WARNING:
If the forklift forks are not long enough to support the entire smoker/crate do not attempt to move the smoker; obtain another forklift or use fork extensions.
DELIVERY LOCATION
Commercial smokers are large and heavy. Before scheduling the delivery of your smoker have a plan and location in place to accept the delivery of the smoker and maneuver the smoker into the desired installation location. The trucker will require a flat, level surface that is safe from traffic to unload the smoker. A forklift will be required to unload the smoker and install the permanent legs on the smoker. The trucker is only responsible for delivery of the smoker. It is your responsibility to unpack the smoker, move it to its installation location, and install the smoker.
WARNING:
Only proper heavy lifting machinery and heavy lifting equipment should be used for unloading, moving and installing the smoker. This duty should only be performed by professionals trained in this kind of work. Improper handling of the equipment could result in damaging the smoker or personal injury and even death.

SITE INSTRUCTIONS
The Southern Pride smoker must be installed in a location that will permit the smoker to function for its intended purpose and to allow adequate clearance for ventilation, proper cleaning, and maintenance access.
Minimum Clearance Requirement from Combustible Material
Back…...18” (457mm) |
Firebox Door Side……...24” (610mm) |
Top…….18” (457mm) |
Service Bay Side……….18” (457mm) |
Front…...48” (1219mm) |
|
NOTE: If provision is made for service access, service bay side & back clearance can be reduced to 2” (51mm).
WARNING: Failure to maintain proper safety, storage, handling, and ash removal for solid fuel appliances on or around combustible materials may result in fire, property damage and/or death. Our product listing allows for the smoker to be installed on a combustible surface however, Southern Pride recommends the use of a noncombustible material for the floor surface area under the fire box, which should extend at least 6” beyond each side of the fire box, and outward from the smoker beyond the area needed for placement of the ash container.
During operation the smoker must be level to allow for smooth movement of the rotisserie wheels and drive system, to limit the movement of product on the product racks and to allow for proper grease drainage. If adjustment is necessary to level the smoker each of the legs can be adjusted up or down by loosening the 2 set screws on each leg and adjusting the legs.
CAUTION:
The appropriate sized forklift should be used to lift the smoker to adjust the leg height and the smoker should not be lifted any higher than necessary to perform the adjustment.
THROUGH THE WALL INSTALLATIONS
When installing a smoker through a wall made of combustible material an insulation kit must be used. The insulation board must be installed between the smoker and the combustible material. The following insulation
kits consist of 3 pieces of 1 inch thick, 8 inches wide insulation board that is installed on the top and each side |

The wall cutout should be 2.5 inches wider than the smoker width and 1.25 inches taller than the smoker height to allow space for the insulation board between the wall and the smoker.
Also available is a stainless steel trim kit that will cover the gap between the smoker and the wall on all four sides of the smoker. The trim kit is only for one side of the building; two can be used for the interior and exterior of the building.
NOTE: When using a VSP hood system in a through the wall installation, a special insulation and stainless steel trim kit must be ordered. The special kits are designed with taller side pieces to extend beyond the height of the smoker to also account for the height of the VSP hood system. Please contact your authorized Southern Pride distributor for more details.

GAS PIPING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTES TO THE INSTALLER
Read all instructions contained in this Owner’s Manual before making gas connections.
Ensure all packing material is removed from the smoker compartments before connecting the gas supply to the smoker.
Be sure your smoker is installed and grounded properly by a qualified service technician.Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
WARNING: IMPROPER GAS HOOKUP WILL VOID WARRANTY AND COULD RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
1.All local and national codes and ordinances must be observed. Installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA-54, latest edition available from The American Gas Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209.
2.The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This smoker uses a 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
3.Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer, natural gas requires a minimum of 4.5” W.C.P. and LP gas requires a minimum of 10.0” W.C.P. Incoming line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1” W.C.P. higher than the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator. The regulator used on this smoker can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2” PSI (14.0” W.C.P.). Over pressuring the valve may cause damage to the valve. If the line pressure is in excess of that amount, a step down regulator will be required.
4.It is recommended new pipe be used and located so that a minimum amount of work will be required in future servicing. The piping should be so installed as to be durable, substantial, and gas tight. It should be free from cutting burrs and defects in structure and threading. Cast iron fittings or aluminum tubing should not be used for the main gas circuit. Joint compounds (pipe dope) should be used sparingly on male threads only and be approved for all gases.
NOTE: The building structure should not be weakened by installation of the gas piping. The piping should not be supported by other piping, but should be firmly supported by pipe hooks, straps, bands, or hangers. Butt or lap welded pipe should not be bent.
5.TEST PIPING FOR LEAKS. Before turning gas under pressure into piping, all openings from which gas can escape must be closed. Immediately after turning on gas, the system should be checked for leaks. This can be done by watching the 1/2 cubic foot test dial for 5 minutes to show any movement, or by soaping each pipe connection and watching for bubbles. If a leak is found, make the necessary repairs and repeat the above test.
NOTE: Defective pipes or fittings should be replaced and not repaired. Never use a flame or fire of any form to locate gas leaks, use a soap solution.
6.After the piping and meter have been checked completely, PURGE THE SYSTEM OF AIR. DO NOT bleed the air inside the smoker. Be sure to relight all the gas pilots on other appliances.
NOTE: The burner and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing in excess of 1/2 psig.
