Which Cabinet Smoker

SmittyJonz · Jan 14, 2014

Can handle 2 Butts, 2 Briskets and 4 racks of Spares at once ? What are the Smallest- size and price wise- that could handle it? :wacko:

Backwoods Party Ext.?

Competitor

That might not even be big enough

This one, perhaps? http://superiorsmokers.com/ss3.cfm
You should be able to get 2 butts on one rack, 2 briskets on one rack, and 4 racks of ribs on one rack.

Regualr Assassain? Rebel 23? Superior SS 3/2? Humphreys DownEast Beast?

Spicewine makes outstanding cookers that are built like tanks. If you want a cooker that turns out great product and one that will last for a very, very long time up need to check these out. Attached are a couple of pics of my Large Spicewine. Call Spicewine Iron Works to learn more and go to their site to see their cookers, you will be glad you did.

Good luck

Give the XL Baby by Stumps a look. The original gravity flow smoker.

SmittyJonz · Jan 14, 2014

Looks like Spicewine Medium can handle it.

this is what I'm looking at....starts at $2,595.00

SmittyJonz · Jan 14, 2014

Yup that looks like it could handle it. So Med. SpiceWine, Lonestar, DownEast Beast, Superior SS2, Assassian 28 all seem like they could handle it.

Another vote for the humphreys beast.

SmittyJonz · Jan 14, 2014

If any off yall Guys have these smokers - stage 2 butts, 2 briskets and 4 racks of spares and take a pic and post for us. If you are adventurous then cook 2 butts, 2 briskets and 4 racks and post pics........:thumb:

Humphreys Pint too small? anyone got one?

Okie Sawbones · Jan 14, 2014

Shoot, even a little Backwoods Chubby can handle that and more, at $970.

SmittyJonz · Jan 15, 2014

Humphreys Pint - size and price is looking interesting.

Untraceable · Jan 15, 2014

There is no way a chubby or a half pint can do that at once. You need to talk about responsible loading of a pit. Airflow needs to occur. The smallest pits I would even attempt that on is
G2 fatboy
Assassin 23
Cubed box- drop in pan
Downeast beast
FEC 100
G2 party-ext party
Pint

Drop the theoretical numbers down to 3 racks, and things become more realistic

Fwiw

heres 3 racks of spares on a 20x22" rack. in order to do 4, a 2nd grate is needed. any tighter spacing and airflow suffers to much

Looking to start spending some of your "hard earned" Smitty?

Can I ask why you are looking to do all that food at once in one cooker (looking to start competing or catering :wink

? Your UDS could be used if you need all that food for a single gathering. My other question would be if you are willing to do your ribs in a rack. You might be able to get creative that way.

SmittyJonz · Jan 15, 2014

Just doing some research -- if and when I can get a Cabinet smoker I would want to be able to do 2 -2-4 year if needed- like family reunion or work event or something - UDS would be on Chicken Duty - but still be small enough to reasonably cook one brisket or 1 to 2 butts.

So if I was looking today I think it would be between Humphreys Pint and the Backwoods Party Extended.

Would the right rib rack allow four racks on one shelf in some of these smokers?

sliding_billy · Jan 15, 2014

I would think that the rib rack would be able to stand up on a shelf at ~ the same height as the butts, so yeah I would think so.

Yes, if the grate spacing is right.

I'm doing a custom build on an uninsulated vertical cabinet (client wanted something less expensive) right now (headed over to my shop to fire up the mig after a fnal cup of coffee) and we settled on 3 cooking grates with 8" spacing so briskets & butts would have plenty of of room but with angled rib racks we could easily load 4 racks of spares, maybe 5.

As mentioned previously and you already know this spacing and air flow is important. Finally, the spare ribs I buy come 9 to a case, the SL trimmed ones come 12 to a case; I generally think in terms of being able to cook a case at a time.
