SHIPPING
The unit will be shipped fully assembled. A Model 700E will weigh 4,200
pounds and a Model 1300E will weigh 6,600 pounds. The meat racks will be
packed inside the cooking compartment. If you ordered a smokestack kit, it will
also be packed inside. There will be a grease drain valve packed inside the
firebox, along with the firebox door handle. To move a Model 700E into your
building, you will need a minimum opening of 60 inches in width and 86 inches
in height (60” X 86”). For a Model 1300E, you will need a minimum opening of
72 inches in width and 95 inches in height (72” X 95”). The height
requirements can be reduced by 6 ½” by removing the motors and stack ring on
the top of the unit.
HANDLING
A Model 700E can be handled with a forklift if the lift has a 6,000 pound
capacity. A Model 1300E will require an 8,000 pound lift. The extra capacity
lifts are necessary due to the size of the units. Whenever possible, the unit
should be trucked from the rear. Alternatively, a crane can be used by rigging
onto the four lifting lugs welded onto the top of the unit.
FOUNDATION
It is recommended that the unit be placed on a four to six inch thick concrete
pad as shown on Figures 1 and 3. This pad should be sized to be four inches
larger than the pit in both dimensions (ex: Model 700E pad should be 59 ¾” by
108” or 117” for a rear firebox). This elevates the pit drain valve an additional
four to six inches off the floor and facilitates grease handling. With a pad, the
bottom of the grease drain valve would be nine to eleven inches off your finished
floor versus five inches without a pad. We offer a four or six inch high
structural steel base frame to use in lieu of a concrete pad. Alternatively, you
may use a shallow grease pan, pump the grease to your storage area, or pipe
the grease to an adjacent location where an elevation difference would permit
the use of a deeper pan. Use Figures 2 and 4 to locate the pit in your building
so that the smokestack can be installed vertically with no offsets (avoiding
building structural members). Whether a pad is used or not, the pit should be
installed on a solid, level, non-combustible surface.
DRAIN
There is one drain connection on the pit. This drain is used for draining the
grease and cleaning the cooking chamber. It extends from the side of the pit
near the center and close to the bottom. Install the drain valve onto the
threaded pipe nipple. If possible, a floor drain should be located near this
drain valve as suggested in Figures 1 and 3. This will be of convenience when
the pit is being cleaned.
