SmokaRoma's BBQ Boss at Pebble Beach

Many thanks to Brian Isaeff, Territory Manager at US Foodservice for his invaluable help in bringing our SmokaRoma BBQ Boss pressure smoker to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance event. The staff at Pebble Beach are excited to test the unique pressure smoker at one of their most exclusive events.

Interest in the BBQ Boss spawned one morning last month, where we found one of the kitchen staff outside manning their outdoor smoker on a balmy Summer day. There was no doubt that the tender, succulent and juicy pork shoulders he was smoking would be outstanding. No, the issue was merely "was this going to be enough?" and "how are we going to make more, if we run out?". At 6-8 hours per batch, there's no opportunity to cook more that day, and what happens on rainy or unpleasant days outside?

Luckily, with Brian's assistance, we planted a seed that seems to have germinated perfectly. Why not use pressure cooking technology to improve product quality, consistency and cook times? When Chef Rod and Pebble Beach realized that he could cook 200-300 lbs of food in the SAME TIME as his other smoker took for 20% of that, it was a no-brainer. The BBQ Boss was immediately dispatched for this event, where we now await the rave reviews.

SmokaRoma's BBQ Boss is an electric pressure smoker that uses 220V, 30A power and is designed for use inside your kitchen without the need for a hood & vent system. It uses timed operation and can also cold smoke your fish, cheese or other items just to add some smoke flavoring. The BBQ Boss pressure smoker will smoke and cook 45 lbs of spare ribs in 90 minutes and will create some of the most moist, tender and delicious meats you've ever tasted.
