There aren't any reviews on the forum's equipment page for rib racks

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/products/category/rib-racks

I need one for this weekend so I'll probably get one from Ace Hardware or Homedepot.  Any pros or cons I should know about? or all they all pretty much equal?

Thanks

This one is awesome holds 9 racks , but you need to make sure the ribs are long enough if trimmed ST. Louis style

I have some expanded metal to weld on the bottom when I get time

heres my old one

This one was a PITA. Gave it away with my old GOSM

The rack you gave away was the same I had...note the word HAD!.  Piece of crap for sure!  I currently use one from Sears and it is OK, not perfect but does the job in the Weber Kettle for me.  Still looking for a better one like the rest of us are.  Good luck

I was in a time crunch so I had to settle for what they had at Home Depot. Nothing fancy but it got the job done on my WSM. It also had spikes on the end that you could stand up potatoes or corn on the cob. I don't use it that much because I prfer to do my ribs flat, just break it out when I have a buch of people coming over.

I believe HD sells Weber racks looks good but never used it.

No got it from HERE

Would be even better with a bottom and Teflon coating.

Weber has a decent rack, looks good but never used it.

I was at my local Menards 2 days ago and they had a rack , kind of in between the 2 types pictured in this post , that was marked down . I don't know if it was a sale or a clearance markdown . A lot of the products on that "endcap" were marked with different colored sale price stickers , some were clearance priced and some were just special sale prices .
