GRAVITY FEED
HORIZONTAL PLATINUM SERIES
Stumps Smokers
also offers The Platinum Series line. These horizontal Gravity Feed versions
work behind the same principal of the Vertical Series only on a grander scale.
These models will be found predominantly on a Stumps Custom Trailer.
Just like Vertical GF models, you get consistent, long cook times with an
average of an hour per pound of charcoal at 225 degrees. The difference between
the two series is that the Platinum Series is a horizontal cooker designed
for larger quantities and larger pieces of meat.
The Platinum Series features
a Gravity Feed System incased in a completely insulated box at the rear of
the unit. This makes it efficient and easy to refuel. Like Vertical GF models,
to refuel you just open the chute door and add more charcoal.
The smoker door comes with a tadpole gasket, hydraulic lift assist, and a
Tel-Tru thermometer. The interior is made of 3/16 and 1/4" metal
that is designed to make it easier to put meat on and take it off. The Platinum
Series utilizes a reverse flow system that consists of a valleyed diffuser
plate. The diffuser plate runs the length of the interior cavity to direct
the heat to the opposite end of the smoker from the firebox. This enables
the heat and smoke to be drawn back to the exhaust stack (which is on the
firebox side of the cooker) to create a type of convection cooking in the
smoker. The valley in the diffuser plate allows the grease to exit in an efficient
manner.
Each unit also comes
with a BBQ Guru Pit Minder that is mounted in the ball valve to control the
heat electronically.
The Platinum Series is
offered in several custom colors. Call for details.
