    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    I think in general cook times are a bit shorter on a lang due to the reverse flow and the metal grate that gives off heat as well.

    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    There's definitely some wiggle room as far as placement on the big smoker. I generally put the briskets in the middle. The two briskets just barely fit in the smaller smoker so I didn't have a choice on placement. I'm just thinking there's alot more room in the bigger one for heat to move...

    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    I understand about cooking at a slow rate. All the briskets I did came out great. No issue there. I just thought it was kinda strange the difference in cook times. All were cooked the same way, at the same temp. Just that the ones in my smaller smoker got done alot faster.

    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    I have a bbq business and also do catering. Recently, I noticed my briskets cooked at noticeably different rates. I cooked 2 16 lb briskets (after trimming) on my 82" reverse flow smoker. I start at 225 for about 4 hours then bump up to 250-275 for the duration of the cook. I don't wrap...

    Hello from Gilroy, Calif. My name is Mike

    Hi everyone. I've been smoking meats for many years now. I have two Lang reverse flow smokers. A 36" in my backyard, and an 82" at my BBQ business. Besides smoking meats, I like to golf, ride my motorcycle, and enjoy a good martini.
