How many pork butts can handle a 55 gallon UDS?
I'm wondering if is possible to load a UDS with 12 pork butts, six on each grate without problems? I imagine that there will be a huge amount of drippings that might turn off the charcoal.
Has anyone made that many? thanks! Last edited by Mauricio; 01-26-2013 at 11:11 PM.. |

12!!! Dang!!
Simple answer is no. I can get 8 on mine if I arrange things right and use the lid of my weber kettle. Now you could do 12 butts if you had 2 drums and did 6 on each. That would be a much easier feat.

Unless you have like 4lb butts its not going to Happen. I've had 4 8lb butts on 1 grate and they were very tight but once they cooked down they fit perfect

Thank you! I saw a picture on the big drum smoker site with 6 pork butts on one grate and was thinking about it.
Seems like is time to build a second drum smoker! where I live there are no offset smokers commercially available to manage large cookings. have a great weekend. |

Can you fit three grates in there? It seems like 6 butts on each grate would be tight unless they're small butts. If they're touching each other, they will take longer to cook.
Can you locate some kind of pan between the racks and coals to catch the drippings? I'm not sure if they'll be a problem bit if they land in a pan they can't be a problem.

Seems like I will have to start earlier that I thought and let them rest in a cooler as they are getting done. |

Last month I cooked a case(10 butts) on my UDS's I cooked 5 per and think that would be most. I put 3 of the larger ones on the bottom rack and the smallest 2 on the top. I could probably do 6 butts per drum, but would have to select the smaller ones for the top.
