Saw a post where somebody hung jerky stips. He jus put a toothpick through the end of the piece of meat and set it between the wires of the cooking grates. Worked like a charm!

you don't get a lot of room between the top grate and the water pan. If I need to hang something, I'll stack two bodies together and even then you don't get much distance.
I've learned to stab these bacon hangers into the bellies far enough down so the hook is just above the belly (not like the pic where they are stabbed to high).
The other issue is that you need one person to hold the grate while you hang the meat, and then you have to get the grate and meat up high enough to drop into the smoker.

I was ready to break out the "come on, its an old pic from last winter" but we just got hit with our first real accumulation, so my driveway looks that way as I type.

yes 18".
the 18's don't sit that great as there is a bit of play. I used this set up to do a large ham, and worked a bit of foil into the gap to keep it all a little more stable. My guess is you'd want to do something similar with 22's.

next to the "Leaning Tower WSM". I bet you could hang some slabs in that rig. The thermometer has to be a "B" to read though. I'd have to go with the wireless remote for sure.

Check out this meat hangar from Smoke EZ - http://www.flickr.com/photos/36362877@N07/3495601250/
Should be easy enough to weld up.

there's no way that thing was cooking. I don't trust a stack of two.
Me, I'd use it to smoke giraffe neck or maybe elephant trunk. L/S is the way to go for trunk, lots of connective tissue to break down.
