To rotate or not
« on: July 01, 2014, 05:13:57 PM »
I'm planning on doing 8 racks of spares in the #2 on the 4th, found some smaller ones at wal mart for around 10 bucks they are around 15 inches long so no trimming or cutting in half needed. My question is do I need to rotate with that big a load...bottom to top after a couple hours or just go 5 and a half hours at 225 no peek like I usually do on smaller loads of 2-4 slabs, kind of worried since that bottom rack will be much closer to the heat.

I think I would get them up as high as you can on the racks and leave it closed for five hours no peak.

There is always a few that are bigger or smaller than the others. Try to put the bigger ones on the bottom.

For the big smokes I rotate & do a light sauce @ 4 hours.  Works well.
