3.0 out of 5 stars Ribs for Dummies, July 27, 2009

I love ribs, but I hate making them. That is... until I bought this rib rack. It's as close to "set it and forget it" as you can get, if you have a gas grill.

Put the ribs on the rack, get your grill around 300 degrees with indirect heat, and come back in two hours. That's pretty much it, without getting in to different rubs / sauces / smoke.

The design of this rack keeps the heat evenly distributed around your ribs, without grill marks (except for the tips, which may touch the grill). The wide sides make it fairly easy to carry from the grill to your table, but keep in mind, the rack will be VERY HOT. You'll want a couple Weber Barbecue Mitts, and a clear path to your table (and something that can withstand the heat from the rack).

There are two reasons this doesn't get five stars:

1) The space between the slots is fairly limited, and ribs curl a little when they're cooked. Getting cooked baby back ribs out of this is tricky, if you want to keep your rub and sauce intact.

2) You're paying a pretty huge premium for the Weber name and the "Weber Style" design. This would make a very nice gift for someone, with the design, branding, and full-color box it comes in. But from a practical standpoint, it isn't hugely different from the Weber 6406 Rib Rack, which costs less than half as much.

If you're a fan of the Weber brand or the Style designs, this is pretty nice. But if you're just looking for something functional, the side handles are the only thing you gain over the less expensive model from Weber.

5.0 out of 5 stars This rib rack is Stainless Steel AND has adjustable slats, May 29, 2010

This rib rack, Weber 6453 Style Rib Rack, is stainless steel and has adjustable slats. The other Weber rib rack, Weber 6406 Rib Rack, is nickel-plated steel and does not have adjustable slats. That is why one rack is more expensive than the other.

If you're looking for a rib rack to take some abuse, not rust, and willing to pay a premium, this is the rack for you. The only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. However, I have the Weber 4431001 Spirit E-320 Propane Grill, Black along with Weber Style 6435 Professional-Grade Grill Pan and the rib rack fits perfectly with the grill pan. If you're looking for something that is built to fit with your Weber grill, and last pretty much forever, you can't go wrong with that trio, it's a match made in heaven!
