Just got my Backyard BBQ News, so the 750 is what the 2000 used to be. What's the 411 on the FEC 500? Any pictures? How big is it? How many burners? You can't tease us like that and not give any info.

They don't tell the marketing director about new products. :-) Actually, I saw a price list for the FEC500 last week, so I think if you call 1-800-423-0698 John is prepared to sell you one. Here is what the price list says:
MODEL FEC500 100% wood-burning smoker, state-of-the-art digital control system, 850 degrees insulation, black exterior with stainless steel interior, (15) plated racks 12� x 42�, 52 square feet of cooking space; shipping weight 1,500 lbs. $11,500.00 Includes: 1 gal. Spicy Barbecue Sauce, 1 gal. Mild Barbecue Sauce, 5# RibRub, 5# Spicy Chicken Rub, 8 oz. Chili Mix, 10 oz. Spicy Barbecue Sauce Mix, 80 lbs. pellets, Cookbook and Operator�s Manual. MODEL FEC500 (All Stainless Steel) Same as above. $12,500.00
I will post dimensions shortly.
The new model numbers refer to pound capacity: FEC750 does 750 lbs., FEC500 does 500 lbs. The FEC500 looks just about perfect for a professional competition cook who also does catering.

RE: dimensions
Evidently this is still a "beta" product and exact dimensions are not finalized. Call John at 1-800-423-0698 for more information.

Will we be able to see it, during the class this week?
Tom, Donna will tease us you know for awhile, but don't bother her too much, she's packing to come to Florida. 
Tom,
I know where they are in the building, I'll take you back there, just don't tell Donna or Stuart

Shhhh, Donna might see this. Just say "hey I have to go to the bathroom" and we'll all go.
Course might be suspicious if all of us follow each other to the bathroom.
