    How much can you reasonably smoke in the KBQ

    I have the base KBQ with four racks and now I’m thinking about getting more. Hosting a party soon.

    Assuming I have as many wire racks as needed, how many briskets could I safely smoke? Not sure 2 briskets would fit on a single rack. 1 or 2 per rack times how many racks?

    What if I go cheap and do pork butts instead, how many butts? 2 or 3 per rack times how many racks?

    I will probably use sous vide as well. Once did sous vide only for about 60 lbs of pulled pork to feed a crowd.

    Thank you!

    I’ve done four briskets in mine at a time.

    If you separate them and trim well you can get them in the fairly easy. As long as they are not 15 lb - 20 lbers.

      If you are doing pork shoulders, you can get two per rack

        Thanks. I have four briskets in the fridge with some salt. Go in the KBQ tomorrow for some sous vide Q this coming Friday.
