I just read in the Open Forum section in the active brisket thread Donna's statement about the smokette capacity being 22#. I have also read this in the advertising, etc. My question: This past weekend I smoked nearly 19# of trimed butts in my smokette using only the top two racks (turned out great as usual). Physically, I could have fit much more on the bottom rack and still maintained adequate spacing for air flow. Is the 22# limit tied to cooking efficiency, general rule of thumb, structural or something else. I don't expect to need to exceed 22# and the smokette always performs like a champ. It's just a curiosity.
