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:
