How many butts can you fit on a Large?

I'm hoping for 6. Is that possible?

I would think 4 could work, six would be pushing it

With adj rig, I did 6 without touching each other last weekend. I had room for 2-3 more.

How is the adjustable rig different from the BGE 3 tier rack? That's what I will have to use. I will use the base rack and 1 above it. Hoping to get 3 on each level.

This is what I'm hoping to fit 6 on...

You can fit 6 on that. No problem.

Here is two 8 pound butts on my large to give you a sort of scale. I think three on each level would work just fine.

I hope so. Thanks for the input!!!

I've done 3 ten pounders on one level. If you can get 3 more on top you are good to go

depends. bone in, bone out? I've got the adjustable rig and i've fit 5 on, but it was a squeeze. With boneless 5-6lb'ers you might get 6. But i like bone in 8lb'ers. 4 is my norm. it sucks because the dome thermo almost always is dug into one when i pack it out.

I have done 8 5 pounders, bone in, without a rig. I just stacked them so they had room to breathe. Turned out just as good as any other butt I have done. Only difference was the dome thermometer turned into a meat thermometer. Maverick kept me on track.

Howdy, Stranger!
