Canada's Definitive Commercial Cooking Equipment Buying Guide

Smoker Ovens

moked foods are popular in a variety of cuisines, including

American barbecue, German smoked meats, Chinese smoked

duck, and Tex-Mex. Some restaurants have even employed smokers

for gourmet desserts and cocktails.

Commercial smokers are available in a

variety of sizes, both as freestanding machines and as

accessories to existing ovens.

Smokers may use wood chips, wood pellets, compressed

sawdust, wood chunks, or charcoal as a smoke source, and

cooks will debate which type of wood is superior, whether

hardwood or fruit wood. Some smokers are manual and

must be monitored to guarantee appropriate cooking, while others are advanced “set it and

forget it” models that can cook & hold, and allow for programmable recipes.

Your RED Dealer can ensure you have the appropriate equipment for your menu requirements.

EQUIPMENT

We define Specialty Cooking Equipment as equipment developed for a specific function. The goal may be a

specific culinary technique, like Sous Vide, or a device that cooks authentic recipes from a particular cuisine.

With its diverse population and multicultural influences, Canada offers a vibrant food scene that is a

convergence of ethnic cuisines. Chinese, Italian, Indian, Thai, Mexican, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Greek,

Middle Eastern, Caribbean are only some of the cuisines offered at restaurants across the country. The last

two years in a row, Canada broke historical records for new immigrants in one year (437,000 in 2022, and

approximately 460,000 in 2023), and that trend is expected to continue over the next several years.

The following are the most commonly requested pieces of commercial specialty food equipment.

Restauranteurs are encouraged to contact R.E.D. to be connected with an expert Food Equipment Dealer in

your area that is equipped to meet your needs.
