I have a big brisket cook on 6/18. CAB cases are about 65 to 80 lbs I trying to get a smaller case, so maybe 6 or so briskets.

I have access to my 18, 22, Ranch Kettle and another 22 (brother's).

Looks like I should be able to handle them best on 2-22s (3 each). Anyone have any experience with this many?

I cooked 2 full packers a while back on the 22 and it went very well. No problems at all.

Cooking 3 on the 22 means that you're gonna have to put 2 on one rack. It can be done but it's a tight fit. I would be prepared to put aluminum foil around the outside edges so the meat doesn't get burnt from the direct heat.

John I haven't done any mods to my 22 so I only have two racks but I only fit two briskets on (1 on each rack). They were 15.5# each though. So if you have smaller ones or a third rack you can do it I'm sure.
 
I have extra racks and was thinking of adding a 3rd either in between or above the top.

I guess it will depend on the thickness of the briskets I get. Smaller ones I can do in a 18 while bigger in the two 22s.
