I do think that rotating the racks helps quite a bit in this smoker, especially if you have long items that get close to the back of the cook box. I have found that the back of the smoker tends to run a bit hotter and dryer than the front.
You can use this knowledge to your advantage if you have a cut of meat that's thicker on one side. Or if you're doing chicken you can put the dark meat towards the back.
If you have more than one rack going at a time, it helps to switch positions: rotate racks top to bottom and front to back.
The KBQ makes this little dance incredibly easy because there are so many available slots to place a rack. And since it gets back up to temp so fast, I never feel bad about opening it up to rotate racks or check on the cook.
