Quick question on my custom smoker build

[bjarolim]

Ok so I have 3 racks on right now and was planning on 4(original plan was to have 1 more at the top).

I will be putting in tuning plate rig above FB-CC rig and I need to know if 3 is capacity for this smoker or if I can put another rack up top or on bottom or both.

The soap stone lines indicate where the racks would go on top and on bottom. I have 4 inch spaces between racks and holding true to that on the as seen measurements.

I won't be massive big cooks(not yet at least), so 3 I'm sure will suffice for now but I figure of I can add more now rather than later would be my best bet at this point and fab time.

Thanks for the input!!!!

Almost forgot to add picture of just what it looks like in general.

I would add the 2 locations and one more grate. That way you can increase space between racks if needed, run a catch pan on bottom rack if needed. More versatility. You made the grates removable/slide out , right ? I wouldn't want permanent grates - especially that close together.

They slide in an out. only the angle iron is welded in, not the racks themselves
