Does anybody know of an inexpensive Indoor Commercial smoker? SmokinTex is the least expensive one I can find for about $3000. My fire codes officer says the manufacturer must classify it as both “Commercial” and “indoor” to be used in a restaurant. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
Webstaurantstore shows a few. Not sure exactly what your looking for but the ones I saw are liquid propane or natural gas.
 
Thanks guys. Southern Prides are nice but pricey. A small used one is about $3500. Webstaurant store has some around $2500 but you have to buy the smoking accessories kit for another $1000 if you want racks in it lol, plus the shipping is expensive. I’m still looking tho, anybody else know of any?
 
Try Cookshack - might be above your budget but it meets your specs.
Purchased a SM-160 used some time ago. We are not commercial but the cooker is inside and piped outside. Unit came with the exhaust hood. Works reasonably well removing the smoke. Small fan powering hood can be challenged during high winds to remove the smoke.
Cooker is pretty much set and forget. Satisfied with overall unit.
