Hello all. I've been a lurker for a while...
Anyway, I'm looking for different commercial grade smokers. I've considered building one, but that just doesn't seem feasible. Going to all my favorite local bbq joints, there seem to be a variety of commercial smokers available -- at least I'm assuming they're commercial units and not high-tech homemade ones. If you know of any companies that make smokers for restaurants, please post here. Thanks. -Scott |

A quick search on yahoo brought more than a few results... www.southern-pride.com www.thegrillstoreandmore.com...they're "commercial smoker/dehydrator" units look to start at about $5400 ea. www.smokergrille.com -they seem to deal in cookshack brand smokers. www.southernbarbecue.com...has links to many commercial grills/smokers available (they define "commercial" as being designed for competition and/or restaurant use). It should be noted that most of the commercial smokers listed are electric. Southern pride also has gas/wood commercial rigs as well. Search engines are amazing things... Bob |

Part of the road trip was to shop for commercial pits for the Q joint he's going to open. In that message (http://makeashorterlink.com/?T42612E56) he mentions Southern Pride and Ole Hickory as being the two best. Another poster gave you a link to Southern Pride's site. Here's a link to Ole Hickory's: http://www.olehickorypits.com/ Perhaps worth noting: Ole Hickory is the one that Dave settled on. That endorsement should be worth something. -- TFM3 Note: Spam-resistant e-mail address |

I look at it once and a while and dream. Then I remember I have two daughters to raise and get through college so I figure I better stick with my real job.

Thanks to all the smart-asses with the "search engines are amazing things"
comments. No doubt. Since this is a bbq list and there seem to be many people here that know their stuff, I was thinking maybe a few people had experience with several venders and knew enough to recommend one over another, the pros and cons, etc... I now realize that the search engine comment guy is not one of those knowledgable folks. Carry on. |

Thanks to all the smart-asses with the "search engines are amazing things" comments. That's a good way to keep getting information from a group. No doubt. Since this is a bbq list No, it is a usenet group. and there seem to be many people here that know their stuff, I was thinking maybe a few people had experience with several venders and knew enough to recommend one over another, the pros and cons, etc... Had you asked this after doing a little research and showing what you found, then that would be great. I now realize that the search engine comment guy is not one of those knowledgable folks. Oh, boo hoo. This is not your personal help desk. People give advice that they think will be useful. Telling you to get off your lazy ass and go look for yourself is GOOD advice. I suggest you get a new attitude, fast. A sincere apology would be a good start in keeping you out of killfiles. Brian Rodenborn |

This individual is a 'regular' on this newsgroup and has offered much information to the group in the past. This was your first post to this group. If you stick around, you will find this to be a very good group of people. Here is a link to the bbq faq. http://www.eaglequest.com/~bbq/faq2/ Read, learn and enjoy. Welcome to the group. Will you to be around in 6 months willing to help others who come here for the first time to learn more about bbq? Happy Q'en, BBQ |

Scott, If you've lurked here for awhile, you must have noticed that it's a fairly tough room and most of the regulars brook no BS. Your initial question drew a few "Google it" replies, and if I were you, I think I'd have replied, "Yeah, I guess I should have done that," instead of your "smart-asses" response. That's what's gotten you hauled over the coals. Here's a suggestion for you. Try saying, "OK, I might have made a mistake. Can we start over?" Do something like that and you'll find most of these guys will fall all over themselves trying to help you out. Keep up with the "smart-ass" remarks and all you'll get is grief. HTH. Jack Curry |

Hello Scott,
It's apparent you are looking for responses from people who have used different smokers. A search only gives you the hype from each company.. I chose a Lang smoker for two very good reasons; first, the well regulated temperature, second, the price. The temperature doesn't vary 5 degrees from one end of my 8 footer to the other. My model #84 sells for under three thousand dollars, with a warming oven over the fire box. Don't know what you had in mind for your restaurant but I wanted pure smoke cooking, no gas or electric. I am more than pleased with the Lang. Good Luck, DW Suiter "Scott Purdie" wrote in message ink.net... Hello all. I've been a lurker for a while...
