I got my new FEC 100 and cooked chicken thighs and spare ribs. My first impression is the lesser amount of smoke flavor in the FEC vs the 55 and also a drier less moist product. Did you all notice a difference and could you suggest adjustments or advice? I do understand they are different type smokers but can the differences in product be smoothed out.

Yep,the traditional Cookshacks are tightly sealed and don't flow much air.

The 55 won't achieve the higher temps to crisp chicken skin.

It lends itself well to the Jumpin Jim technique.

Many of us use the higher temps of the FEC on our comp chicken.

Yes,a load of ribs in the traditional CS,can create excess moisture and some folks open the door a couple of times to let the moisture out.

The FEC burns exceptionally clean and doesn't put too heavy a smoke on many foods.

You can load the traditional CS to achieve as much smoke as you can stand.

Like Freedie says,how are you cooking your ribs.

All our FEC s cook mighty moist.
