How many St. Louis racks fit on an xl?

teaching a class on an xl Saturday and trying to figure out the timing. I need to fit 4 racks with standard platesetter setup. Will they fit flat without a rib rack?

Here’s a pic with 3 - after some shrinkage. I started them on 2 different levels because with 3 on one level there would not have been any space between them.

Don’t don’t think so unless you stand them on side and curve them. I’d have a rib rack at the ready.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Where is this class, and how can I get in on it?

He sells eggspanders there. May get him to donate one to the cause.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

It’s at a local kitchen store/egg dealer in my neighborhood (west austin). If you are in Austin, $69 will get you there. They do tend to sell out early though.mickstephen said:Where is this class, and how can I get in on it?Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
This is what I needed to see. I drew a 24” circle in some butcher paper and came up with 3 racks as well. In only have one rack so I couldn’t tell if one would fit some other way. This is pretty much what I thought perfect pic though. Thanks!Foghorn said:Here’s a pic with 3 - after some shrinkage.

Looks like there was one spot left in the class. Now it’s mine.

And it’s only $59. Thought he charged $69. Even better. Brisket class on 8/17. Will be cooking wagyu brisket for that one.mickstephen said:

I have done 7 racks on the XL, but used rib holding racks to do it.

Laying properly flat with an extender grate - 3-4. Without a 2nd level grate then 2 unless you don't mind them sitting over the platesetter's afterburners.

Is cutting 2 of the racks in half an option? Buggers up the aesthetics, and the half racks need to be tended a bit, but would get it done.
Weber used to make a rib rack that I liked the best, because it was longer (wider?) than most rib racks. Academy has something similar now.

This would be the direction I would take. Maybe they could sell the eggspander at a discount to one of the attendees. IMO - it is way easier and more consistent to do ribs flat.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:He sells eggspanders there. May get him to donate one to the cause.Memphis, TN

That’s a great airflow and smoke set up. Not practical. Just looks cool.Carolina Q said:On a large...Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga -
That is exactly why I bought the AR. I had a charity thing I had to figure out and do 12.ColtsFan said:9 comfortable with an AR
The AR got me there. It was tight and I had to move a couple racks around during the cook, but I got it there.

Maybe, but the guy who did it it said it worked just fine. Never tried it myself.bgebrent said:
