Barbecuing Lots of Meat in 18.5" WSM -- Logistics Help Needed

[M Krulee]

I don't know about nicer - it was a new at the time (12 years ago) hand me down from somebody that never used it and it's been sitting unused next to my barn for years - but yeah it's got three vents on the bottom. I gotta add that I really like the WSM. So easy to use.

Looks like I was able to get 7 slabs of beef ribs on the bottom grate this morning pretty easily. I moved the brisket from the bottom grate up top with the butt and it fit nicely. Now I just need everything to finish cooking before everyone arrives this afternoon! So far so good though.

Here is a link to some pics.

That was a lot of meat on a 18.5, everything look great!

nice work, Paul. How'd it turn out? Any issues with the ends?

The ends of the ribs were fine actually. The ribs definitely took longer than usual to cook though with them all bunched together like that. I wish I had left myself more time to cook them.

I had quite a bit of meat on there. Pre-cooked it was about 46 pounds.
