Will three 10lb butts fit on a single rack on the large?

I believe you can (I had 2 9s and an 8). Although if you have a plate setter you might get some overhang and will need to watch that and rotate.

I will be using a plate setter. Feet up with a drip pan under the grate. I am thinking about 16-20 hours at 225.

At 225 bank on closer to 20 at least that has been my experience.

I have done three 9 lbs before on one level. It was a tight squeeze and they were touching but they came out fine.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

225 dome isn't hot enough. 250 minimum and nothing will change except cook time going to 275.

It will be tight. Might need to do done rotations to keep things even. Why not get some 6-8 inch bolts, washers, nuts, and a cheapo 16 inch grate and build your own raised grid???? It took me a total of 2 minutes!!

Couple of other things to consider-make sure you create an air gap between the drip pan and platesetter so the drippings don't burn. And check once or twice to make sure it doesn't over-fill. Remember-each butt will cook at its own pace so once you get into the high 180's on temperature check each one as there could be a few hour difference in finish times. FWIW-
(Edit) Best finish-line indicator is when the bone pulls clean, usually somewhere in the low 200's.

Stand them up on end....so the long side is vertical. You can tie them together with some skewers.

I was a little off on the weights. They average about 9.5 lbs. I did a test fit and they will work no problem. If I can find my camera I will take a pic.
-
As long as they aren't touching, you'd be fine. It'll be a tight fit, but that's fine with butts!

Looks great!

Make sure your dome thermometer isnt hitting one of them. Other than that, looks awesome.

I removed the clip on the dome termometer and put it on the outside so it floats.

Yes it is Queens Park Rangers. Surprised anyone knows who they are. And I'm not really a hooligan. -

I'm planning on doing 2-9 pounders on the 4th turbo style on my XL. I don't like getting up early and I have found turbo works well. Going to cook at 300-350 for about 5-6 hours then shred into pulled pork.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

I did a (think it was 9# or thereabouts) 235℉ took around 17 hrs and that was with me bumping the Stoker to 300℉ for the last 2-3 hrs. 250℉-275℉ would be fine. Me personally I liked the outcome at 235℉ even with the bump.qprhooligan said:I will be using a plate setter. Feet up with a drip pan under the grate. I am thinking about 16-20 hours at 225.
