Southern Pride BBR-79-1 Gas Rotisserie Smoker — Features & Specifications

Gas Wood-Fired Heat

The BBR-79-1 is a gas-fired, wood- and charcoal-burning rotisserie smoker — the smallest pit in the BBR series. A 75,000 BTU electronic pilot gas burner — natural or LP, with a 1/2" NPT gas line connection — lights the fire with push-button convenience and keeps it steady through the cook.

Firebox

The firebox is 10 ga. H.R. steel with a 10 ga. H.R. steel firebox door. It burns wood logs or charcoal — typically 1–2 logs, 4" in diameter and 12–16" long — for authentic wood-fired flavor.

Rotisserie Rack Capacity

The rotisserie carries (4) hanger racks, each holding (2) 8" x 32" food racks — (8) food racks in all at 4-1/2" spacing, for 14 sq ft of cooking surface.

Digital Control & Air Circulation

A digital thermostat manages the pit across a 140° to 325°F range, and one convection fan circulates heat and smoke around the rotating product for even color and yield.

Construction

The inner liner is 14-gauge H.R. steel or 14-gauge stainless steel, and the exterior is 22-gauge polished stainless steel.

Dimensions & Electrical

The unit measures 65-1/2" tall x 75-1/2" wide x 33-3/4" deep including covers; the shell is 51-1/4" tall x 75-1/2" wide x 75-1/2" long. Wiring is 120V AC / 60Hz / single-phase, 15A. The BBR-79-1 is UL and ULC listed.

Southern Pride of Texas employs a structured shipping policy to ensure that customers receive their products in a timely and efficient manner. The shipping methods utilized are tailored to the type and size of the order, optimizing both delivery speed and safety.

For standard orders, Southern Pride of Texas ships exclusively via UPS. This method is chosen for its reliability and efficiency in handling packages. However, for large orders, a selection of specific products may be shipped via palletized freight. This alternative shipping method is designed to accommodate bulk items, ensuring they are transported securely and efficiently.

New smokers are shipped via truck or trailer, with an expected delivery timeframe of approximately one week from the date of order placement. This timeframe allows for the careful handling and transportation of these larger items, ensuring they arrive in optimal condition.

For smoker parts associated with current production smokers, the shipping process is expedited. These parts are generally ready to ship on the same day the order is placed. However, it is important to note that some specific parts may have a lead time of up to five days for production before they can be shipped. This variability is due to the nature of the parts and their availability.

Additionally, manufactured parts such as hangers, carousel wheels, axles, and covers for discontinued model smokers may require a longer lead time of 2-3 weeks before shipment. This extended timeframe accounts for the production processes involved in creating these specialized components, ensuring that they meet the quality standards expected by customers.

In summary, Southern Pride of Texas is committed to providing efficient shipping solutions tailored to the specific needs of its products. By utilizing UPS for standard orders and offering palletized freight for larger shipments, the company ensures that customers receive their orders promptly and in excellent condition. The shipping timelines for new smokers and smoker parts reflect the company's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.
