How many 6 to 8 pound butts can you do on a UDS at once? i am thinking somewhere between 8 and 10 will fit, but am not sure. I am about to build 2 of them, both with dome lids. I want to use them pretty exclusively for butts to start with (doing a scout fundraiser). Any input would be appreciated.

Also be careful about two really full racks of butts. That's a lot of fat dripping into the coals. I've read of folks over at the Brethren practically putting their fire out because of too much dripping fat in the coals from a super loaded double rack UDS.

I am planning on trimming most of the fat cap to help with drippage. I think I might try a reflector plate over the coals or something like that as well.
Thanks for the help. looks like 4 to a rack it is.Avid Meatatarian
