Cookshack Smokers Have Many Uses Including BBQ Competitions!

Cookshack smokers are used by many different types of people and businesses. One of the groups who are the most passionate and devoted to the art of barbecue are competition cooks and their teams. Teams from all across the nation use our Fast Eddy™ by Cookshack line of pellet smokers and pellet grills to compete in contests large and small. The unit that is most popular with these teams is the Fast Eddy’s™ by Cookshack FEC100. With proper management, you can use this one smoker to do all four KCBS categories using this one awesome unit! Check out this video to see how.

You may wonder how teams who use our equipment perform in contests. Of course, each week is different, but many of these teams are consistently successful.

Here are a few teams that we wanted to recognize:

Hawg Doctors from Geneseo, NY – Michael and Andrea Sawyers: They competed for the first time at the American Royal World Series of BBQ Invitational event and placed 15^th out of over 170 teams! They own three FEC100 units.

Bill and Lynn Pruchnik: They compete in contests from Massachusetts to Mississippi and have Top 10 places in most of these contests. They use their FEC100 to run their catering and vending business as well.

Down to Smoke (DTS BBQ) Team from Phoenix, AZ – Phil Johnson and Howard Daley Jr.: Phil the Grill was recently on Chopped – Grillmasters and other team members have appeared on BBQ Pitmasters, BBQ Pit Wars, and other internet talk shows.

What is the cost of operating a commercial smoker?

Knowing the cost of operating a commercial smoker is important for your business. It is one of many factors that need to be considered in determining profit margins. Cookshack smokers and charbroilers are efficient especially when you consider the amount of meat and vegetables that you can smoke during one cook cycle. There design will not dry or shrink meat and will give you higher yields.

Below are two charts to consider in determining your energy costs using Cookshack commercial equipment. These are based on average kwh figures and will vary depending on your geographic region. The wood and pellet costs are based on Cookshack Wood Chunks and Pellets including average shipping costs. The first chart is based on using the equipment at the highest temperature settings available for that unit. This would be the maximum estimated cost you would see using this equipment. The second chart is based on using the equipment at a lower or average rate of temperature for that unit. This would be most likely where the units would operate most of the time.

For the electric smokers, you use electricity to power the controller and unit while the wood is used for flavoring. In the pellet-fired smokers and charbroiler, electricity is only needed to run the controller, fans, and augers. The wood pellets provide the heat and flavor. Consequently, in the electric units the majority of the cost is from electricity and in the pellet-fired units the majority of the cost is from the pellets.

What are the Requirements for Venting Commercial Smoker Ovens?

Smoke Evacuator for FEC300/500/750

Cookshack Pellet-Fired Smokers

Ventilation is required for the proper operation of Cookshack commercial smokers. When planning your flue, it is important to remember several factors:

It must draw air naturally throughout the flue.
Clean the flue every six (6) months.
One (1) inch clearance from combustible materials.
The flue should not have more than two (2) ninety-degree elbows in it and should not be longer than thirty (30) feet.

A small amount of smoke will escape from the top of the oven and from around the door. Consult your local authorities to determine which method meets your local codes:

A Cookshack Smoke Evacuator can be used to remove the smoke from the Models FEC300SS, FEC500SS, and the FEC750SS. The evacuator consists of a set of louvers that open when the smoker doors are opened. It operates by drawing smoke from inside the oven and venting it out the top of the unit. It requires a ten (10) inch pipe, minimum 24 gauge with mushroom type fan (minimum 280 cfm) mounted on the roof (not provided by Cookshack). Pipe needs three (3) inches of clearance from combustibles. The fan must run on a separate electrical circuit from the smoker. It is the customer’s responsibility to attach an updraft fan to the evacuator to remove the smoke from their building.
The Cookshack Flue Collector is a filtered flue hood that attaches to the flue system that sets over the exhaust tube on the smoker. Some fire marshals require this higher level of exhaust. The Flue Collector is designed to remove more smoke, grease and ash. The Cookshack Part Number is PA005. This is intended for our Models FEC300SS, FEC500SS, and the FEC750SS.
Install the optional Smokehood from Cookshack for Models FEC120 and FEC240 only. The stainless steel Smokehood incorporates a removable grease filter and an exhaust fan. It mounts directly on top of the smoker and removes the smoke vented during ordinary cooking.
- Part number PA004 FEC120 Smokehood – old style FEC120

Cookshack recommends three (3) primary methods for venting.

Place the smoker oven under a Class 1 or Class 2 hood. For specific details on a Class 2 hood, consult your local authorities. Some regions will have different regulations about hoods and venting.

Direct vent the oven. The oven can be direct vented by using a flue that is a minimum five (5) inches in diameter, type “L” pipe. It is to extend three (3) feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof. It also needs to be at least two 2 feet higher than any portion of the building within ten (10) feet or in accordance with state and local fire codes. A rain cap must be utilized on a flue exhaust.

Install the optional Smokehood from Cookshack. The stainless steel Smokehood incorporates a removable grease filter and an exhaust fan. It mounts directly on top of the smoker and removes the smoke vented during ordinary cooking. Smokehood part numbers PA001, PA002, PA003.

Why should you use 100% food-grade wood pellets?

Why should you use 100% food-grade pellets in your pellet grills and smokers?

Cookshack barbecue pellets are made from hardwoods that contain fewer resins and the pellets are produced in a controlled process to ensure a food grade product. Our food grade pellets are made by pulverizing and drying hardwood sawdust and extruding to an uniform density through a rotating die under enormous heat and pressure (250° F @ 3,000 PSI). The pellets get their shape from the naturally occurring lignin in the wood. The pellets are cooled and placed in 20 lb. bags.

Food-Grade Pellet Specifications are:

¼” Diameter
½” – 1” Length
100% Hardwood Content
40-46 lbs/cubic feet Density
6 to 8% Moisture Content
8,000 – 9,000 btu/lb
1% of less Ash Content
Bark Free

Food Grade Pellets

Food grade pellets contain fewer fillers and have less moisture content and ash than pellets used in wood burning stoves and furnaces. Pellets used for stoves and furnaces will also sometimes contain a gluing agent or something to bind the pellets together that is not food grade quality as required by the USDA. Pellets manufactured for wood stoves are available in two grades: premium and standard. Standard pellets are made from forest waste and contain branches and bark. You want to look out for bark content because bark content in pellets affects the BTU. Performance quality is vital to get the right results!

Food grade pellets are clean-burning that produce very little ash with a low creosote buildup.

Cookshack offers four food grade pellet flavors (all pellets are 60% oak and 40% flavor, oak pellets are 100% oak wood) in 20 lb. Bags:

Hickory – most popular hardwood that gives a sweet, smoky traditional Southern-style flavor
Mesquite – has a stronger woody taste and complements duck, lamb and beef
Oak – works with pork, red meat, fish, and game meats; it is more subtle than hickory and stronger than fruitwoods.
Fruitwood – mixes well with veal, poultry, and pork

Food Grade Wood pellets

Quantity discounts are available. Pellets are easily obtainable, inexpensive and easy to store as compared to traditional logs. We recommend storing pellets in a dry well-ventilated area. Do not store wood pellets near potential ignition sources.

Food grade wood pellets burn more efficiently than raw wood used in stick burner pits. Wood pellets are a superior cooking technology, providing the best cooking platform for barbecue recipes.

In order to maintain your warranty in Cookshack products, food grade pellets must be used in the units.
