XL Pork Butt Question

O.K. experienced XL guys. I got my XL in November and have not cooked on it yet. In fact, it's still sitting on a pallet in the box. I'm cooking pork butts for a graduation in May and was wondering how many 7-8 lb. butts I can get on a single level? I have done eight (4 ea.) on my two larges with swing racks, but really want to get the XL rolling for this cook.
Thanks,
Mike

I got 3 10 pounders on each level with a bit of space left. I'll bet you could get 4 of that size on a single level and still be within the shadow of the platesetter.They/Them

On an XL you should easily be able to fit 4-5 8pounders on a single level.
