VENTING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

OPTION 2: TYPE-1 CANOPY HOOD VENT

All smoker models may be installed under an approved Type-1 canopy hood system rated for commercial

cooking appliances.

 Placement under a common hood shared with other appliances may be prohibited.

 NFPA® 96 specifies a minimum canopy overhang of 6 inches on all sides. Southern Pride recommends a

minimum 18 inch overhang on the product loading door side of the smoker.

 Exhaust fan size must be determined by a ventilation contractor specifically for your application. Hood

dimensions, exhaust duct length and routing all factor into the calculation.

OPTION 3: DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION (THROUGH THE WALL SHOWN)

With the purchase of the optional smoke extractor damper the smoker may be installed inside the building or

through the wall and directly vented outside. The smoke extractor damper, along with a customer supplied

exhaust fan and chimney, evacuates the smoke from the smoker prior to fully opening the product loading

doors. When the doors are opened the smoker extractor damper and exhaust fan are activated to remove the

smoke from the smoker.

 When installing a smoker through a wall constructed of combustible material, use the appropriate South-

ern Pride Through the Wall Insulation Kit between the smoker and the wall.

 The room that the smoker is installed into should have a balanced or slightly positive air pressure. If the

room has negative air pressure smoke could escape from smoker into the room during operation.

 Use of a smoke extractor damper requires the smoker to be a rear flue configuration.
