  How many racks?
  Baby backs or spares?
  
  I have easily done 6 full racks of BBs on my large.

  I cut the BB racks into 6/4 bone smaller racks (12).
  Spider with pizza stone on that. Adjustable rig with drip pan on lowest level and large grid on top level. Ribs on edge and stacked in and around a V-rack.
  EDIT: After reviewing the pics, I think I did that cook using the platesetter with the drip pan on spacers and the grid on top of that. My bad :whistle:
  
  Moved them around each time I spritzed.
  
  For saucing, I removed the drip pan and put them bones-down on two layers, using the adjustable rig. Can barely see the lower layer in the pic.
  
  CWM (Car Wash Mike)'s technique is the best! Link below:

  I think the pizza stone that low in the egg creates a pretty good "shadow" of blocked direct heat. One can put pieces of foil to extend the edges under the ribs.

  Chef Wil did those a few years ago, well before TJV started making his accessories. I'm betting it would be easy to go for 40 with his setup.
