PONCA CITY, OKLAHOMA, USA – January 27, 2007 Sixty professional teams vied for the coveted top ten at the KCBS-sanctioned Lakeland Pig Fest, January 26 – 27, 2007, Lakeland, FL. Five of the teams who made it were competing on Fast Eddy’s by Cookshack smokers.

Ed “Fast Eddy” Maurin and Jerry Smith of Smoke & Suds were cooking next to each other, Jerry on an FEC100 and Eddy on an FEC500.

FECs are known for their accuracy and reliability.
