The Ole Hickory EL BBQ smoker is one of the brand’s flagship commercial pits, a revolving-rack workhorse built for barbecue joints, caterers, and vendors who move serious volume. With 15 rotating racks and a generous 60 square feet of cooking surface, it offers the most usable space in this class, all driven by Ole Hickory’s patented convection system for consistent results across every rack.

The volume workhorse

The interior is heavy-duty 12-gauge steel with 100 percent welded and inspected seams, wrapped in a 22-gauge stainless exterior and mineral-wool insulation rated to 1,200 degrees. A 65,000 BTU burner with electronic ignition runs on propane or natural gas, while a single 1/4 HP convection motor with a 10-inch fan blends heat and smoke for even cooking. The revolving rotisserie carries 15 racks at 12″ x 36″ for that full 60 square feet, the racks lift out for easy cleaning, and a heavy-duty chain-drive motor keeps them turning shift after shift.

Why buy the Ole Hickory EL BBQ smoker

If you are scaling a barbecue business, the EL is the pit that grows with you: 60 square feet of revolving rack means you can run a lunch rush and prep for catering at the same time without a second cooker. The patented convection keeps the far racks cooking as evenly as the near ones, and the welded 12-gauge build is made for the abuse of a commercial kitchen. Ole Hickory has refined this design since 1974, and it remains a benchmark in production smoking. Each is built to order, so contact us for current lead time.
