Put four 7-8 pound pork butts on a large? What was your set up? Thanks in advance.

Just pile them in. I did 3 almost 9#ers last year. It takes about the same time as one once it gets going. Just make sure you fill with enough lump( into the second ring).

Do you have a two tier set up? I've seen ppl cram more than that on a large easy._______________________________________________XLBGE

I have seen pics where people put two butts on, then simply rested an extra grid on top of the butts and placed more on top.I think I would at least use some balls of foil or something like that to try to create a little gap between the bottom butts and the rack.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Here the setup for four and plenty of room for MORE! These are 8 to 9 pounders. I one time squeezed seven butts on the large - had to stand them on end.. As they shrunk, they stopped touching one another!!

Did the Butts on top cook quicker? Did you rotate them halfway through the cook?

I've done 3 ten pounders all on single level. Just make sure to check temp of each. Every hunk of meat cooks different. Don't be surprised if a smaller one takes longer than a big one.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

I do 4 butts on my large all the time on 1 rack. I set them up by standing them on the bone side. I need to keep the money musle in tack and in good shape. It doesn't take any longer than doing 2.

These butts were turbo cooked: Smoked until the internal was 160 degrees, then wrapped in foil until finished at 210 degrees.
