commercial vs. residential

If you're interested in a business, make sure you drop by the "pros" forum (near the bottom of the first page) they have frequent discussions about starting a business etc.

The main difference is the rating of the smoker. The commercial is NSF rated for restaurant use. It also has the electronic controls (the home use does not). Look at the top of the smoker and you'll see the differences. The NSF is a big difference.

And if you're interested in those, don't hesitate to call CS direct. They've helped more than a few restaurants start and they're full of some good info.

Thanks, Smokin. I've been lurking occasionally and have checked out the Pros board. Tons of good info here. Glad to be aboard.
