Description
Convection Air System
The 125,000 BTU (37KW) burner heats the smoker cabinet and ignites the 2-3 fireplace size logs in the firebox to obtain the desired flavor, aroma, and texture. The convection fan draws the smoke from the firebox and circulates the smoke throughout the smoker cooking cabinet. The Subterthermic® front or rear flue increases the smoke flavor of the product, increases the heat efficiency, and reduces the wood usage.
Smoker Interior
The entire smoker interior is stainless steel ensuring easy cleaning and decades of trouble-free use. The smoker comes standard with (4), 5-tier rack hangers that hold a maximum of (20), 18″ x 22″ (457 x 559mm) nickel chrome plated product racks with 3 1/2″ (89mm) spacing.
Manual Digital Control Panel
The standard digital thermostat allows for cook temperature selection between 140° to 325°F (60° to 163°C), and will maintain consistent temperature throughout the cook cycle. The rotisserie can be advanced by pressing and holding the rotisserie advance button, or stepping on the rotisserie foot pedal for hands-free operation.
Smoker Exterior
The smoker exterior is stainless steel ensuring easy cleaning and decades of trouble-free use. The convection fan access door allows the convection fan blade to be accessed from the outside of the smoker for easy cleaning to deliver proper airflow and to prevent the convection fan motor from failing.
