Title: How many pounds of snack sticks in smoker?
Post by: devo on March 22, 2011, 07:42:26 AM
I'm planning on doing snack sticks in the 4 rack smoker sometime next week. My question is how many pounds would be the max to fit into the 4 rack using the hanging method? I don't want to use the racks.

I don't think the amount of meat is the issue.   The question is how many can you get in without them touching each other.    If you had a 2nd set of racks you can double the capacity.   Invert one rack so you have 2 on each ledge.

I have a custom rack that I hang my sausage from with hooks. The most I can get in without a mess is about 8lbs. I pushed it once and crammed 10lbs in, but it was alot of moisture and it kind of made a mess.

Yep 5lbs in 4 rack and 10lbs in 6 rack something like 8hours for 5 pounds and 16 for 10 pounds.
