I am wondering what is the most that you have had in a WSM at one time.

I'm smokin' 6 butts this weekend. I'd like to smoke them all at once. I'm smokin' the butts for some guys at work for a small donation.

I think the most butts I have done on my WSM was 4-9 lb. butts, 2 low 2 up top.

In the very near future, I intend on doing a packer on the top & a butt on the bottom.

Few weeks back had 2 trimmed racks of spares, the skirts from the spares, a good size pan of Wicked beans, and 2 family packs of chicken leg quarters. I would think you should have plenty of room to do 3 butts on each rack if you have a 22.5" WSM, a 18" might be a squeeze.

I read somewhere that people have done that the other way around, to use pork-dripping tastiness to keep the brisket moist. No idea if it actually works like that but I read it on the Internets so it has to be true.
