I did my first poor mans brisket on the Traeger; smoked chuck roast.
Cooks basically identically to a brisket and turned out awesome.
I’d share a photo, but I suck at posting pics to this website from my iPad.

Danger Close Knows No Atheists.
Food turned out great, space is too small for original plan.
Grilling, smoking, general meal prep ok. Canning configuration too tight.
Swapping out smoker and grill for unit that will do both helps but during canning season will have to expand to surrounding patio.

I take it your smoker is a bit shorter than those racks? ;-)
I hope they tasted as good as they look!
My brisket turned out pretty good yesterday. Took longer than expected to get to final temp, so we ate later than expected, but it tasted great. Was busy entertaining family so I wasn't able to grab a picture.
I need to go back to the 'midnight' method and let the smoker do the work overnight.

You can use something like this, when there's more ribs than room on the grate

I have a vertical rack for my Traeger Lil' Tex Elite. I can get 3 full racks on the grill, then 2 above that, and another 2 above that.

Access is a bit difficult, but it gets the job done without having to get a bigger boat.

Yup, was using an 18" round "egg" style setup. Used a rack similar to the one Kazoo linked. Normally I use my long offset smoker, but the egg is so much easier, holds a much more stable temp.
And they came out awesome. My best ribs so far.
Recently added this to my Egg smoker (mine is a Vision Pro S) to greatly improve temperature control / stability.
