Pounds per sq/in of cooking space

[mallen32]

Hey everyone...just got a new masterbuilt propane smoker and I'm trying to figure out about how much meat I can smoke at a time. I know it would depend on each individual cut of meat, but is there a generic formula to determine about how many pounds you can fit per square inch of cooking space? My smoker has about 1300 sq/in of cooking space. Any advice is appreciated!

If this is your unit, it says you can smoke 100# of food...

13# per in2 x 1300= 16,900lbs!!!!!

More like .076 per in2 but i treat it like a priority mail box....if it fits, it ships. As long as it will hold temp and the meat is not touching you should be good to go. I've had 8  9lb butts in mine and it did OK.
