I cooked 16 butts in my standard smoker and had room to spare. I had read on each rack and could have probably fit 5 easy and 6 with some maneuvering. Search 16 butts and you should find the thread.

How many of you cook sides in the smoker vs oven, and stove? How much smoke flavor do you get if you do it in the smoker? What temps do you cook them at?

We fed the entire crew at Sams club for 2 days. I don't know the exact head count, but it was a bunch of hungry workers taking full advantage of free food.

Hey SmokinGreene, Thanks for the advice on smoke ring on briskets. I got some Mesquite chunks, and kinda overloaded it with that and Pecan in with the KBB. I loaded them up when the pit was still coming up to temp and straight from the fridge. Didn't use any water, I forgot that hint. I think they turned out alright, if slightly over cooked:

How was the smoke flavor using that much mesquite and pecan wood? If it made it more and heavy smoke flavoring, I might have to start using Mesquite in my brisket cooks.

Big, I was just about to ask Terry the same thing.
I grew up on mesquite and it is all I use on red meat, but I see that it is not very well received on this forum. I have tried the lighter woods, but mesquite with brisket, beef ribs, steaks, etc. is just the go to in my house. So, I am curios as well how was the smoke?

Seeing as how beef is the hardest to get smoke into, that I have seen, I think I will try a brisket with all Mesquite when I get my new smoker and see if that can satisfy my heavy smoke flavor taste.

Thank you... I'll try it and see if it's what I'm after.

Terry, I have found that if you can remove the bark from the mesquite it is not quiet as strong.
I don't mess with it on the LSG, but I have observed the smoke isn't as strong, and I believe the bark is where the bitterness of mesquite comes from. I could be wrong here, it could be too many beers speaking at the end of my cooks? HA!

Heh, I am not even sure if there was bark on the wood chunks or not. I'll take a look next time. Like I said, it wasn't bad, just more smoke than I prefer. A couple less chunks each and spread them out a little more, and It'll be better...

Mesquite is really good on beef. It's just hard to find in our state. You can get some pretty heavy smoke flavor from hickory in the LSG cabinet if you go 50/50 chunks to charcoal..
