Doubling Ribs, Adjusting Time/Fuel?

[Mark D. Anderson]

Morning everyone!

I'm doing some ribs today, but thanks to a Father's Day rib rack from my son, I'm doubling the amount of ribs I normally smoke.

Do I need to adjust the amount of charcoal? Do I need to add time?

Thanks!

Mark

I would load up the ring as usual, and shut down the smoker when done to save what you did not use. If the ribs are the close to the same size you should not need to add more time

The only time more meat seems to require longer cook time is when I load up 4 pork butts. Maybe all that mass of cold meat makes it take longer to get up to temp. In any event, it seems to take longer to cook, but it could be my imagination.

I don't think adding more ribs will make much difference.
