I can easily fit 2 spatch-cocked chickens in the mini using both grates and maintaining high temps is no problem.
But if I were doing 2 chickens, it's a lot easier for me to just do them on the UDS.
Nice smoker!
And no, I'm not afraid of galvanized steel, especially at the temps we're dealing with. I grew up licking lead paint and playing at the local landfill. I think my daily consumption of Diet Coke will kill me first, if anything....lol...
Or, you can go even smaller and get the Cobb smoker....:))))
But, since building my mini-14.5 I haven't used the Cobb all that much as the mini is 100X better in all aspects.
