How to fit and cook 4 butts on a large egg

All:
We are having guests over to the house next week and pulled pork will be the fare. I need to cook four 8 to 10 pound butts.....32 to 40 pounds off meat in total on a large BGE. I have to cook all of them at the same time also. I won't be able to use the V rack this time due to space constraints. Is it possible to stack the butts on top of one another? The grill extender I have from BGE isn't tall enough. I have a couple of old bricks in the garage. Could I put them on the grid and then place another smaller grid on top of that? Is it safe to use old bricks in the BGE? I don't want to poison anyone.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.....if you have pics of home made extenders that would be great also.
My body is in Atlanta but my mind is on a sunny, warm beach..........

I have the BGE extender that turns in the middle and I was able to cook 4 butts at one time. It just took a little cramming and adjusting but I got the job done on all 48 with that set up. If I ever have to do that again I will be buying the swing rack or adjustable rig. ;;)Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl !

I am doing a 8.5 pounder right now. If it were me doing four that size I would us my extender it is high enough barely but it would work. The extender I have is the three tier one. Just use the top tier.

Seems like there would be an accessory that is essentially a pole that sticks straight up from the middle of the egg with 4 prongs (i.e. meat hooks) pointing downward that you could secure 4 butts standing up..LBGE
