How many pork butts can you fit on the 22" WSM?

[Michael Wilson]

Was hoping to get 3 on a rack and wondered if anyone has made them fit.

I was able to sqeeze on 5 per shelf on mine once. I wouldn't do more than 4 though normally as you get a lot of fat build-up (potential for a grease fire) with so many. You should be able to comfortably do 4 per rack

Dat's a lot of butts!

Outstanding!

Next week I've got about 65 people coming in working on a project. I plan to do 3 or 4 butts and two flats for dinner one evening.

Mike, I've done six over 9 pounds each. After putting on your rub,stand them on their sides in the shape of a triangle. One triangle on each rack. I did a little over sixty pounds once. Lot of meat!!!!
