You will LOVE the # 2, I sure do. You may wonder if you can cook much in the #2, but I have cooked 5 Racks of Ribs (Cut in half), 4 Turkey Breast and 4 Pork Butts (Total weight 29.36 lbs) in my #2 each at one time. It was tight and took some figuring out how to get them in there and let the heat and smoke distribute evenly throughout the cook time, but was done.
I will say this smoker makes me feel as though I am really better at doing this than I am, but in the end it is the smoker that does the amazing part. If you will read up on how to do the parts you are going to be smoking, it is almost a fail safe way of smoking. Tony has great brining instructions that are great and will take your smoking to the next level.
