    Fast Eddy Cookshacks (FEC 120 / 240)

    Hi Folks,

    Anyone have real world experience of working with these units? Would really appreciate your views on their capabilities and quality. Big decisions to be made and welcome some input from you.

      I did a event with a bud cooking on a 120
      Good pellet machine
      Cook Shack builds quantity units
      Easy to train folks to cook on them

      What setting would you be using the cooker in?

        A commercial one, using two as the core of my smokehouse operation alongside a wood grill for finishing ribs etc.

      I still have my first FEC100 with the Traeger controller and no ramp! I've had about 6 of them, but I've always liked my first. I don't have hands on experience with the 120 or 240.

      Cookshack makes great cookers, primarily restaurant cookers. They sip, not gulp, pellets for heat. The 120 has a convection fan which equalizes the temp in the entire cooking chamber again pellets burn for a long time.

      Looking at pricing, you could get 2 FEC100s for the price of one 240. Even though they consider FEC100 a residential smoker, I know of several restaurants that use them. Personally, I'd like the flexibility of 2 units rather than one really large one. It all depends on your application.

        Thanks! it's for restaurant cooking, plan is to have two for flexability, a 120 and a 240, I've designed the kitchen space with capacity for a third in the happy scenario we do really well. They are big units but we have aveat in, takeaway and delivery model so need decent capacity.

      The Cook Shack line is a fine choice
      You can train ppl to use it
      They don't have to be "pit masters" just reliable help

        Ditto on what Thom says! Beware chicken fat though -- always clean after doing a chicken run.

      Amen on the flying amber on the fat soaked floor
      when I was using a FEC 100 I got to the point that we pan cooked everything
