The Ole Hickory EL-EC smoker is a mid-size rotating-rack commercial pit that brings the brand’s production reliability to kitchens that do not need the largest model. With 15 rotating racks and 37.5 square feet of cooking surface, it hits a practical middle ground, enough capacity for a busy restaurant or catering operation, in a footprint and price step below the flagship EL.
Like every Ole Hickory, the EL-EC is built from heavy-duty 12-gauge steel with fully welded, inspected seams, a tubular frame, a 22-gauge stainless exterior, and mineral-wool insulation rated to 1,200 degrees. A 65,000 BTU burner with electronic ignition runs on propane or natural gas, and a 1/4 HP convection motor with a 10-inch fan circulates heat and smoke for even cooking across all 15 racks at 12″ x 30″. The thermostat spans 100 to 325 degrees with an upper-limit safety switch, and the unit carries the same ETL gas, electric, and sanitation approvals as its larger siblings.
Not every kitchen needs sixty square feet of rack, and the EL-EC is built for exactly that operator: it delivers Ole Hickory’s welded construction, patented convection, and ETL approvals at a capacity that matches a steady, growing business. You get the same hands-off consistency and the same commercial durability, sized and priced to fit. As with all Ole Hickory pits, it is built to order, so contact us for the latest lead time.
