Fast Eddy’s™ by Cookshack FEC120 Operator’s Manual, V. 14

Loading Instructions

 The maximum capacity of this unit is 150 lbs. pork butts, 120 lbs. briskets, 90

lbs. ribs or 30 whole chickens (about 3 lbs. per chicken) per load.

 Do not blanket load (completely load) the bottom rack. Blanket loading the

bottom rack prevents adequate airflow inside the unit.

 When cooking large pieces of meat, turn the fat cap down on the bottom rack

and up on the upper racks.

Shut Down and Maintenance Procedure

Press the reset button and wait 10 minutes to allow for cooling before opening the

smoker then turn the master on/off switch to the “OFF” position.

To properly maintain your smoker, consider the following:

 Soot and Fly ash:

o The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The

fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of

the flue gases. Incomplete combustion such as occurs during startup,

shutdown or incorrect operation of the smoker oven will lead to some

soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The

exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to

determine if cleaning is necessary.

 Clean ash from the fire pot and combustion chamber weekly or if it appears as

if there is a buildup of ash.

 Disposal of ash – Ash should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting

lid. The closed container of ash should be placed on a noncombustible floor or

the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If

the ash is disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, it should

be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

 Clean the racks and inside of cooking chamber with a degreaser. You can

power wash grills weekly. (Recommended cleaner is Zep FS10184 Degreaser)

o NOTE: PROTECT ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM

MOISTURE DURING THIS PROCESS.

 If the oven is stored outdoors care should be taken to ensure that water does

not get into the pellet hopper or controller. Wood pellets expand greatly when

wet and will jam the auger system. A cover is highly recommended for this

unit (Cookshack’s FEC120 Cover Part Number is PV027).

 Brush the Convection fan blades off periodically.
