Cooking Multiple Items

[JRAiona]

I'm going to be cooking 2 pork butts on my 18.5 and haven't done 2 items at once before. Would you recommend rotating them at about the half point mark?

You can probably fit them side-by-side on the top rack and not have to worry about rotating.

Should be room for 2 on the top grate of an 18"
no rotation needed.

I didn't think that 2 would fit on the same grate. That would sure make it a lot easier. Thanks Bob and Carl.

If they don't fit, don't worry about moving one from one rack to the other. They will still finish nearly if not exactly the same time and what you will have is two different flavors (only a slight difference) which is what BBQ is all about

Thanks Chuck. A little flavor variance would not be a bad thing.
