Southbend OVEN/SMOKER

ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT

Oven / Smoker

Southbend utilizes separate controls in conjunction with the desired air movement to supply the desired level of heat and moisture. When using both heat and moisture the temperature of the unit's atmosphere results from a combination of the heat and moisture sources.

Because of the separate controls it is possible to have a number of different conditions:

•	Heat, moisture, natural air	•	Heat, moisture, fan
•	Heat, no moisture, natural air	•	Heat, no moisture, fan
•	Moisture, no heat, natural air	•	Moisture, no heat, fan

By providing separate controls it is possible to obtain any of the above conditions. In addition to the above conditions, based on normal heat and moisture conditions, the use of a STEAM or SMOKE option offers other variations.

The Southbend SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES Smokers are electrically powered and generally do require exhaust hoods. However, the ultimate decision as to hood requirements rests with your local authorities. The SB-5-ES stands 41" high (45" if installed with the 4" Appliance Legs) while the SB-10-ES stands 78" high (including the Casters). Each unit is 32½" deep, 23¾" wide and takes up less than 5½ square feet of your valuable floor space.

The Southbend SB-5-ES and SB-10-ES are equipped with a positioned air flow system. This system allows the heated air and/or smoke to circulate completely and evenly around the interior of the SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES for a uniform and consistent product without having to turn pans. All processed product can be unloaded at the same time, allowing you to concentrate on things of more importance without having to remember if and when to turn pans in your smoker.

The SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES can be used to cook, steam or smoke the following products:

•	Meats	•	Fish
•	Potatoes	•	Fowl
•	Bacon	•	Vegetables
All units in this series are designed for the following:
•	Automatic pan positioning	•	Dependability
•	Rapid, even processing	•	Low energy consumption
•	Easy cleaning	•	Low maintenance
•	Simple operation	•	Rapid servicing

The Southbend SB-5-ES has a capacity of up to six (6) full-sized 18" x 26" sheet pans. The SB- 10-ES has a capacity of thirteen (13) 18" x 26" full-size pans. These pans are supported by chromed Side Racks to provide a 3½" vertical spacing between pans. Smoke is generated in the Smoke Box attached to the back wall of the Oven interior, or in the optional side-mounted External Smoke Box.

Supplemental moisture can be added through the AUTOMIST Humidity System. The AUTOMIST system adds moisture by injecting a water mist into the Blower Wheel for circulation throughout the Oven cavity. This water injection is controlled by a Repeat Cycle Timer with a fixed "OFF" time and a variable "ON" time. The "ON" time is adjusted by setting the Humidity Control on the front of the unit. A higher setting on the Control allows for a longer water spray in the Oven, resulting in higher moisture levels.
