Old 009 owner size question

elMember

I have had an old 009 that I have owned 5 plus years. I am very happy with it. My log book is about to hit 100 smokes. I have done a huge amount of ribs and pulled pork plus some almonds and fish.

Can I fit a brisket in the 009. If yes, how ? Do I cut it or ask butcher for something special?

If no, what's the next model up that fits a brisket without having to futz around?

Thanks

Guessing your racks are 14 X 14 inches; the other smokers are 14 X 18. You should not have a problem with fitting a flat in the smoker you have but as for a whole brisket (full packer) it is a no-go without doing some surgery. See this link:

If you are thinking about upgrading, get the largest your budget will allow.

Hope this helps.

Some people with a small rack will fold the flat underneath to make it fit or others will lay down an empty coke can underneath the center of the Packard to lift it higher. During the cooking process the brisket will shrink.

I have fit whole packers in my old 009, and 2 at a time. You have to be creative, and scrunch it end to end, and sort of bend it in the middle. These were in the 15 pound range. I liked that old smoker and learned a lot during the 11 years I used it.

So what residential smoker fits a full pocketed with no folding or cutting it in two?

Thanks

All of the Cookshack smokers will do a whole Packer. The 009 will do it if you are good at scrunching and bending. The 025, 045, and 066 are a little larger grate wise, and will do packers with ease.
