Fast Eddy’s by Cookshack FEC100 is the smoker that competition teams dream about when they are sleeping in a tent next to their smoker so they can get up at 3 a.m. and shovel in more coal. It is the smallest in the Fast Eddy line.
With the digital controller, FEC users can preset the cooking time and temp, the holding temp for when it is done cooking, and let the smoker do the rest. With a meat probe users can cook to the desired meat temperature, and then the smoker automatically drops to the holding temp. The FEC100 can be powered by an automobile cigarette lighter socket and it can also be run off a deep cell marine battery using an inverter. They are so good that, in 2004, a team from England used one to defeat the best American teams at the Jack Daniel’s World Championship International Barbecue. England!
