4.0 out of 5 stars Increase the capacity of your BBQ cooker, August 9, 2000

It seems like you can never cook enough barbecued ribs to satisfy family and friends. With the help of a Weber rib rack, you can squeeze a few more slabs into your cooker to keep everyone happy.

This is a pretty standard unit, but well made in typical Weber fashion. The nickel-plated finish makes for easy cleanup. I'd like to see a larger capacity model, but you can always buy two of these if you have room for them in your cooker.

Works great with ribs, but less so with chicken, at least in my experience. Uncooked chicken halves slide in easily, but may become stuck in the slot once cooked.

One tip: this unit holds four slabs of ribs, but if you're careful you can lean a fifth slab up against the front of the rib rack.

4.0 out of 5 stars These must-have items are tough to clean sometimes, February 11, 2002

This review is from: Rib Rack (Lawn & Patio)

The rib racks are sturdy and practical. They are quite handy for stacking food to make the most of grilling space. I use them for ribs, chicken, lamb, portobello mushrooms...
I have two which I use often. On the grill, they don't get too messy. However, on the smoker, they can get pretty caked up. When this happens, you have to be pretty persistent to rub off all the bits in the curved areas. Soak them, and keep a brush and/or a copper scrubbing pad handy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but there are probably better, June 21, 2004

This review is from: Rib Rack (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this rack to use in the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker. Though it is useful, the rack is a bit flimsy. I would rather have one with a more solid feel - the wire is not that thick. Also, the gaps for the racks are a bit small. I often have trouble pulling baby back ribs out of one or more of them, and sometimes the ribs touch each other (not a functional problem, but visually the ribs don't look as good - touching the meat together makes it look spotty in those places). It is functional and is relatively straightforward to clean up. But I would hunt around and find one that has a more solid feel.
