SITE INSTRUCTIONS
The Southern Pride smoker must be installed in a location that will permit the smoker to function for its in-
tended purpose and to allow adequate clearance for ventilation, proper cleaning, and maintenance access.
Minimum Clearance Requirement from Combustible Material
Back…...18” (457mm) Firebox Door Side……...24” (610mm)
Top…….18” (457mm) Service Bay Side……….18” (457mm)
Front…...48” (1219mm)
NOTE: If provision is made for service access, service bay side & back
clearance can be reduced to 2” (51mm).
WARNING: Failure to maintain proper safety, storage, handling, and ash removal for solid fuel
appliances on or around combustible materials may result in fire, property damage and/or death.
Our product listing allows for the smoker to be installed on a combustible surface however,
Southern Pride recommends the use of a noncombustible material for the floor surface area under
the fire box, which should extend at least 6” beyond each side of the fire box, and outward from
the smoker beyond the area needed for placement of the ash container.
CAUTION:
The appropriate sized forklift should be used to lift the smoker to adjust the leg height
and the smoker should not be lifted any higher than necessary to perform the adjustment.
During operation the smoker must be level to allow for smooth movement of the rotisserie wheels and
drive system, to limit the movement of product on the product racks and to allow for proper grease
drainage. If adjustment is necessary to level the smoker each of the legs can be adjusted up or down by
loosening the 2 set screws on each leg and adjusting the legs.
THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATIONS
When installing a smoker through a wall made of combustible material an insulation kit must be used. The
insulation board must be installed between the smoker and the combustible material. The following insulation
kits consist of 3 pieces of 1 inch thick, 8 inches wide insulation board that is installed on the top and each side
of the smoker.
The wall cutout should be 2.5 inches wider than the smoker width and 1.25 inches taller than the smoker
height to allow space for the insulation board between the wall and the smoker.
Also available is a stainless steel trim kit that will cover the gap between the smoker and the wall on all four
sides of the smoker. The trim kit is only for one side of the building; two can be used for the interior and exte-
rior of the building.
NOTE: When using a VSP hood system in a through the wall installation, a special insulation and stainless
steel trim kit must be ordered. The special kits are designed with taller side pieces to extend beyond the height
of the smoker to also account for the height of the VSP hood system. Please contact your authorized Southern
Pride distributor for more details.
