RT-1070 Maximum Capacity (Above factory specs)

I have this ever expanding party coming up in two weeks. A little concerned about quantity, but I have done (successfully) 6 racks across the top, so I guess I'll be OK. The last gathering was at the neighbors down the street and I can't repeat what he served - so I'm doing ribs. 18 people confirmed (so far) - so I'm thinking 5 top rack 5 bottom rack, even though the website says I can only do 8 racks. Anyway - I'll come back with pictures (in 2 weekends) but I want to know how overstuffed some of you (y'all?) have gotten with your grills.

I’m overstuffed with grills and short on people I would have over, so I don’t have that problem!

I’ve been to an event where the host had cooked some racks to 95% done in advance, then put them on the smoker to finish/heat up as space was available.

Could look into a rib rack to do them sideways, don’t know your dimensions though.

My dimensions.... Little taller and little heavier than Homer Simpson.
Thing about racks is - I haven't had one that's spread out far enough. Fill it up and the ribs are touching.
