How many racks of baby back ribs can I cook at once?

I have a weber gas grill. I've cooked 2 slabs of baby back ribs, only using the back burner. That is good for 4-6 people. I would like to cook maybe 4 slabs or more. However I do not have the grill space. Can I stack the ribs directly on top of each other? Has anybody had luck with that? How else can I cook more ribs?

    go to orchard supply hardware, home depot, wal mart, or a bbq store and buy a couple of rib racks. I hace a charbroil pro, charcoal smoker and can use 4 rib racks filled with ribs with the lid closed. thats 16 racks of ribs! you can maybe fit 2 racks but measure your grill to be sure.

    When i prepare my ribs, I usually use the oven to do most of the dirty work.

    Heat the oven to 350 and marinate your ribs in your favorite sauce. Try to avoid sugars for your marinade as these will burn quickly before you want them to!

    Cook up the ribs in the oven on a large tray and keep the ribs covered in juices and also cover the whole thing in foil.

    Cook for about 45 minutes to an hour... in your case, I'd go longer as you have more meat to prepare.

    Once the ribs are nice and tender, they are ready to go on the grill. This stage shouldnt take too long (about 15 mins at most) , all you are doing here is adding your bbq sauce, which can now have plenty of sugars to give that beautiful burnt-on sticky goodness.

    ONe suggestion if you dont have enough room for all 4 slabs, try placing them on their sides standing up... you may be able to pull that off.... but if all else fails, tell your guests that the wait will be worth it. Enjoy.
