Lots of BB Ribs on my Large

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
So the Fam is coming to my house for Fathers Day. The only task this father is being asked to handle is cooking some meat (for 10).
I am thinking ribs, baby backs. However, I currently have just an available setup of only a single grid. I have 2 v-racks. I was thinking that with side dishes, 5-6 slabs would be sufficient. I have a woo2 on the way but won't be here in time.

Any ideas on how to load up my egg with 6 slabs?

Also, a coworker of mine is attending the cooking class at the M.S. tonight, so I could have her pick up a CI grid for me which I have been wanting anyway.

Thanks!

    You could buy a cheapo rib rack from one of those kitchen stores- that will hold 4 racks- then lean the other two racks against it.

    Or you can build yourself a raised grid with an 18" dia Weber replacement grid and (3) 4" carriage bolts.

    I've seen folks lay 3 racks on the bottom grid and 3 racks on the top. Never tried it myself. But I did cook (6) racks of BB in my Large with (4) in a cheapo rack and (2)leaning against the sides.

    I cooked three racks of St. Loius cut spares a few weeks ago.Depending on the size of the ribs you can lay three flat. Use the plate setter and make a cheapo raised grate. If they won't fit, cook 2 whole and cut the third in half. Place the cut one on the outsides. You should be fine either way.

    Seems I remember seeing a pic of ribs cut 3 wide, standing verticle with skewers running through 3-4 sets, providing the stability.

    You know one of these V-racks are rather versatile - when sitting like this it will hold a large roast or turkey up out of a drip pan.

    But when flipped over you it will hold 6 racks of BB on edge. Works for me!

    I have never tried it, but have heard of folks tying them in a circle.! Essentially rolling them up and securing them with a toothpick or wrapped with string.

    Like I said, never tried it myself.

    all you have to do is get them in there. i believe this is the most ever attempted. with an adjustable rig you could probably do alot more. i believe these were done direct but was never certian.
