Southern Pride SPK-1000 Gas Rotisserie Smoker — Features & Specifications

Convection Gas Heat

The SPK-1000 is a gas-fired, wood-burning rotisserie smoker built around a low-velocity convection air system. A 150,000 BTU (44KW) burner runs on natural or LP gas through a 1/2" NPT inlet and fires the wood in the firebox, while a low-velocity fan with a 10" (254mm) fan blade circulates heat and smoke evenly around the rotating racks for consistent color and yield across a full load. A front or rear flue keeps smoke and heat in the cabinet longer for deeper flavor and better heat efficiency. Natural gas supply pressure is 4.5"–10.0" W.C.; LP supply pressure is 11.0"–13.0" W.C. A spare fan blade is included.

Rotisserie Capacity & Racks

The smoker comes standard with (4) 3-tier rack hangers at 4-1/2" (114mm) spacing holding (12) 18" x 42" (457 x 1067mm) nickel-chrome plated product racks — 63 ft² (5.85 m²) of cooking surface. The rotisserie advances with a push-button on the control panel or a hands-free pneumatic foot pedal. An optional rack hanger system upgrades to (4) 4-tier hangers at 3-1/4" (83mm) spacing with (16) 18" x 42" (457 x 1067mm) racks.

Digital Control & Rotisserie

A digital thermostat is standard, holding cook temperature from 140° to 325°F (60° to 163°C). Operation is managed with an on/off switch, a rotisserie advance button, and a pneumatic rotisserie advance foot pedal for hands-free indexing. A programmable digital cook-and-hold thermostat is available as an option.

Stainless Build & Footprint

Interior and exterior are full stainless steel over a mineral-wool insulated cabinet for easy cleaning and years of heavy commercial service. The unit stands on adjustable 16-1/4" (413mm) steel pipe legs (standard leg locations 47-3/8"w x 83-3/4"d center to center / 1203 x 2127mm) and includes an interior light and a 2" (51mm) grease drain with ball valve. Exterior dimensions are 38"w x 52-1/2"d x 81-1/2"h (964 x 1334 x 2070mm). Wiring is 120V AC / 60Hz / single-phase, 15A (NEMA 5-15P plug).
