I got up in the wee hours of the morning today to cook 4 racks of spares and 2 baby backs for a farewell potluck for one of my employees. The grid extender with a 20" upper grid worked great:
I managed to get a cell pic of the last rack as the feeding frenzy was subsiding: I'm really enjoying the grid extender. Thanks again to all who made the group buy a success!

The team member we're losing is an BGE owner. Perhaps I should suggest we add "must own & cook on a BGE" to the candidate qualifications on the job description. You'd meet that qualification!XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

I'm using the 20" porcelain coated grid that came with the BGE two-tier accessory. If I didn't already have a 20" grid, I would probably order a 20" SS grid from CGS (http://shop.ceramicgrillstore.com/20-round-stainless-grid-xl/).XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Here's some details on the ribs & cook.
All ribs were from the local Safeway. 4 racks of "Open Nature" natural ribs (2 bbs, 2 Stl Spares). Other 2 spares were Smithfield that I trimmed to a Stl cut.
Temps during the cook read about 255-270 on an oven thermo on the lower grid. Upper grid was reading some crazy temps around 325-330 on my Maverick which I've had problems with often reading high (even in boiling water check). Dome thermo read around 270-285 and I believe the upper grid was probably in that range. Drip pan was on ceramic feet on top of platesetter and left dry.
These ribs were cooked about 2 hrs (thinner racks) to about 2 hrs 15 mins, foiled and swapped positions between upper & lower grids to balance out temp difference. Foiled for a little under 1 hr w/a little honey & brown sugar. Removed from foil for about 20-30 mins with sauce applied about 10-15 mins before pulling them. Times varied a little depending on the thickness of the racks and when each passed the bend test. I don't take internal temps on ribs.
Rubs used: Simply Marvelous Spicy Apple and Plowboys Yardbird. No mustard or other binder used.
Sauce: approx 80% Blues Hog original, 20% Dreamland BBQ sauce (from the Elfster swap) to thin the sauce a little.
Spritz: no spritz this time as I got a little sleep after putting them on.
Wood: 2 chunks cherry, 1 hickory. Allowed to smoke about 15-20 mins before putting ribs on.
