The top of the range ProQ smoker, the Excel, just got better with a improved porcelain coated finish. This will give the unit increased robustness and in conjunction with the thicker gauge steel will have added heat retention properties. All of the other great features are as before.

The ProQ Excel food smoker is not only the largest smoker within the ProQ range but also has the most advanced features. If its increased cooking space were not enough - the 50cm diameter and 120cm height (versus the Frontier's 43cm diameter and 102cm height) provides a generous 65lb food capacity -  its many new design features will convince you that this is the superior home food smoker available on the market today. It's design is the culmination of the many year's of food smoking expertise of it's Cornish/Zimbabwean inventor who has packed this new, larger unit with features such as foldaway side handles, a trio of vents in the base for increased temperature control and temperature probe eyelets fitted at each cooking level. So, now you can monitor your food's internal cooking progress from the outside with use of a digital temperature probe.

The unit's impressive capacity of 65lbs may be difficult to visualise until you realise it can accommodate around 8 whole chickens and it it has both the height and diameter to house any large joint of meat or whole bird. It's also been known to smoke a whole suckling pig. With a fish and meat hanger fitted to the lid, there is ample scope to vertically smoke whole fish, eels and other joints of meat. Vertical smoking is often favoured for its more even results, although in these units, food will smoke well also placed directly on the food grills. As with any of the ProQ smokers, you can further increase the surface cooking area with the use of rib racks or chicken racks which will hold cuts or whole chickens vertically.

The standard ProQ Excel kit includes a separate base which houses the charcoal basket, two large food smoking compartments and the domed lid. All stack together and can be locked together for increased stability and portability. At 26kg it's a meaty piece of kit, but still manageable and moveable, at least once it's cooled down!  As with all of the other ProQ models, you can increase or decrease the capacity of your smoker by adding or removing the stacker or food smoking compartments. Additional stackers are available separately and this would immediately add at least a further 30lbs of cooking space.

Another major advantage is that the ProQ Excel comes virtually fully assembled with handles, including the top heat-proof handle, and all side clasps already in place. The only self-assembly required is to fix the three metal feet to the base, but this is just a case of screwing in a couple of nut and bolt sets for each so no specialist technical knowledge required!

A hot smoking unit such as the ProQ Excel is the ultimate in versatility and offers multiple cooking methods, from steaming to roasting and grilling and - by removing both stackers - it converts to a sizeable portable barbecue. It really can be the answer to all of your outdoor cooking needs.
