I have done 6 racks before, I've even done 12 racks...but I want to attempt 18 racks of ribs in my 18" WSM for the Superbowl next weekend.

I added a center grate, so all 18 racks should fit, 6 per grate.

Other than needing more fuel, what are some of the other things I should look out for or be wary of when attempting this size cook on a 18" WSM?

Thanks!
 
I have no idea on what you should look out for.
But I would definitely go for it!!

Are you rolling and pinning to get 6 per rack?

The most I could figure out how to do laid flat (though cut in half) was using a rib rack and doing 3 1/2 racks per grate.
 
Wow!

I'm curious to your plan. Are you planning on rotating top rack to bottom and left to right, etc during the cooking? Or can you leave them all in the same place and let her go? Are you anticipating perfectly even cooking on all racks?


Can't wait to see pics!

In the past, I've done six on the bottom grate and six on the top grate, using rib racks, and had no problems.

I'm just wondering if adding that center grate is gonna screw everything up.

Oh well....let's see how it goes.
 
I've done 12 racks in an 18 before but it was tight and they were rolled/pinned. I'm trying to think of how you'd have space for an additional rack with 6 racks of ribs on the lower grate.

I think its time to go get a 22 lol...now that sucker has space!!

let us know how you do it!!
