4 Butts - Will This Work

Just put these on, is this going to work OK? Got 'em @250 at the second grid.
I need them ready in 24 hours.
I think the lid hit them when I closed it.

Roll Tider,
I used the same setup last week and ended up with the upper butts touching. I had hoped the bottom ones would shrink more earlier in the cook. If you can find a way to add some space, even a couple of bricks or smething, the cook will go faster.

I agree with Steven. You need mo' space.

How do you get it that low ?

I did it like this only letting them touch just enough to hold them up. -RP

Roll Tider,
Just looked again with my glasses, I thought you had the grid extender at first. That is what I used and it still wasn't enough

I broke thge golden rule, I opened her up, removed the second grid, stood 'em all up, held together by some skewers. I'm stressin', got about 50 people coming over tomorrow.

My goodness that is beautiful! It's time to order some more butt. You guys have inspired me...it's been about a month, and after looking at those photos, a month is too long!

How big are those butts?
They appear to be 8 - 9 pounds each. 32 pounds of raw product - minus 40% = 19.2 pounds of cooked product. That will feed 57.6 to 76.8 people. Even more if they are 9 pounds or bigger. -
Don't be worried, you'll be fine. Just monitor the temp and try not to peek too much. Have a great party! -RP
