attention and have hot and cold spots and huge temperature fluctuations... these are all detrimental
to good barbecue and will not help you win your next barbecue competition or impress you friends and family in your backyard.
The Cookshack Fast Eddy FEC100 is the
smoker that has been helping teams bring home the Grand Championships with its ease of use and consistent results. It has also found a home in the best outdoor kitchens. And it can be found in the line in restaurants across the country.
Whether you smoke in your backyard, at cook-offs, or in a professional kitchen, the FEC100 can turn out great 'que for you.
Fast Eddy's by Cookshack 100% wood-burning smoker oven for caterers, competition cooks
and serious backyard bbq'ers. The FEC100 has won dozens of competitions for its inventor Ed "Fast Eddy" Maurin and a host of other well-known professional competition cooks.
Two of the last 3 years' winners of the
prestigious Jack Daniels Invitational Grand Championship, won on the FEC100: CancerSucksChicago.com and the UK's Mad Cows and the 2005 winner of the rib category at the Jack, I Smell Smoke from Salem, MA used an FEC100.
Hot Knots Barbecue Team, the 2007 Grand Champion (and ribs category first place winner) of the Houston Livestock World's Championship cooked on an FEC100 "straight out of the box." The FEC100 delivers
flavor and ease of use without a big fuss. NSF approved.
The Fast Eddy's by Cookshack FEC100 smoker is a 100% wood-burning, pellet-fired smoker with a
Cookshack IQ4 electronic control system. The FEC100 is used by all types of barbecue operations. It meets requirements for all known barbecue competition sanctioning bodies. It is NSF approved and UL listed in the United States.
FEC100 Features:Operation:
- Fast start up, continuous even heat, and precise temperature control give y
ou consistently delicious barbecue. There is no gas
flavor aftertaste to overcome.
- Cookshack's proprietary IQ4 electronic time and temperature controller is easy to use, and gives you consistent results with every load. Its cook and hold feature is standard on all Cookshack and FEC models.When the
smoke-cook cycle has finished the controller drops automatically to the hold temperature.
- The FEC100's optional meat probe allows user to specify a smoke-cook temperature. When the temperature is reached, the smoker automatically drops into a hold cycle.
- Thermostatically-controlled temperature eliminates large heat fluctuations that dry and shrink meat.Patented automatic wood pellet stoker-fed system is operated by the IQ4 controller. It knows when the smoker needs more
fuel; you can go away and leave it to do its job without your attention.
- Easy, flip-of-the switch starting brings the FEC rapidly up to smoking temperature. Burners stay on when doors are opened; heat recovery occurs in as little as 10 minutes. Some other smokers take up to an hour to bring
the temperature back up. This affects the quality of the meat and lengthens the cooking cycle.
- The FEC100 runs at 5 amps @ 120 VAC, which means pennies per hour operating cost.
- Flip a switch auto-start, no tending a fire … cooks overnight with no attention needed.
- Consistent flavor results! With the FEC's precisely regulated patented wood delivery system there is no chance of an employee adding more wood and changing the flavor of the meat.
- Because the FEC100 is 100% wood burning, for both its heat source and flavor source, results are consistent. In gas stickburners, the wood logs get smaller as they burn, and as new product is added, wood must be added as well. Since
product is cooking while new wood is added, flavor is affected.
- Racks are removable and can be power washed for quick clean up. The shelves are easy to remove for cleaning.
- No professional set up required … just roll it in place and get started!
- NSF approved, UL listed
Pellet Heat:
- Pellet heat is controlled by a fully automatic wood pellet system.
- With continuous use, the FEC100 produces about 8 oz. of ash per 40 lbs. of pellets used. Danger of a fire from removing hot ash and embers is eliminated, unlike log burners that require removal of live coals.
- Pellets are easily obtainable, inexpensive, and easy to store; available in a variety of flavors.
- Pellets are 100% food grade wood; no binders or additives. The pure wood smoke flavor cannot be beat.
- Unlike natural gas and propane, which are fossil fuels, pellets are a renewable resource. Fossil fuel prices are going out of sight; now is a good time to free yourself from depending on gas. Give yourself an "Atta boy" for going green.
- Pellets produce only 10 oz. ash per 60 hours of smoker use. No more hauling big buckets of hot ash and burning wood coals to the dumpster. In fact, you can empty ash with a saucepan rather than a trash can.
- Pellets produce a clean burn for a better smoke flavor, and they are more likely to pass emission standards requirements.
- Pellets produce low creosote build up so that the smoker walls require less frequent cleaning.
- Loading pellets into the FEC's hopper is easy – just pour them in right from the bag.
- Storing clean plastic bags of pellets is far more desirable than a dirty woodpile on the premises!
- We have had former stickburner customers report that their health inspectors told them that they had to spray their big
woodpile to rid it of bugs, but they could not use the wood for smoking as it had been sprayed! No hassles like this with an FEC!
Construction:
- The FEC100's rugged 16-gauge stainless steel interior is a stronger, higher grade of steel than the black carbon steel used in many other brands of smokers. Exterior is 20-gauge stainless steel (USDA approved).
- This tough smoker is built on a tubular steel perimeter which will not warp or bend, even if the smoker is moved by a fork lift.
This is one sturdy piece of equipment! Some other brands make a cheaper smoker, but no one makes a stronger one.
- We use Spin-Glas Board ® insulation, for superior heat retention and fuel savings, between the double layers of the
FEC100's body. Your energy costs stay down because the smoker is not constantly re-heating due to heat loss. The smoker is dependable in all climate conditions.
- All seams are sealed so that no moisture can leak into the insulation … no fire danger (Unlike some other brands, we do not
use mineral wool insulation because it deteriorates over time and it can absorb moisture if seams are merely riveted and not sealed. Grease-soaked insulation can be a fire hazard.)
