Jake, put the thinner half on the top, and the thicker half below. That way, they cook evenly. I've done a bunch of them in my #1 that way. BTW, if you stick to about 11 lbs, and watch the length, you can cram it into a #2 uncut. The ends hit, but will soon shrink to size! Come to think of it, I might try to cram that one in there, too!
