Tomorrow I plan on putting 3 racks of baby backs on the kettle. First time smoking on the kettle. My worry is that 3 racks will not fit on the kettle. I am using the SNS insert for this. My thoughts are to take the ribs and make a circle out of them and put a skewer through them to hold them like that. I have done this with the WSM when I had that. Then flip them half way through the cook.
Sounds like a great plan to me, especially after looking at your pic. You probably thought of this already, but Iβd also rotate them a few times around the grate.

If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
I bought a Weber rib rack at Home Depot for like $15, and use it to cook up to 5 slabs of ribs at a time, standing on edge, in my kettle with the SNS. Works great. I flip them over about halfway through the cook, and if doing 3 racks of ribs, leave an empty slot in the rack beween them.

I too have a rib rack, but thatβs a cool idea. Now that you have me free-thinking it, Iβm wondering why you couldnβt just lean them against each otherβ¦
texastweeter ok - I'll let you be the first to experiment. Pour a bowl of cheerios, sprinkle well with MMD, then add milk and liquid smoke, and report back on the experience...
