    Hey all, new to smoking and not sure about the smoker I want to buy. It's an upright propane smoker, but its not very wide. Doesn't seem wide enough to lay a rack of ribs or brisket flat on the rack. Its probably about 16-18" wide inside. How would you smoke a rack of ribs or brisket in this...
