Loading briskets in the FEC100?

cal 2Member

I should have NEVER shared any of my Que with friends/neighbors, oh well. It seems that maybe the CS smokers have a way of producing food that everyone enjoys, which leads me to my next quest. A load of packer briskets.

I have four 15 lb choice CAB packers that are to be smoked this week.That only leaves one in the freezer, awl shucks! I'm guessing that they may be a tight fit for more than one per shelf? So I'm guessing that I want to smoke them on all four shelves?

Any thoughts,ideas, or words of wisdom from my fellow forum members? I'm so excited!

I'd put one on all four shelves and rotate them top and bottoms to center positions about half way thru the hot portion of your cooking (if you're doing two stage). I put mine in fat side down and flip them over fat side up for the last hour while I crank up the heat a little.

All four shelves, fat side down. After they shink a bit you may be able to move then to two shelves.

Not sure why you flip them Bill, I tried that didn't find any benefits other than making a mess and rubbing off stuff as I moved them.

As always,I have to agree with Smokin'.
I assume you aren't doing much trimming,so they will pretty much fill the racks,early.

If some folks really trimmed them down for comps,then maybe the fit would be easier on a couple shelves
