My first FEC 100 cook was successful

Former Member

I did two pork shoulders today. I did them hot and fast method. They came out very nicely. Took about 5 hours total.

This was a) my first cook on my FEC 100, and b) my first hot and fast on pork shoulders.

My weird experiences were that the internal probe registered 71 degrees for well over an hour from the moment I put it in the meat. I know it was colder in the meat than that at first. But it finally got working a couple of hours into the cook.

The other strange thing is all the ash that was "peppering" the whole bottom of the smoker ... whoa! I wasn't expecting it. But overall it did not seem to effect the finished product which is all I am interested in.

I have done them slow and fast. It's all good.

By the way:

Hat tip to Bill at Cookshack for telling me not to worry about the 71 degree start out with the probe.

I called him twice while cooking, and he said to be patient and not worry about it, that it would probably come up, and it did.

Worked great!!
