The ProQ Excel Elite V4 is the highest specification smoker within the ProQ range with the largest capacity. As well as the many cooking options including hot smoking (cold smoking with the ProQ Cold Smoke Generator), roasting, steaming and bbqing, this latest Excel Elite model features a host of new updates for even better functionality: Thicker charcoal basket construction with added bracket to house the innovative ProQ Flip'nGrate, a grill cage which can be rotated (available separately, see ProQ accessories) Redesigned inspection doors for improved fit and seal New 'cool touch' silicon coated inspection door handles Larger easier to read temperature gauge with enlarged bezel Hanging hooks for the lid bar are now angled at 90 degrees to improve capacity Redesigned threaded leg and grill brackets for quicker leg assembly Thicker vent material for improved seal Cool touch silicon coating on vent tabs In addition, the ProQ has all stainless steel fittings from latches to internal brackets to grill racks. The smoker has the same modular 4 part design as all of the smokers in the ProQ range which can be reconfigured depending on the cooking project at hand. It has a separate base housing a charcoal basket, two stackers or smoking compartments and a domed lid. Remove a stacker to create a one compartment smoker or remove two to create a kettle bbq. Add further stackers (available separately) to increase your cooking capacity. Always popular with the professional bbq crowd, the Excel is equally sought after by the outdoor cooking enthusiast for the back garden. It's the roomiest smoker in the ProQ range with a 50cm diameter and an internal capacity of around 150 litres. This makes this ProQ the smoker of choice for those cooking for many or cooking in a commercial set-up. If you are a pub or restaurant looking for the truly authentic hot smoked bbq taste, then this is the smoker for you and for any chef, professional or amateur, the ProQ gives full reign to your cooking imagination allowing you to use your own wood products, any combination of wood flavours and whole spices as well as marinades and rubs. It's also very eye-catching so has an element of 'theatre' in a pub or restaurant setting.

The large cooking area means you can hot smoke most large cuts of meat and the hanging rack with 5 butchers hook also gives you possibilities for hanging foods, especially sides of fish, to smoke them.If cooking meat cuts, sausages or fish fillets, you can further increase the capacity of your grill area with the Step Up Grill, designed to create a second cooking platform above the existing grill racks, available separately at £19.99 as well as adding a host of other useful accessories available for the ProQ range including the rib rack, chicken rack, stainless steel smoker box and smoker basket.

The Excel Elite has the same signature glossy black porcelain coated finish of the full ProQ range.
