I noticed that this batch behaved differently that any others I've done. I took longer. The pieces in the back dried faster than the ones in the front. When I rotated the racks and also turned them front to back. Only thing different is a had a little more meat, 2 extra racks. The finished product is just fine though.

When I'm doing 12 racks in my OBS I leave a gap in the center about 2" wide and it helps to get even drying.

Front to back in the center. When the last bit of smoke stops the moisture coming out of the vent looks like smoke...

Got a question Raf, I would guess it probably doesnt matter but aren't your racks in upside down? Or maybe I'm doing it wrong. Or is there a reason you load them like that? I guess with jerky like you made, it works, looks great.

now that I'm thinking about it, on a 6 rack smoker like yours you could put 12 racks in if 6 were loaded on the bottom of the rack and 6 were loaded inside. You could get 2 trays to a rail. Neat idea. I had to run 2 loads last time. Think I'll try this at some point to see if that works.

that is exactly how you double your capacity, invert 1 rack on top of each other rack, works great for jerky and fish
