Ask a Question About This Product
The FRN-SMK.K is a charcoal-fired meat smoking oven used in restaurants, butcheries, smokehouses, and hotel kitchens. It processes beef, lamb, poultry, sausages, and cured meats through controlled charcoal combustion. The cabinet design supports batch smoking with even heat and smoke circulation across multiple levels.
Commercial Application
This unit fits into operations where authentic charcoal-smoked flavour is a menu requirement. It handles slow smoking processes for traditional barbecue, charcuterie production, and smoke-cured proteins. The cabinet format allows operators to load multiple racks and smoke in batches rather than continuous rotation.
Used during prep shifts or overnight smoking cycles depending on meat type and desired smoke penetration. The 7.4 kW heating support maintains stable chamber temperature while charcoal generates smoke. Output capacity depends on rack configuration and product density.
Key Operational Advantages
- Charcoal combustion produces natural smoke character not replicated by electric or liquid smoke systems
- Cabinet height of 205 cm accommodates hanging sausages, ribs, and whole poultry vertically
- Multi-level rack system enables batch processing of mixed product types
- Controlled airflow regulates smoke intensity and chamber temperature throughout the cycle
- 194 kg frame weight provides thermal mass for stable smoking environment
- 7.4 kW heating element maintains consistent background temperature during cold-smoke and warm-smoke operations
