4 racks of ribs on Large?

leemschu · May 24

I’m looking at trying to cook 4 rack of ribs on my large at one time. Is it even possible? I usually do Malcom reeds method and wrap around a 2-2-1. I figure at best I can do 3 racks vertically and pick up a eggspander kit this weekend and cook the 4th up top? Any one ever do this?

I have cooked 5 on my large. Just need a rib rack.

Wrap them concentrically in a big ol' circle. Sorry I don't have a pix.

I’ve done two (or maybe it was even three) on a MiniMax. Eminently doable. You just have to get more creative with placement.

Haha I’ll figure it out or should I just buy a XL?

This is the way.

The skewered technique de-pic-ted above should work well, as should the ring method - either arranged in a swirl pattern, or bend each rack in a circle, and run a skewer through each to hold its shape.

If you have a two-level setup, you could do two racks per level. Switch around the racks for even cooking. Easy to make a second level grid if you don't have one (Weber grid, carriage bolts, washers, nuts).

Swirl pattern not concentrically!!!

Thanks @Caliking

The easiest way to a second level is to pound three aluminum canned beers and use the empties as support for a second grid. FWIW-

My record is 12 racks in the large using a PSWoo-like custom built rig and years of Tetris training. There’s a pic on the forum in one of my posts.

If there’s a will then there’s a way!

I've done the skewer method with spacers. Worked fine.
