Do you turn/Flip ?

[FLBentRider]

When using multiple racks, they should be rotated top to bottom and front to back.

But do you flip / turn the meat on the racks ?

[Wildcat]

I do not flip the meat over. If doing more than one I go top to bottom. Sometimes I will rotate the rack so that the other end gets more heat.

Same as wildcat.  rotate racks bottom to top, and occasionally turn from back to front.

I couldn't submit a vote because the answer is "sometimes".  I did a brisket with the flat on the bottom and the tip on top.  I didn't flip or rotate.  The flat came out a bit burned and crusty on the bottom.  I probably should have rotated but not flipped (keep the fat cap on top).

So, I guess it kinda depends on what you're smoking and how loaded the smoker is.  I have an OBS 4 rack.  If all racks were full, I'd probably rotate top to bottom and front to back.  For Lighter loads, I normally don't bother with it.  It lets the heat out.

I will rotate racks, but never flip/turn the meat!

Flipper, rotater, front to backer. I knew I was a bad person.

If you quit flipping, there's still hope!  ;D

When using the 2 top racks for butts, sometimes I do nothing. It's all good.

Oh dear  :o

I turn the racks around and turn stuff over.

CRG - I think you've pretty much flipped out already.

Carolyn - For me it depends on the food.  I'll always keep the fat/skin on top.  And, go to bed and get some rest so you'll feel better.  Adult beverages probably won't help cure you but when you get numb - well - it doesn't hurt so much.  I have arthritis and I'm trying to kill it from the inside.

Only when I'm using all racks and the bottom is occupied - the bottom can get overdone since so close to the element.

Is that the left hand or the right?

You been peeking in my window or was that a guess?

[Tenpoint5]

Just a guess
