Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Large cuts of meat like ribs, roasts, and whole chickens call for the slow, even heat of indirect cooking. But arranging hot coals around the outside of a grill can be messy and difficult. This pair of metal rails solves the problem by holding charcoal in place against the side of a kettle grill, allowing you to place a drip pan in the center to capture juice for sauces and prevent dangerous flare-ups. Heat from the racks rises, reflects off the inside of the grill, and surrounds the meat with heat from all sides--much like a convection oven but with the improved texture and flavor of grilled food. To adjust the temperature inside the grill, simply add more coals. These charcoal rails fit all kettle grills 18-1/2 inches in diameter or larger. --Mary Park

5.0 out of 5 stars Charcoal Rails, June 16, 2000

By	Sam L. Missimer (Brumfuss, NJ) - See all my reviews

If you have a Weber or other kettle grill, these are a must have. Cheap too.

Keeping the coals contained for indirect cooking make it easy to add coal, either with or hinged grill, or by lifting the edge of a regular Grill.

Grab some drip pans too, (but wash 'em, don't throw 'em away each time) and go slow smoke something yummy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what you need for indirect cooking., April 19, 2005

By	Steven (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

I love these little buggers, they keep the charcoal on the side of my One-Touch that way I can do some nice indirect cooking. Also, I use them for direct grilling when I grill for just myself and my wife. For direct grilling I move them a little bit closer together and I put the charcoal in the middle that way they contain the charcoal in a smaller area allowing me to use much less charcoal and still get a lot of heat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Essential, May 26, 2006

By	Robert O'shaughnessy (Columbus, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These two ingenious pieces of wire are an absolutely essential part of any Weber Kettle. In addition to allowing you to do easy indirect cooking, they can be used to easily "zone" your grill by holding the coals in the center or off to one side. They are very easy to move, and don't limit the amount of airflow around the coals like the useless baskets that come with the Performer and other high-end kettles.
