Does anyone know how many chicken leg quarters you can cook on a FEC 500

should be able to get 2 per square foot easy.
500 = 52 square feet = 104 easy. more with some creativity.

Hey Don,
I think that you can a whole lot more than that on there. At the 104 count that is less than 7 legs per tray. I get about thirty thighs on a tray. I feel you can get at lest 14 or more. How large are the quarters??
And then you throw in the lefts and rights and they just mesh together very well. I had a Kingfisher and it had only 4 trays 10"x42", and I had 60 on it. And I have found the extra 2" in width of the trays really makes a difference when it comes to loading it up.

I have an update, cooked 7 40# cases of leg quarters on mt FEC 500 this weekend. Didn't get an exact piece count but some where between 300 and 350 pieces. And they turned out great.
awesome! any room left over for more?
Hey Don,
20-23 per tray. That sounds good, the trays are large and you can really pack stuff on em.
The FEC500 is a real work horse.
