Question for Hunsaker owners

[Hot Spot]

Do you have to cut rib racks so they won't touch the vortex or can the full racks be put on?

I assume you're talking about hanging them? I've not had a problem hanging any when the rack is in the top position and I place the hook through 2-3bones deep into the smaller end. Sometimes the slabs hang close but surprisingly it doesn't seem to overcook the close ones.

Never had to cut a rack. There is plenty of clearance when I hang ribs.

I mainly cook for competitions, so I do trim the racks down to 9 or 10 bones, but at home I have done them without cutting and my experience is the same as Suds.

No need to cut the racks. That is the main reason I replaced my Pit Barrel with the Hunsaker.
