Regardless of price. Which smoker would you rather have?And why?Amerique or FEC100.Or lets just say they are free or priced the same.

Not sure I can follow the logic of comparing two smokers that don't compare.
It's apples and oranges different.
FE is dry heat, AQ is moist
FE is pellets, AQ is electric
FE is all pellets for smoke, AQ is wood chunks (and pellets too if you want) and smokes only as long as there is wood added
FE is twice the inside of an AQ (it's a rough estimate, just a guess)
Not sure I can compare them that way, even for fun, they're just too different and they are NOT the same price.
And given that almost no one has cooked on both, not sure how valid a response is.
What are you getting at?
You need help with a decision?
Me, I'd rather have an FE, that's why I have 3.
But I have an AQ also
Call me lucky

Not trying to get at anything. I have neither of these.I just Was bored and wanted to start a fun thread.Dry heat ,moist heat as far as Im concerned if the end result is good and tastey they are both great. By the way I have a 009 and Im very happy with it.
I always assumed the Fast Eddy's were for competition cookers who needed to comply with the wood for fuel rule. I have read some things about their ability to get up to temp which sounded pretty amazing, but I would have to go with the apples and oranges. I started with water smokers, moved up to an offset, stumbled into a smokin' tex and ended up with an Amerique. Every step of my journey points to less work, more que.
