Smokin-it #1 or #2

[jmkdae]

Followup to my Roll Call post.

Have read pretty much all the threads on the Smokin-it smoker. Seems like the one I want.

Usually cook for 2-4 people. Would be an exception to cook for more.

What I would like to know from folks that have experience is the following:

How many or what size in lbs can I fit in each?

1. Ribs - assume that the will be cut in half for both it seems. How many racks?

2. Brisket - Likely cut in half as well. What size?

3. Turkey - 12 lbs seems about the size for the #1. What about the #2

4. Beer can chicken or spatchcocked chickens?

Hopefully this might help some other folks as well.

I have a #2 and it feeds 4 to 6 easily. I use a weber rib rack in it and once I St Louis cut my ribs, they just fit.

I like having the larger size for doing smoked Salon and jerky.

I have the Smokin-it #2 w/5 shelves. I cut off the last 2" of each rib rack & put them on the top shelf. The other shelves hold 8 shortened racks (2 each) & I get plenty of samples. That's a bunch 'o ribs, & plenty of room for circulation. Works for me!
