Hi Everyone! I'm in the market for a new smoker. Right now I'm using either 2 - 3 Lg. BGE's or 2 Lg BGE's and a UDS and I think I've had enough moving the eggs, dealing with limited cook space, and worrying about breaking and/or chipping them. I've been eyeing a Stumps, Superior, or Spicewine for a while and upon further research the FEC 100 has me thinking that it is the optimal cooker for what I want to do. Before making the jump I have a couple of questions running through my head.
First, I've heard and read of people setting the cooker for butts and briskets on Friday night, getting a good nights sleep, Cambroing the meat in the morning, and then putting on ribs and chicken in the morning. How do you do this? Do you not foil the butts and briskets? I'm just trying to see if this is realistic.
Second, are there any concerns about the smoker being in the rain? Dust storms? From what I understand the main concern is water in the hopper but is that a concern with rain?
Third, if you use an FEC in comps do you bring an additional smoker with you for any meat(s)? I'm really hoping to limit it to the FEC 100 for the comp and a mini egg for lunch and dinner.
Fourth, what accessories do you recommend? I'm thinking the rib rack, cover, and an extra rack.
Fifth, when transporting it can you lay it flat on it's back in the bed of a truck or on a trailer?
Thanks for the help!
