Fast start up, continuous even heat, and precise temperature control give you 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.
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.)
