A full 32 lb hopper runs roughly 16–32 hours at smoking heat (1–2 lb per hour, our estimate), so an overnight cook fits on one fill. The 444 sq in upper rack holds finished food warm or toasts buns, but it is not counted in the batch math. It is 15 sq in smaller than the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker 22" (726 sq in), which fits 27 burgers per batch against 26 here.
