Smoking Pork Ribs

This post is rather specific and concerns a food event I am helping with this weekend for 30+ guests. My job is to smoke 12+ racks of pork ribs in a smoker designed for 4 racks. Rather than cutting the racks in half and placing 2 halves on each shelf (4 total shelves) I have modified my smoker to hang 6 rib full racks at a time x 2 consecutive batches. This will reduce the total time from 18 hours to 10 hours. It’s complicated...because the second stage of smoking is wrapping in foil so I will move the first 6 racks to the bbq kettle for 2 hours then unwrapped and back to the smoker for 1 more hour while I put the 2nd 6 racks in the smoker same as first 6. I am posting some pictures of my modification to hook setup. Next post will be the process and results.
Wish me luck!
