Cooking rack or grates for the BSKD

[offa1a]

The smoker only came with two actual cooking racks for the smoker along with the rib rack and a bunch of other spikes and odd looking stuff that I'm not sure I'm going to use. Does anyone know where I can get some regular racks without going to Brinkman? It seems like ribs do just as well on a flat rack as the rib rack. I had one heck of a time using the rib rack last time.

If I remeber correctly, the brinkman uses an 18" grate. You can get those at local mega stores like Home Depot or Lowes maybe even WalMart. If you want to pay a little more for them go to BBQ Galore.

The racks are smaller than 18", 15 7/8" wx 16"d is the actual size. If you can find some racks that are narrower, you can use the hanging rods to set them on and make them work (I have a couple I use this way).

Brinkmann and/or Char-Broil is the best source. If memory serves correctly, C/B are a bit cheaper.

The rib rack isn't very useful but the frame can aslo be used to support an undersized shelf as well.

Sweet! Grate idea(pun intended) Thanks Scott!

the L-shaped bolts you embed in concrete walls for attaching wood beams also work just like the hanging rods that kcquer described.
