BTW : the technical officer did not remove the top self entirely.
this is an after market version where the front 1/2 flips over
giving you more head room mw/o having to remove the shelf entirely.
these shelve are heavy
thus Id bet 8 chickens might fit at a time.
Ive only had the brisket.
im not that much of a brisket fan. Ive had it in TX at several reputable
BBQ's ( sadly not Franklin's I doubt I could manage a 2 hour line
then find out they sold out !
the Yoder brisket was outstanding , much better than I gad in TX
Costco Choice. Id bet that brisket sliced thin
a la French Dip would be out of this world !
