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

Wood & Charcoal Gas Heat

The XLR-1000 is a gas-fired, wood/charcoal-burning rotisserie smoker from the Southern Pride XLR series. A 150,000 BTU gas burner with electronic pilot runs on natural or LP gas through a 1/2" NPT gas inlet and ignites the fuel in a 14" diameter, 1/4" thick hot-rolled steel pipe firebox fitted with a 1/4" thick firebox door. The firebox burns 3–4 wood logs (4–6" diameter, 12–16" long) or charcoal, while a low-velocity convection fan circulates heat and smoke evenly around the rotating racks for consistent color and yield across a full load.

Rotisserie Capacity & Racks

The smoker uses (4) hanger racks, each holding (3) 18" x 42" food racks — 12 product racks total at 4-11/16" spacing — for 63 sq ft of cooking surface. The rotating rack-hanger system carries product past the burner for even smoke exposure.

Digital Control

A digital thermostat holds cook temperature across a 140° to 325°F range for repeatable low-and-slow results throughout the cook cycle.

Stainless Build & Footprint

The inner liner is 12-gauge hot-rolled steel or optional 12-gauge stainless steel, and the exterior is 22-gauge polished stainless steel for easy cleaning and years of heavy commercial service. Including covers and standing on 15" legs, the unit measures 76"h x 69"w x 87-3/8"d overall, with a shell measuring 61"h x 55-1/4"w x 79-3/8"long. Shipping weight is 2,420 lbs. Wiring is 120V AC / 60Hz / single-phase, 15A. The XLR-1000 is UL and ULC approved.

Ventilation

The XLR-1000 is ready for a VSP eyebrow ventilation hood system or for through-the-wall, direct-vent installation using a smoke extractor damper with a 10" chimney adapter.
