The Ole Hickory EL-IB smoker is an end-loading, rotisserie-style commercial smoker built for barbecue restaurants, caterers, and high-volume vendors who need consistent output shift after shift. With 15 rotating racks, 52.5 square feet of cooking surface, and Ole Hickory’s patented convection system, it turns out evenly cooked, deeply smoked product with the kind of hands-off reliability a working kitchen depends on.

Production-grade smoking, built to last

Construction is heavy-duty 12-gauge steel inside with 100 percent welded and inspected seams, a tubular steel frame, and a 22-gauge stainless exterior, insulated with mineral wool rated to 1,200 degrees. The end-loading rotisserie holds 15 racks at 12″ x 42″ each, and a pair of quarter-horsepower convection motors with 10-inch fan blades circulate heat and smoke together for product consistency from top to bottom. A 65,000 BTU burner with electronic ignition runs on propane or natural gas, with a thermostat range of 100 to 325 degrees, an upper-limit safety switch, and ETL gas, electric, and sanitation approvals.
