Going to smoke two 8 lb. pork butts. Should I put one on the top rack and one on the bottom, or put both on one rack? Thanks.

I would smoke both of them on the top grate, here is a pic of a couple that I smoked earlier this summer.

Thanks Eric. That’s the practical choice and my preferance. Appreciate the quick response.

Same here! Double load the top rack or even get three on. And as Rich Dahl reminded me, “If you are not using the lower rack, take it out! One less thing to feel like you have to wash!!” I miss the guy!

I agree with a double-tap on the top grate. Less hassle.
However, I would leave the lower grate in, and put a foil drip-pan in there. It will help enormously with the clean-up if you're using the waterpan.
Edit: If you're using a diffuser, & not the waterpan, put the drip-pan on the diffuser.

And you could put some beans in that pan^^^ and let them get some liquid love.
