10 gallons of beer in 10 gallon mash cooler

Can this be done? Have 31 lbs of grain and not sure if this with the required water will fit?

If you mash at <1qt/gal, you could do it.

You need a .9lb/qt ratio which is rather low but will work. Probably need to double batch sparge as well, depending on if your HLT is big enough for all the sparge water etc. Go for it.
