We all know the 3-2-1 method for ribs ... how about 3-2-6-1?

I'm making 8 racks of spares for my NYE party tomorrow and I have a large BGE.  I love the 3-2-1 method but I can't fit more than 4 racks on my Egg, so I'll do 4 racks at a time.

For the first round I'll do the 3 hrs on a rib rack, then 2 hrs in HDAF, then to maintain texture I was going to pull round 1 and allow them to cool.  Then, begin round 2 with 4 racks and do the usual 3-2-1 method and serve, and once these are pulled I would return the round 1 ribs to the Egg for the final hour.

Does it sound like this would work?  Or does anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks!!

    Six racks of ribs vertically. No wrap, straight thru. Lay the 2 additional ribs on top and flip flip flip.

    You can roll the racks too.

    We had a big party a few years ago and I cooked 12 racks, cooking 3-1 on the egg and then heated in the oven the next day in a couple of large rectangular stainless pans for the party.  The oven was set for 250º and it was in the oven for about an hour and a few minutes.  I cut each rib into 1/3 and splashed them with a little sauce before reheating.
    It worked out great, I think 2 hours in foil might be a bit long.
