3 people? should take one whole rack...
Night before: pull the membrane off the back...put a thin layer of mustard on both sides of the ribs (never taste it)..put rub on each side.
i use a few different rubs but a good rub to start with a Weber brand rub or if you want Salt pepper onion garlic sugar or even Jeff's rub that you can buy from this website...
put in the fridge overnight
put some charcoal to one side of your kettle grill...put some pellets and/or chunks (not soaked) on the charcoal --3-4 pieces or a handful of pellets ought to do it
Light about 8-10 pieces of charcoal in a chimney ...put 4-5 lit charcoal on each side of the unlit charcoal in the kettle
once it gets going a little put your ribs on the rack opposite side of the lit charcoal and put on the lid..leave for about 2 hours
go back and wrap the ribs in foil with apple juice apple cider vinegar 50/50 mix (just a tablespoons or two's worth) leave for 1 hour
Then unwrap...do the bend test...if you pick up with tongs and it bends well then its about done or use a thermometer (195 bite through- 205 for fall off the bone degrees)
if they are close, brush with a light sauce ( your favorite) and move closer to the heat for 20-30 minutes. if they are not where you want them wrap for 30 more minutes and repeat
let rest for 30 minutes or so and slice ....its easier to slice ribs when you are looking at the back
This is how i would do it Your Mileage may vary!

These pics are from a spare rib cook,
Grill set up-
Applying the rub-
Lump charcoal, fully lit and placed at the end of each row of briquettes-
Meat in the middle-
Temp-
Done in about 3.5-4 hours, it was a while ago so that's a guess, YMMV-
