Title: 24 butts in July ... that's a record for me ... and I'm tired :)
Post by: jpowell on July 25, 2021, 11:57:25 AM

Between July 4th, an all-staff party, and a men's cookout at church ... I've done 24 9-10lb butts in my 3D in the month of July. That's a record for me ... and one I'd rather not repeat without upgrading to a bigger model :-)
Props to my good old 3D though ... 5yrs since purchase and it still doesn't miss a beat!

Now that’s one impressive run!

What's the most you've done at one time?  I did six and then realized I needed a much larger drain pan.  :)  I think 8 would be possible, but not sure.

I've only done 4 max at a time since I use foil pans and need a little more space at the top than the current rack config allows. Do you have any issues with the lowest butts getting hammered from the fire box being that close?

Ha! I don’t think I’ve done 24 total in the time I’ve owned my 3D! That’s crankin’ out some butt!

I’m guessing everyone enjoyed them! :)
