Efficiency improvement is a top reason why smokehouse technology keeps progressing. Processors have a limited amount of time to get the job done, and they must ensure that they have maxed out their potential while still producing the quality products their consumers want.
For those very reasons, Thrushwood Farms Quality Meats Inc., Galesburg, Ill., recently purchased three three-truck smokehouses with increasing efficiency top-of-mind. Thrushwood Farms put a high priority on the microprocessor that runs the house and how that processor will make the house more efficient.
