ROTISSERIE DESIGN
A3.1 – Elevation & Isometric
This custom rotisserie oven features a robust aluminum enclosure designed for high-heat cooking and easy maintenance. A tempered glass viewing window spans the front, allowing patrons to watch the cooking process. The spinning mechanism utilizes a gear-driven rod assembly powered by a heavy-duty electric motor, ensuring uniform rotation of the skewers for consistent roasting.
Heat is generated by a direct gas-fired combustion system, equipped with adjustable burners to regulate cooking temperature. Grease-laden vapors and smoke are captured by a dedicated Type I hood installed above the oven, per the requirements of the 2022 California Mechanical Code (CMC) and NFPA 96. The exhaust duct extends vertically through the building’s interior to the rooftop, maintaining proper clearances and termination above the roofline in accordance with the 2022 California Building Code (CBC) and local San Francisco regulations. The system includes accessible cleanouts and a fire suppression setup for safe operation.
