Best Rib Rack so Far

itschris · 05-05-2008, 03:40 PM

Hey guys, it's been a month or so since I've been online (busy with a major remodel at home) but I got back to smokin finally. I found this new (at least I've never seen it before) Weber rib rack.

http://www.amazon.com/Weber-3601-Rib-Rack/dp/B00004U9VC

I have been searching and searching for one that really works well that I can grab off a shelf and I finally think my search is over. This one works really really well. It support the whole rack, is low on the grate and doesn't have stupid hinges and slide in or clip on kinda nonsense. At $15, it's a no brainer.

I've got two of them... They work great for pork (can fit in 4 slabs) and not bad for beef (you can only do two slabs at a time because the meat is to close together)...

Also, if you use them for beef ribs (dino bones) do them up-side-down or you may have problems getting the ribs out.

Price is right... Order two!

I've got one that I love. Got it at HD. Haven't seen them there in a while though. You can do 5 slabs if you lean one up front. My biggest complaint is that they break, or at least mine did. I don't use racks anymore, but I recommend this over the many other crap ones out there.

I got 2 of those too. I put them side-by-side and put full racks on them.

This rib rack is nice, but a little pricey. I just got mine last week. Heavy duty/gauge stainless steel.

Very well built rib racks. They got some weight to them. Fits 9 slabs.

Nice! Will that fit in your BDS using all 9 spaces?

I never cared for the Weber rib rack too small IMO. I use it in the Cookshack and cut the ribs in half. Klose or Cookshack look to be pretty hefty.

Hillbilly Home made rib racks.

Been using a couple of those for years!

Does using a rack like that increase cook time? Does it make cooking any different at all? I have been considering bying one of those....

Klose racks fit just right in a large BGE.

My suggestion is to pay the extra $ on good heavy guage SS racks.

I've been real happy with the Klose racks. But I don't use them real often. But sitting out in the elements for a couple of years, and no rust.

Norco,
That rack looks awesome!
did you make that out of old stainless industrial type clothes hangers?
How much $$ for you to make me one?

I find its the exact opposite... at least in my Cimarron. laying for racks flat just impeded air flow way too much and I couldn't smoke a bb to save my life. I finally figured out the problem and started using racks, but couldn't find one that worked well. These weber ones work just perfect. They're sturdy, cheap, and you can get them anywhere. The hold the entire rack just fine.

Divemaster · 05-06-2008, 02:22 PM

Norco, those look great!!!! I may have to make up a couple sets for my self!!!!!
