How many BBR on a UDS at one time?

[Mirage_Man]

I am nearing completion of my first UDS. I plan to use it to smoke baby back ribs for around 20 people this coming Sunday (Easter). I have 15 racks sitting in the fridge right now. I bought a Traeger 8 slot rib rack and another that holds 6. My question is not whether they'll fit because I know they will with the racks I have. The question is will it work with that many at once?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How many grates and the spacing between is the question first off.

Well I have 2 grates but have not yet drilled the holes for the support bolts. The plan was for one rack 8" from the top lip and another 6" above that. I had also planned on using a diffuser of some kind on another rack mounted closer to the charcoal basket to help even out the temps some.

you should be fine, I have done 8 or 10 at a time.
