FEC 100 Rack Position - Upper or Lower?

briggsyMember

Okay I know I've seen this posted somewhere but do most of you place the FEC 100 rack / shelf in the upper or lower holes??

And when we discuss this, is this placing the bottom shelf closer to the bottom of the FEC or up further?

I have mine in the top holes now, should I move it?.

Thanks

I've always used the upper holes which places the shelves closer to the fire pot. Works for me.

The KEY is the location of the thermostat whichever rack position you choose.

Try to look and make sure that the metal isn't right next to the thermostat. Seems in some FEC's the physical placement can put the two either touching or right next to each other and it seems to cause some temp sensor problems.

When we've seen this in the forums and moved the rack, the problem went away.

Other than that, the physical position makes no difference, it's more an issue of capacity, that if you put it too high, you can't fit really large cuts on the top shelf (butts specifically).

Doesn't matter for cooking.
