SOUTHBEND 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.
