Prime Rib Question

 After looking at some of the pictures on this forum I bought two prime ribs to cook for tonight. They are too big to fit on the large egg at the same time. I’m looking for help on strategies of how to cook both of these for dinner for friends tonight. I don’t know if pulling the first one at 120 degrees and searing it after the second one will turn out. Any thoughts are appreciated.

    The simple answer would be a second cooking grate.  If you have or can buy a cheap weber grate that will fit ( 17 " max diameter); drink three aluminum canned beers and use the empty cans to support the second grate.
    If you open the packages and tie the roasts tight into as close of a round appearance as you can get, will they fit side-by-side?
    If your plan is to do a low&slow with a quick sear at the end then the time to cook the second one (if you pull the first at 120*F) will be quite lengthy. 
    You could cook and pull the first (at 120*F or so) then put it in your oven in a tightly foiled pan and cycle the oven on and off in an attempt to maintain the low temp until ready for the final sear-just  a thought as I have never tried that approach.
    Perhaps some others will be along.

    Are you sure they both will not fit? Stand them on end - no need to lay them flat.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Once you tie them up to make them round they will fit
