The Roller Grill FM 2 is a cold food smoker for fish, meat and delicatessen products. Typical uses include salmon, trout, eel, herring, duck breast, beef fillet, sausages, bacon and ham, giving commercial kitchens scope to create a varied smoked-food menu.

It slowly burns natural sawdust and cools the resulting smoke within the chamber, helping distribute smoke evenly without turning the food crisp. Cold-smoking preparation normally involves salting, drying and smoking, with the food cut or portioned before it enters the appliance.

Use natural oak sawdust for the preferred result; beech is also suitable. Never use sawdust from coniferous trees, treated timber or manufactured board, because those materials are unsuitable for food smoking. Oak sawdust reference GD339 is the matching consumable identifier.

The smoker has a 600 x 400 mm shelf area and a 1/1 GN format. This provides a clearly measured chamber footprint for arranging fish, meat or charcuterie during a smoking cycle without confusing usable shelf area with the appliance's external size.

The FM 2 measures 230 mm high, 715 mm wide and 415 mm deep, and weighs 12 kg. Its silver appliance body has no undershelf, so it should be placed on an appropriate supporting surface with suitable ventilation for smoking operations.

Fit the heating element into the ash pan, place the grid inside and arrange the sawdust in a slight slope with the ventilation holes open. Connect the plug and turn the 9-minute timer to ignite the sawdust, then reduce the draught once an incandescent point develops.

A full ash pan can provide more than three hours of combustion. During operation, adjust the draught to control the smoke flow. If smoke returns through the ash-pan area, the operating guidance calls for a damp cloth around the joints.

Use it outdoors or beneath an effective extraction hood. When it is positioned under a hood, avoid strong draughts that could disturb smoke movement. The appliance uses a plug-in 13A electrical connection, so the chosen position also needs suitable electrical access.

Avoid detergent when cleaning the smoker, allowing the smoking chamber to build its normal seasoned surface.

The Roller Grill FM 2 includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty. The pack quantity is 1 food smoker.
