Multiple ribs on a MBGE?

 Been a while.....

I'm looking to do multiple racks of ribs if possible on my MBGE. I was looking at two racks. 

One is circular made by BBQ guru. 

The other is one from BGE for the medium egg which hold 4 racks I believe. 

I like that circular one, just not sure if it works with a MBGE. Not home right now to measure. Anyone using this on their medium?



Also, any input on the BGE one? 

Maybe a better one for the medium? 

Thanks!

    I bought one of those bbq guru racks to use on another smoker. It works pretty well, but moving/flipping ribs mid cook is almost impossible and also it is impossible to clean.
    I've found that cutting ribs in half is a pretty good solution for space problems. If you have a second/raised grate you should be able to do 3 or 4 racks. You will have to rotate them every now and then, and don't be afraid to overlap them a little either.

    My issue with racks is they are difficult to get the ribs out during and after the cook. Not bustin on the tool you showed. May just need some WD-40 on the stainless  =)

    I just cut mine in half as previously mentioned. On another note, thanks for taking MBC off of our hands. He’s your problem now. - A thankful Steelers fan.

    I assume you mean AB. What does MBC stand for?  I 100% agree. I am so glad he is gone. Just a constant distraction. It won’t take long for him to cause trouble out there either. The honeymoon will be over quickly.

    Can you imagine trying to clean that thing?  What a pain in the ass.  I rather spend my time eating and drinking than cleaning.  
    I think it's time for another beer!

    Just throw it in the dish washer, whatever doesnt come off is flavor for the next cook. Or do something like this. Its a Weber stainless grate and 4 carriage bolts with 2 nuts on each one, also stainless.

    I've done that before, but with only two racks. I guess sometimes we tend to overthink things. 

    I didn't want that guy! I think we are spending way too much time/money on the offense and not enough on the defense like the previous year, but I believe in Gruden. I know it will all take time and he's going to be here for a long time so I'm sure he's building for the long run.

    I was thinking of trying metal skewers to hold ribs vertically. So, cut 2 racks in half and then stand them vertically on the bones and use skewers to hold them up.

    I just did a google photos search and it led me to this post by @Photo Egg

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
