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.
Venting
The BBR-79-1 may be fitted with the VSP hood option — the caster legs are replaced with 19" working-height legs, for an overall working height of 70.25" — or installed under a canopy hood. The -SLSE configuration adds an optional smoke extractor with a 10" flue.
