@rmeissner2790 i have done the honey bbq, the amount of seasoning does affect how wet it gets. 2 qts is the max. With 2 qts you will be good with the amount of seasoning in the honey bbq. Less seasoning you could drop it down to 1.5 qts. Even though i dont. Honey bbq also gives a little bit of slippery texture which helps in stuffing. As well as sure gel if you are using that. Again, these measurements are for 25lbs. Adjust if doing smaller batches
