Not sure what your question is exactly.

I need to smoke 36 pounds of pork loin at once in my sn045 cookshack does it take longer to do that much at once oposed to 1 loin at a time? thanks

does it take longer when you have all 3 racks full ?

Yes. Placing 36 lbs of meat vs 12 lbs in the smoker will create a heat sink effect, requirng additional time for the smoker to come up to temp. In your case, I'm guessing the additional cook time would be 30-45 minutes.

Hope that helps.

When folks ask questions like yours the first thing I do is refer to the link on the bottom of the page that takes you to the Cookshack products. The Cookshack Barbeque and Smoke Cooking Center. I looked up residential and them SM045 to find out it's advertised capacity, 35 pounds.

So Max, as usual, is correct. That much product will create a little bit of a heat sink effect. Not a bad thing, add the time Max suggested. Me, I'd use maple or apple wood. It ought to be marvelous !!

Two things you can do to minimize the extra recovery time:

- bring the smoker up to temp before loading

- have meat at room temp for 45-60 minutes before loading. Of course, if you live in Death Valley you need to use common sense in terms of food safety
