Pork shoulders on Masterbuilt 1050

[JLinza]

I've had (1) 12lb brisket, (2) 6lb butts and (2) 1/2 pans of chicken thighs on the 1050. It will hold a lot of grub.

Nice, did it increase your cook time by alot or was it even noticeable

How many racks did you get on yours?

I was able to get seven racks of babybacks on. Four on the main grate and one and a half on each shelf.

Not that I noticed. Only opened the lid once in the first 2 hrs for the chicken.
And the MBGF has a very quick recovery time.

Good to know that was my biggest worry, and you're right the recovery time is very good

What it will probably do is increase your fuel consumption. The PID controller will work to maintain your set temperature no matter how much food you have on there. But the more food you have on there, the more fuel it will take for the controller to maintain the temp you set. So your temp and cook time should be fine, but you may notice you're burning more fuel when you've got a full smoker.
