45 lbs of ribs

[MarkF]

I loaded my #3 with 45LBs go beef and St Louis spare ribs. Set to 235. Cooked for 6 hours.

I know that it is rated for 45 LBs but I was a bit nervous as I've never loaded it up like that before.

Picture is not too good and is of the aftermath.

Mark, I just wanna know how you got then to not fall out of the pan?  LOL!  They look awesome!

Now THAT'S a load of ribs!  Must have smoked them on the Space Station!

Ever time I see that pic and read 45 lbs, I can't help but smile. Great going Mark.

45 lbs of ribs and the empty paper towel core in the picture was worth a good chuckle too.  ;D

Showoff....  The aftermath looks great.

Did you use the rib rack? How many racks is 45 pounds and how did you lay them out in the smoker? I have done eight racks on three shelves in my #3 but am unsure as to what the total weight was. That batch was at 235 for 5 hours.

The SAMS 3 packs are in the 9lb range.  Sounds like 15 racks.  I've done 9 in my #2 & could theoretically fit 11-1/2 with the rack in the top position.
