Been there....the short answer: It depends on the guests and what else
you are serving.

Assuming we're talking about true full racks, on the average, I figure
1/2 rack per person if I'm serving appetizers and side dishes.

Using rib racks on my WSM, I've crammed 6 racks. I've read/heard
about rolling the racks to get more on, but I haven't tried it.
