Hello all,
I currently have a 24" Smoke Vault and I can easily smoke six 8-9 pound Boston Butts (I put three on a rack). Can the Bradley handle that much? Thanks.

I can get one pork butt on a rack. So four or six, depending on which smoker, four or six rack.
Of course it depends on shape but 40lbs shouldn't be a problem.
I have put ~32lbs in several times, and I consider that to be the limit.
Any bigger and they will usually touch, creating a solid column of meat. Not a good thing.
I usually resort to standing them on edge and doing two to a rack, like this:
