How many cookers do you use?

jtfisher63 · 05-12-2008, 12:54 PM

Alright, how many of you use different cookers for different meats at a contest? I have heard of people that like to cook briskets at one temp and ribs at another, etc. Also, some cookers can't fit all four meats on them. So what I want to know is how many cookers do you use and why. TIA

jtfisher63 · 05-12-2008, 12:56 PM

Oh, I use one, but am thinking of trying something different!

Smitty · 05-12-2008, 01:01 PM

I have 3 WSMs and usually keep the meats separate. Chicken in one pork with ribs in another, and brisket in the last.

BBQchef33 · 05-12-2008, 01:40 PM

brisket in one, Ribs and Butts in another and chicken in third.

all because i use different woods, different temps.

SP · 05-12-2008, 01:57 PM

1 but I have diffrent heat zones in mine. So I can cook chicken Hotter and pork lower and brisket in the middle.

Fatback Joe · 05-12-2008, 02:05 PM

2 Chicken in one, the rest in the other.

tony76248 · 05-12-2008, 02:05 PM

Brisket and ribs/butt in one (225 degrees), chicken in another (300+ degrees).

I cook IBCA so we normally do just brisket, ribs and chicken. At some cookoffs we will do butt or wild hog and that gets cooked at 225 too.

Plus I will use different types of wood to cook with, but hickory seems to work well for both the ribs and the brisket.

3) Brisket in 1 drum, Pork in 1 drum, ribs and chicken in the trailer.

FatBoyz · 05-12-2008, 03:18 PM

we put our brisket on 2 differant smokers and ribs on one anc chick on 2 diff smokers

scottyd · 05-12-2008, 03:39 PM

I use 2 one for all the meats and the other one for prime rib.

toys4dlr · 05-12-2008, 03:56 PM

I use three, the stump's for the Brisket and butts (cause I like to sleep), the BGE for chicken and the UDS for ribs. Different temps and ease for the cook.

Smokin Gator · 05-12-2008, 03:58 PM

Well, I answered two as that is what The Kapn and I will be using this weekend. We have been using just the FEC, but the Spicewine makes its comp debut this weekend in Dothan.

MoKanMeathead · 05-12-2008, 05:50 PM

I answered 4 but that is because we use 2 WSMs for the 2 briskets and 2 kettles for the chicken. The ribs and buts are in the Lang

We use two cookers, a custom "large medium" Spicewine and an XL Big Green Egg.
