Now you know how to cook volume on that cooker. Any lessons learned?

LA Pork Butt Yes! Biggest lesson is to shorten the height if the meat more than I thought. I lost a lot of bark/rub because of rubbing from the racks above. I gave double height to the biggest two, but I couldn’t do that for most of them.
Next is to go 3 butts per rack when possible, then I can give double height to more racks and allow the meat to be higher.
Third is to give more time when stuffed that full!Comment

I remember some finished faster than others. When I do tow levels on my BGE the meat is so close together that they cook like it is one piece of meat twice the thickness of one butt. Since thickness determines cook time when I cooked 40 pounds using two levels they took 22 hours at 225. It sounds like something similar happened on some of the butts.Comment

That turned out awesome! As Purc mentioned above I would rotate the butts top to bottom every hour to even out cooking.Comment
