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.

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.

Best Deals for Rib Rack

This is a good rack; it cleaned pretty easily and a nice compact size but the ribs are just a bit too close together (I cook mainly full spare ribs). I have rib racks from Steven Raichlen that are perfect. The more spacious racks allow for better basting, heat distribution and more even cooking. When the meat touches like in the Weber rack, the meat doesn't cook as well.

Honest reviews on Rib Rack

I normally BBQ 8-9 racks of ribs at once, for our annual party. Thought that this Weber rib rack would make it easier. However, I found that it was more of a hinderance than a help. I like to baste my ribs with lots of sauce, several times, so I have to remove them from the rack for basting. Getting the ribs in and out of this rack was a pain. If you're going to load in the ribs and just let them slow cook, then it might be useful. But, that's not me, so I gave my Weber Rib Rack to my brother-in-law.

I had purchased a Brinkman Electric Smoker and needed some rib racks. I looked around and found the cheapest price for these racks was from Amazon (which included free shipping since I purchased 2 racks). I bought 6 racks of ribs, cutting each rack in half. They all arranged perfectly on the racks and we had some great ribs. Clean up was easy too. All the grease came off and they are ready to use again. Good construction on the racks. I definetly got my money's worth on this product.
