Does anybody here cook two butts and one brisket in a single 18" WSM? I know some teams do that in comps, I tried it this past weekend at home and results were not that great. I think maybe the butts were too large and money muscles were too close to the edge where the heat rises (butts were on bottom rack), and that resulted in the front piece of the money muscles becoming tough while the inside of the money muscle was perfect. Brisket was fairly large but shrunk nicely, cooked OK.

Chenernator, I do 3 slabs on the bottom rack if I'm using water in the pan. I found the bottom will run 20 degrees cooler so my ribs can cook at 235 while my chicken cooks at 255. I cook 16 thighs on the top rack in two foil pans so I don't get drippings on the ribs (hopefully the ribs are foiled by the time the chicken goes on anyway) If I time everything correctly, when I open the lid to tweak the chicken I pull the top rack and check the ribs then get everything closed back up and start managing the temp spike I just created. I would say this works well for me but I've yet to get a call for ribs so I may change it up a bit for next year.

That sounds about right for the size I typically use. If you have to trim the side opposite of the MM to get a better fit, it shouldn't matter much because I find the meat on the MM side of the bone to be better anyway.

The tight fit for the butts lead me to use the 22". With the 18", there were problems when removing the butts for foiling. Sometimes the butts would fall apart right at the MM. With the extra room in the 22", I put the MMs facing the center of the grate. Benny |

1-22" performer and 3 -18' wsm's ...... no 22"wsm for me...i used one(22"wsm) twice now, and i'm not liken it.........uses more fuel / lots of mass/harder.... to hold temp in my book.
