Norris Thermal Technologies, an established company of over fifty-five years based in Tippecanoe, Indiana, and the manufacturer of ‘The Tribal Fire Grill’, has designed and are currently manufacturing the food service industry’s FIRST and ONLY patented, high-volume FoodBuy & Sodexo Approved, commercial convection smoking system - The Game Changer. It efficiently hot smokes, cold smokes, dehydrates, and re-therms and has the capability to hold high volumes of food at HAACP-recommended safe temperatures. Its deliberate design offers a natural moisture-retaining system, producing a higher product yield that in turn offers its operators substantial food cost savings, complete control of the cooking process, and undeniable consistency in the final product. Game Changer has successfully redefined what a commercial smoker should do.
The smoker’s sleek, innovative cabinet style designed system efficiently infuses food with the operator’s choice of non-proprietary pure wood smoke pellets through a patented wood pellet smoke generator. It extracts only the pure wood flavor and then releases a high-density smoke with a low ash count. Constructed of heavy-duty food service grade stainless steel, the product’s three energy-efficient cabinet convection fans evenly circulate flavorful smoke throughout the sixty-five square feet cooking surface without generating any hot or cold spots.
The Game Changer Commercial Convection Smoker also offers minimal installation costs. No permanent gas line is needed, nor does it require installation under a fire suppression HVAC system as rated by UL. This completely flameless system is extremely safe and does not require constant attention or firebox maintenance. Its four, heavy duty casters offer its operator freedom of operation as either a guest ‘showpiece’ or a commercial kitchen fixture. The Game Changer also offers an easy to operate touchscreen and is internet enabled.
Game Changer capabilities are limited only to the creativity of its chef. Easy product loading and unloading is accomplished on a mobile ‘speed rack’ that holds twenty perforated full sheet pans. Our ever-growing clientele range from BBQ Pitmasters to Four-Star Certified Executive Chefs, who are finding innovative, healthy, and creative ways of using the Game Changer for creating cutting edge menu options by infusing food with pure wood smoke flavor without the use of additional flavorings, seasonings, or ovens.
The Game Changer has a custom-built demonstration trailer complete with a Game Changer Commercial Convection Smoker and a state-of-the-art display kitchen complete with a demonstration stage. It is available as additional support for our clienteles use to elevate their next event to an impressive level.
