How many butts on the large
uncbbq
Posts: 165
I need to cook three butts for a party Sunday. Can I fit three 7 lb. butts on one level (large BGE)? I don't have a grid extender, but I could probably rig something up. I'd rather put them on the same level, but eyeballing it, it looks really close. Anyone had success with three on a large?
Thanks
Thanks

uncbbq,
We cook 4 butts at once all the time on a large. We do
2 on the grate and 2 on a grill extender ( with plate setter legs up and dry drip pan)... leave room between the "top 2" for the thermometer to go between and not stab them. It works great.

BENTE,
Party at Terry's house! I especially like the way you season your gasket too. Could this be the answer to not melting the gaskets?LOL.
