i'm looking at getting a 24" smoke vault myself (as if i need one more smoker

) and have searched alot of post and threads and can't really get a good handle on the capacity of this smoker. if i had 7 to 8 lb butts how many will it hold, and using rib racks how many would each rack hold.
how many butts per rack. any help would be great thanks ahead of time.

Sorry I missed your questions. The Smoke Vault will hold a lot of meat. I have done six butts at one time with room for at least three more. Don't know about the ribs as I've only done three at a time. Hope this helps.

I really like my SMV. I use it all the time. With the proper arrangement of the meat, I don't see a problem with doing the amount you desire to do. I tried to post a pic of mine with the butts in, but I got something screwed up with my copy and paste again.

Good luck.

Just to give you an idea of the capacity, here's a couple of pics. As you can see, there is a lot of room in the 24".

Smoking 6 pork butts in the SV is very impressive.  I assume the large pan under the butts is for your wood chips?  Approximately how long did it take to smoke these babies?
