Town’s smokehouses blend Asian and western techniques to produce juicy, lean barbecue and smoked products. Smokehouses handle a wide variety of applications: smoked fish, meat, sausage, cheese, and jerky plus barbecue. Using optional barbecue utensils, fowl and suckling pig can be hung and barbecued. Fish or roasts can be placed on optional racks. Use the woodchip box (sold separately) to “cold smoke.” Smokehouses barbecue quickly while producing a “cold smoke” flavor. Available in exterior finishes of 304 stainless steel (SS models) or galvanized steel (STD models). A double wall insulated body, durable cast iron door latches, and a stainless steel drip shelf above that protects the control system all help to ensure a long lasting and durable product. Comes standard with pilot safety system, and a solid brass gas valve with stay cool metal handle. A pressure regulator and stainless steel water pan is supplied. Mounted on tubular stainless steel legs with adjustable feet.

Town’s 40 year old design combines traditional Asian smoking and roasting with some Western cooking styles. Smoke or roast virtually any product using a vast array of hanging and rack accessories.
All that’s needed is a gas connection and nearby water source. Town’s field proven design is simple to install and operate. Turn the gas valve on, light the pilot, and adjust the thermostat. Comes standard with a safety pilot system that prevents gas buildup in the event of pilot light blow out.
Tube burners deliver 45,000-75,000 BTU of power, depending on the model size. Its double wall insulated body keeps heat contained while its aluminized steel interior reflects heat instead of absorbing it. Incorporates an analog thermostat for easy temperature control between 175 and 550° F.
.
Town’s unique water pan design creates an optimal cooking environment. The dual purpose water pan must be filled at all times to catch fat drippings to prevent grease fires and creates an optimally moist cooking environment, preventing shrinkage.
Strategically placed interior drip shields vaporize grease drippings creating smoke and enhancing flavor. Excess grease is funneled into the drip pan to prevent grease fires. Enhance smoking capabilities with the optional wood chip box, for wood smoking between 30-60 minutes of smoking time (depending on the model size).
Heavy duty dual door latches compress a durable metal spring seal around the perimeter of the door that never needs to be replaced. The shielded and protected burners are less prone to clogging.
Durable aluminized interior reflects heat instead of absorbing it. A double wall fiberglass insulated body, durable cast iron door latches, and a stainless steel drip shelf that protects the control system all help to ensure a long lasting and durable product.
