Master the Art of Smoked Cooking with the SC-300

So, you’ve mastered the art of French cooking (Thanks Julia Child!). Now you’ve got your sights set on mastering something hotter and smokier.

But can home cooks really purchase a restaurant-grade smoker? Short answer: yes! Although Kendale sells primarily to restaurants, food trucks and more, our Southern Pride Smokers® will be right at home in your (outdoor) kitchen. And while you could purchase any smoker that you like, we believe that Southern Pride®’s SC-300 is an ideal choice for the home chef.

What Makes and Electric Smoker a Great Option for Home Cooks?

Depending on the size of your space and set up, home chefs can purchase either an electric or a gas smoker: the choice is up to you. However, Southern Pride®’s SC-300 model boasts the following features that are perfect for both restaurants and homes alike:

• Low Profile Dimensions: The Sc-300’s exterior measures approximately 24 3/4"w x 32 1/2"d x 61 1/4"h, which means that it can be incorporated comfortably into your space. Remember
• No gas required: No gas, no problem. Installing a gas line can be tedious and time consuming: the electric SC-300 can be installed using existing electricity supplies, making it a more flexible option for non-industrial spaces.
• Chip-chip, hooray! This electric smoker operates using a dual woodchip box that will evenly distribute smoke to your meats. That means no fussing with big logs! If you’re unsure of where to buy your woodchips, or what kind of woodchips to buy, contact us today to learn more about what type of wood to use for your Southern Pride® smoker.
• Temperature-controlled heat for perfect results: Even the best home cooks need some assistance. The SC-300 uses a digital thermostat that enables you to set your temperature and cooking time for consistent and flavorful cooking.
