Best/Largest Rib Rack for XL Egg?

rprice54

I have the stock BGE rib rack, it's not very big on my XL egg, and the V's are so deep ribs often get stuck and I tear them up getting them out. Lately I've been using a raised grid to smoke 6 racks at a time (3 on the bottom, 3 on top, laid flat), the problem is they cook unevenly, top rack cooking much faster than the bottom, I try to rotate but it's a mess/hassle.

What's a big rack that I could use to smoke 6 rib racks at a time? I see a Traeger rack on Amazon that looks promising, smokewear seems to have a good one as well. I thought I'd check with the experts here first though.

With the Adjustable Rig from the Ceramic Grill Store you could some 9 slabs if needed. That is what I use today and I use it for all my raised direct cooks as well.

yea, I'd like not to spend $200 on the setup. Plus it doesn't eliminate the issue of the top racks cooking faster.

I don't argue that it's nice.

Then the BGE V Rack is your only choice for 6 slabs at the same level.
I personally have no issues with rotating the ribs on the Adj rig. I hate using the V-Rack especially when you have to remove the ribs to glaze. Before I purchased the Adj rig I used the BGE  2 tiered rack

This is the link for the V-Rack

There are other companies that make racks besides BGE- I was hoping to get feedback on other brands.

If you rotate the ribs that's a non-issue.
