-600.md) - [Premium Wood-Fired Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-woodfired-grill.md) - [Suitcase-Style Portable Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-portable-charcoal-grill-smoker.md) - [Wi-Fi-Connected Premium Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eseries.md) - [High-End Flattop Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-flatrock-grill.md) - [Ultra-Modern Pellet Grill Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grill-company.md) - [Hybrid Outdoor Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asmoke-skylights-wood-pellet.md)
