Question re: cooking multiple butts...

GriffinGaDawg

I'm cooking 5 butts (approx. 30 lbs)would it be a problem if I stacked them on top of each other...re: touching each other? Would it alter the time needed to cook (re: longer)? Thanks.

It might extend your cook time a bit. You can stand them on end or sides, that's what I had to do to get 5 on a single grid. It didn't seem to matter much far as the cook. They touched in the beginning but when they shrank there was no touching.

Hey Ted, Great seeing you Sunday! What we do when we have a lot of meat, we stand them up on end and lean into each other like a teepee. Then, we skewer them together with as much space between to allow for even and fast cooking, while still staying sturdy. It really works well. HTH.
