New FEC 750

You SHOULD be excited. Congrats!!!

Where are you picking it up? Ponca (you should call me)

With 3 burner pots you'll find that it's ability to hold the heat and recover is awesome.

there will be a little adjustment on times as the cooker is more even as well as a rotisserie.

Not going to Ponca, the other way. To South Carolina, still going to be a 8 plus hr drive one way. Can't wait to get it home and fire it up. Already got it a place to sit out of the weather, for now. Planning to put it on a trailer as soon as I get a chance. Gonna miss the Jack, we will make up for it next year. Maybe we will get a draw...??

One thing to think about. Look at the smoke stack. It's basically wide open to the weather and if you're cooking outside in the rain... well you get the picture.

Let's talk after you get it.

I know it's exciting. Did one cook once on a 750 and somewhere around 70 briskets

Business MUST be good.

Got it home. I looked at the exhaust and your right, "Open to the World". The small pipe at the back left corner is the smokestack I would assume. Then there is the big smoke evaluator in the middle. My first question is with the smoke evaluator. Shouldn't it totally close off when not being used? The guy seemed to think it was supposed to vent smoke as well as the smokestack. I can't see that.. To me it's better to seal off everything except the smokestack to hold heat and smoke. Other than that gap in the evaluator, I'm very happy with it. Wanted to ask before I adjust it to a closed position for running. Also, he said to let y'all know he still has 1 left. He had 6, he's keeping 3 for his business. Nothing but praises for the FEC 750 and Cookshack from this guy...

Congrats, Now that's big time.

Depending on where you keep it, things may like to crawl down in the smokestack. And they end up staying there.

Just saying.

Good thought. We have " Barn Cats " here. To avoid smoking one, I will be sure to cover the exhaust when not in use. Thanks ,

OK, all fun aside. I have used other peoples Southern Prides for years in all kinds of weather conditions. This is a 2010 model, it apears to me the only difference between it and the 2012 models is the main power and rotisserie switch. The newer one is a rain proof style. What other things can water/rain mess up. Eventually I will have this on a trailer and it will get rained on. I always protect my FEC100's against getting wet. Should I worry that much about this one? Thanks

I have mine mounted on a 18' long car hauler, facing toward the front. Placed on top of the back axle. Put a roof over the entire thing, and then a 16' awning coming off one side. Put cabinets and counter tops on both sides running toward the front. How wide is the 750?

RandyE

It's basically 7x7. I have not measured the footprint but I think it's 4x7.

But that will fit on a car hauler. I went with that to make sure there would be no issues on overloading the trailer. And it tows very well. Double axle is alot safer for towing.

You guys going to be in Knoxville in May??

The shipping weight is 2000lb according to the website. I figure it is 1800lb plus pellets and any other stuff I need to haul. A tandom axle is the way to go I've found out. I'm gonna look real good before I buy one. At least I don't have to worry about hauling 200 lbs of propane everywhere I go. We wanted to go to Knoxville last year , scheduling got in the way. Hoping to this coming year. Thanks for the info.
