• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Probably been discussed several times. What are the pros and cons of hanging meat for smoking vs. being laying on a rack?
 
If you'll do a google search on "bbq-brethren.com pbc vs uds hanging meat vs grate". You'll get several large threads, all of which turned into a chitstorm at some point. It's a touchy contentious subject, at best.

From my personal experience it depends on what you're cooking. I cooked 30 chicken quarters at a time hanging because I was cooking large quantities. If I wasn't doing large quantities then the go on the cook grate or roti.... I like the outside texture better that way.

Pork butts I like either way pretty much equal but had to do 44 lbs at once in a little cooker so I hung them all. Like rotisserie butts the best

Ribs....meh. Hanging i fit more one and the texture is ok but grate cook gives me more of the grilled texture I like. I like rotisserie ribs the best too.

Pros- fit more of everything in the cooker by hanging.
