I fit on an XL egg?I am guessing 6-8 lbs each.I think that 2 will fit on my home-made extender,but don't know how many will fit on the grid :blink:Any tips or suggestions will be appreciated ;)

    It may help to have a baster ready to suck out some of the fat during the cook. I did 32 lb in a large and it would have over flowed my drip pan if I had not emptied some. Good luck, Pdub

    You can get six on the grate without the extender. Why do you need that many?
