DIY Rib Racks

[Kickback BBQ on Guam]

Anybody had any luck making rib racks? I hate losing an entire rack to two or three racks of ribs. Most of the ones I've seen at HD and such are too small and they are way too proud of them. I've purchased a couple different types and have yet to be satisfied with the end result. Any help would be appreciated.

When I need rack space or have several racks to cook up I use bamboo kabob skewers to pin them together and space them apart.

Man I wish I knew how to post photos here. I had a buddy weld me some out of 1/8 inch stainless round bar. They are 14 inches wide, 5 inches tall and the 1 1/2 inches between each rib. They fit perfectly in my BGE.

I sure would like to see that rack, sounds like what I'm after.

So you have them standing up like they would be in a rack?

Ever tried to just coil the racks of ribs. I have not done it, but there are some that put up to 6 racks of SLC's on a 22.5 WSM shelf.

Ikea has these. Stainless and adjustable. Remove the bumpers before using.

Nice! That looks like a pretty easy solution that costs nothing.

What are the dimensions of that Dad? Will it support 6 racks of SLC ribs?

I just take a 2nd grill grate and flip it upside down over the original grill grate works great.

This is the rib rack that I designed & made for my Green Mountain Grill (Jim Bowie) I smoke 9 racks only using half the space. I can now put chicken on the other half of my grill surface.

I'm a fabricator and I made this on my CNC laser cutter and tig welded it together. Works great. Materials used is 3/16" 304 grade stainless steel.
