DESCRIPTION

FWE LCH-SK-G2 Series Cook & Hold Smoker Ovens

The FWE LCH-SK-G2 Series Cook & Hold Smoker Ovens are designed to cook, smoke, reheat, and hold foods while maximizing yield, enhancing flavor, and reducing labor requirements. Engineered for restaurants, catering operations, healthcare facilities, and institutional kitchens, this solution combines advanced cook-and-hold technology with integrated smoking capability to deliver premium food quality and operational efficiency.

Product Overview

Built for demanding foodservice environments, the LCH-SK-G2 Series utilizes FWE's proven R85/F15 heat system, combining radiant heat and low-volume convection to reduce product shrinkage while promoting natural browning. The integrated smoker system allows operators to add authentic smoke flavor without separate smoking equipment, while programmable controls automate cooking and holding for consistent results.

Key Features & Benefits

Integrated Smoking System - Independently controlled 300-watt smoker element provides up to 4 hours of smoking using wood chips for authentic flavor enhancement.
R85/F15 Heat Technology - Delivers approximately 85% radiant heat and 15% forced-air convection for natural browning and minimal product shrinkage.
Cook & Hold Automation - Automatically transitions from cooking mode to holding mode when cooking is complete.
Programmable Controls - Stores up to 8 recipe presets for repeatable and consistent food preparation.
Internal Product Probe - Supports cooking by time or internal temperature for precise control and food safety.
Independent Smoke Control - Smoke element can operate separately, supporting both cold-smoking applications and smoking while cooking.
Dual Compartment Flexibility - Select models feature independently controlled compartments for cooking different menu items simultaneously.
Advanced Drip Management System - Tangential drain-off and removable stainless steel filter separate grease and solids for safer cleanup.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
UL EPH - UL EPH recognizes products certified to meet environmental and public health standards. The UL EPH logo shows the word "Classified" above the UL mark, which indicates that the product complies with ANSI/NSF standards, in addition to other applicable codes.
CUL - C-UL mark indicates a product meets the CSA testing standards for Canada.
C-UL-US mark indicates a product meets the UL and CSA testing standards for both the United States and Canada.
CE - The CE mark is mandatory for products sold in the European Economic Area. It indicates the product conforms with certain manufacturing and design safety requirements. CE is similar to UL except it's more of a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets the relevant rules, rather than being the mark of independent testing.
UL - The UL mark, which now serves customers in more than 100 countries, has become the authority on product safety. Its engineers test for things like soundness of design, safety of electrical components, and structural integrity of products for which UL listing is sought.
If you think of NSF International classification as protection for your customers, then the mark of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) indicates safety for those who work in your commercial kitchen. The Illinois-based testing agency assures that the equipment that gets its stamp operates safely. There is also a sanitation classification that offers similar assurances about food safety as the NSF mark. Products are indicated as "Classified UL-EPH."
