Southern Pride, the industry leader in the commercial smoker world, introduces the new compact SRG-400 gas-fired, wood burning, 400lb-capacity stationary rack smoker that is already enjoying tremendous success in commercial settings.

In addition to taking the guesswork and labor intensity out of the smoking process, the SRG-400 easily fits through a standard 36″ doorway and under a standard depth hood.  The convection air system is designed to provide even temperature, airflow and smoke distribution throughout the cooking chamber.  “The SRG-400 is a result of Southern Pride’s commitment to providing performance enhancing, cost-effective, commercial smoking solutions,” says Bret Robertson, National Sales Manager, Southern Pride Distributing, LLC. 

The SRG-400 produces the same quality results as Southern Pride’s rotisserie smokers, in a much smaller footprint, saving valuable kitchen space.  As with the rotisserie series, the SRG-400 is fully automatic, eliminating the need for constant attention. Simply load the product, add wood to the firebox, select cook time & temperature and press start.  The SRG-400 does the rest, enabling you to consistently deliver mouthwatering barbecue.   “Consistent product is vital to our success,” said Reggie Young, chef/owner of Bad Bob’s Barbeque Restaurants.  “In the past we required two ovens to cook all our ribs, chicken, brisket and butts to our exact quality standards.  Now our SRG-400 cooks everything and runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We get perfect results every time.  The SRG-400 produces the best ribs that I have ever seen.   We sell out regularly and get so many compliments from customers.”

The SRG-400 is a fully functional smoker but may also serve as a roasting oven. In addition to producing great barbecue and signature-smoked items, the SRG-400 provides the ability to produce a variety of roasted products. The SRG-400 provides robust cooking capacities of 42 pork butts, 65 St. Louis ribs, 72 whole chickens, 21 beef briskets or 52 spare ribs without sacrificing valuable kitchen space or product flavor.   Optional features include pass-through (rear door) system, glass display door(s), stainless steel vertical rib racks, additional 18″x26″ nickel chrome flat racks and vertical rib racks increasing capacity to 91 ribs per cook cycle.  The removable rack slide system allows for complete flexibility in spacing of product racks accommodating 27 flat racks measuring 18″x26″ each at the minimum spacing of 1.5″ producing 87.75 square feet of cook surface. Stainless steel construction, single product door, seven nickel chrome flat racks, two inch insulated wall construction and removable rack slides are standard.  With the pass-through system upgrade, the smoker offers the option to load and unload products from either side, keeping the smoker fully loaded, increasing workflow and throughput.

ABOUT SOUTHERN PRIDE

Southern Pride was founded in 1976 when Mike Robertson and his father, B.B., hand built and marketed their first rotisserie and smoker.  Today, some 20,000 rotisseries and smokers later, Southern Pride laser cuts, bends and forms their own stainless steel and assembles every element of the cookers, still by hand in their 117,000 square foot manufacturing headquarters in Alamo, TN.
