•• Capacity is 500 lbs. pork butts, 450 lbs. brisket, 150 lbs. ribs, or 70 chickens per load.
•• 72,000 BTU pellet burner and easy, flip-of-the switch starting brings the FEC500 rapidly up to smoking temperature.
•• The FEC500 recovers its cooking temperature in as quickly as 10 to 15 minutes after the door has been opened because the
burner safely remains on.
•• The FEC500 features a digital Cookshack IQ4 controller. Operator sets the smoke-cooking time and temperature, and the holding temperature. When the smoke-cook cycle has finished, the controller drops automatically to the hold temperature.
•• Electronically-controlled temperature eliminates large heat fluctuations that dry and shrink meat.
•• The FEC’s heat and flavor source is 100% food grade wood pellets. Pellets are easily obtainable, inexpensive, and easy to store;
available in a variety of flavors.
•• Pellet heat is controlled by a fully automatic wood pellet feed system.

is eliminated, unlike log burners that require removal of live coals.

About Pellets
Pellets are easily obtainable throughout the US. Cookshack supplies only
100% wood, food grade barbecue pellets specifically produced for use
with food. Cookshack barbecue pellets are made from hardwoods that
contain fewer resins and are produced in a controlled process to ensure
a food grade product. (Heating pellets, on the other hand, are produced
specifically for heat stoves and do not meet food grade requirements.)
Barbecue pellets are made by pulverizing hardwood sawdust and
extruding to a uniform density through a rotating die under enormous
heat and pressure (400 degrees @ 10,000 PSI). Naturally occurring lignin
in the wood binds the pellets into their shape. The pellets are then cooled
and placed in 20 lb. bags.
