Guys with big green eggs or similar. I bought the 2 layer system so I can cook 2 racks of ribs. Should I rotate them when smoking or can they stay out for the cook? I’m worried about the difference in height and temp?

I think I would rotate them but maybe not if the temp is the same on both racks. Do you gave a way to put independent temp probes to check the temps as a test?
I’ll build a fire today and see. Maybe I’ll grab some salmon to smoke at the same time. 
You can put 2 on the top grate but I've never had a problem with them on different grates. If you're using a diffuser (conveggtor or whatever they call it now) it should be fine. I've done 2 pork butts on separate racks and they were done within 15 minutes of each other
I use a rib rack in mine. the ribs sit vertically in the rack, which holds 5 full slabs, and then I can lay one or two more across the top. No second grate needed

Good idea never let a good fire go to wasteI’ll build a fire today and see. Maybe I’ll grab some salmon to smoke at the same time.

So I’m doing a test fire for 200 degrees and 2 levels of cooking. Indirect heat thing is in egg and the 2 level grate system.
map my grate temp is different than some temp. If my recipe says 200 degrees and the grates r hotter what should I go by? Or am I splitting hairs.
Top grate is 225 ish and bottom grate is 219 ish and dome is 200.
I’m not rotating food. We r talking 4-6 degree diff.
But what temp should I go by for cooking?
grate or dome? Causethere is a difference?

If you go by the "TFP" method for BBQ over at amazingribs.com, the dome thermometer is like pool store results. It can be off as much as 75 degrees.
Ya I know I figured. Bit my food has been coming out fine so I almost don’t want to mess things up. Well my grate temps ended up being only 2-3 degree difference so I’m solid there. Maybe I’ll aim low on the 200 degree side.
Yes and in that temp range most meat is forgiving. It's the internal temp of the meat that counts. Good luck with the cook. Hopefully that line of storms missed you.
I’m cooking tomorrow. I experimented today. Lol
We just got steady raintoday Enough to ruin the river for fishing. Luckily we fished last night. Perfect night!

I’m having a sangria. It’s ok. They add carbonation with co2. That kinda ruined it. I’m going to try the cosmo next.
go ahead someone say something. I’m secure in my manhood. I’ll drink a cosmo. I’ll order one out even. Lol
Its a cool idea. Man we r getting so lazy as humans. Lol

Use the grate probes for true temp, but 225 or 250 will effect how long it takes, but not the results. On mine I get the dome thermometer to 250, open a beer, and relax! It'll turn out great no matter what temp you go at
