soon to be FEC 100 owner in Canada

Former Member

Hi, I am awaiting the arrival of a new fec 100 here in Canada.
I have had several other cookers in the past few years but am now pumped about getting the new cooker.
I have read many posts from members where they have cooked burgers in their FEC's/FE's.
I find that simply awesome.
Being the pit is going to be brand new, I was thinking that a big jag of greasy burgers might just be the ticket to both 'season' the pit AND enjoy burgers at the same time.
I guess I`m asking for any burger cooking tips you might be willing to share....like times?, flip or no flip?
Thanks and can`t wait.......i`ll post some pics when it gets here.

I don't do burgers in a smoker. I prefer mine seared over high heat. But plenty of people do steaks and burgers, maybe they'll stop in with some times for you.

Congrats on the purchase

Congrats on the new toy! I can't help with the burger question, but remember to put foil on the bottom of the cooker, the grease deflector and the grease trough to make cleanup easier.

Have fun!

thanks guys, I recently sold a gorgeous ole hickory 'CTO' to a top Canadian competition team and have regretted it ever since so I`m now getting back into it but this time with a pellet cooker.
I`m going to use it to cater on a small level.
Can`t wait......

COngrats Roger!!!! FWIW I seasoned my first FE with greasy hamburgers. My IQ4, I just used some lard to season it.

Good luck with the purchase!

Hi Scottie, thanks very much.
I just received an email from the person who was kind enough to have arrainged the purchase that IT HAS BEED DELIVERED.
Its at his place of business where I will go and scoop it up and its about 45 minutes from here.
Man, I`m pumped right up about it.
Yeah, I think a big scoff of greasy burgers would be a good way to get the inner walls all darkened up.
I`ll take a few photos of the beast when I get it home.
