I'm looking for a new rib rack. I thought I was pretty sneaky when I snuck down to Linens n' Things and bought one of those v-type turkey roaster racks on the cheap. I inverted it and thought shazam... a rib rack!
Well, it kinda works and it looks like a lot of the ones you see in stores. The big problem is that there's nothing under the v, so you slip the ribs between the wires and then they just slide under and flop horizontal. So I'm thinking each rib needs its own little cage with sides and a bottom so it stays vertical.
I'm willing to spend $20+ on a rack... I just don't want to spend $60 throwing away the first two till I find the right one.

As I recall, this hits the dome on a Medium Egg if the grate is at gasket level. Some way of getting lower in the egg and still being indirect would be the key. I guess if you have a Large Egg, this will clear the dome and thermometer.
Let us know if you find Utopia in that department.

They fit in my Imperial Kamado Just fine. They're stainless steel too.

As luck would have it, I did a little surfing and came up with this from, of all places, Williams-Sonoma... definitely the last place in the universe I expected to find anything approaching a good deal. But they're having a sale.

What I like about it is it'll fit my large Egg with ease, it's got the bottom grate to prevent slipification, and it's stainless. It gets great reviews on their site. (I especially liked the review that started out "this is my third rack..." I relate to that guy.)
It normally sells for $40. On sale for $15.99. I'm a proud owner.

What confuses me about the W-S listing is that it has two alternate pictures, and they don't seem to be of the same item.
Since you own one, abundell, can you clear things up for me?
Larry
It looks like a good deal. Thanks
When I get it, I'll post regarding quality.
If you have a store near you, call them up and they will search for stores that have them in stock. They are $9.99. They will ship 2 of them for $6.00.

Also do you have a spider- if so what size grid fits on it for searing a steak. If I read correct it is the same grid as a medium...But can't quite figure it out. Thanks
I do have a spider, but haven't used it yet. Like you, not sure of the grid size. I'm sold on stainless grids, and will probably order one from tjv, eventually. just not in a hurry, I guess.
I just ordered my Adjustable Rig.
I unfortunately did not order the sliders and it would seem to make perfect sense for ribs..... I guess that will be my next purchase orrr maybe I will go order it now... Thanks
