Whooooo Hoooooo

Santa came this week and delivered one of the new FE Cookshacks. Guess Santa was delivering a Research and Development machine to one of his elves...little ole me.

There have been a lot of questions and hopefully I can post a few pictures of the new arrival.

CS has me doing some tests on the unit and I've already called Stuart about a few things (inside story, right Stuart).

Anyone what a slightly used Genuswine? Big Grin

Yeah, CS has been great to me, they're a lot of really good friends there. Not bad since I started out with a CS that my wife purchased for me and it's turned into all this fun.

GLH: Check out this link for the Genuswine photos:

All, like all of you I was curious about the FE/CS. I've got some photos and I'll post my experience tonight when I have time to load the photos.

Smokin'
Thanks Tom, we have a NBBQA Board meeting around then, if I can figure out how to get there, I certainly will. Having to learn how to used this new fangled smoker thing... Big Grin

The new arrival:

64" tall:



Electronic control:

Smoke/180/250/275/300/325/350/375/400/450
Digital Temp readout



Burns about 1lb of pellets per hour:


Four shelves 17" deep x 23" wide
Also can substitute rib racks


Below the shelves is a drip pan that goes to a drain hole and goes to the removable pan under the bottom of the smoker.

There is a V shaped cover over the burn box

The black item is the burn box that contains the auger from the pellet bin.

Put a pair of briskets on at 250 at 10pm and at 6am checked it and the unit was burning perfectly at 250.
I love Ocala Bill's comment the night he won his first GC.

"like a watchin' a waffle iron,red light/green light and pour another Gentleman Jack -wait 'til the Grand Champion comes home".

'course we had had a few Jack's when these great quotes were uttered.
Wink

Like Bill says,it is cooled/ cleaned/ and back in the trailer while everyone else is recovering from turnins.

Eddy has the lock on his cooker door and goes back to the hotel.

Now that's confidence in your cooker.

Let's just not tell them Texans.

I'd hate to see Trigg get much better. Big Grin Cool
Hmmmmm. That's a big unit, no?

About one thousand dollars? Dang!

Cool

(Hey, Tom, did you see Q-Cracker's bio on the "intro yo' self thread? He's right across the water from you on Merrit Island [When I went to FSU, I knew a girl from that island! 6 feet tall]. "Q" is A shy rocket scientist.")
Quick answers. Go ahead an ask, I'll make sure CS looks at them.

This is the smaller model. I haven't seen the marketing material, so I'm not sure in lbs. how much they say it will do.

Yes there was ash in the bottom, but that was from an extended burn at 400+ early on. I'd say it burned at that amount for 10 hours then overnight for 12+ and that's the total amount of ash. The amount of ash I'm sure is related to the temp you burn at, but you'll have to ask the experts. No problem with ash on the food and the temps I used

There is an igniter that starts the fuel the first 3 min. After then, it's self burning.

This unit is heavy and has been in use and I know it's very stable on those legs. No problem opening the door (although they do intend to add a handle)

Don't know what you mean by programmable, all you get are those dial settings as that's how the unit is made. You can't change them that I'm aware of.
The fly ash has never been even mentioned in those I have been around.

I guess it also depends on whose pellets you are burning.

They seem to burn clean with high volume cooking,also.

There are so many heavy user cooks using them,that someone would have said something.

The legs have never been a problem in the field,although you could have them shortened for a specific need,i.e. trailer height,etc.
