14.5 WSM Rib Rack fitment

[Lee Ingraham]

Hey all, I did a cursory search of threads for this topic and didn't see any that addressed it so, I thought I would ask. What kind of wire rib racks do you all use for the 14.5WSM? I was looking at the Weber 6605, but judging by the dimensions listed it may be a tight squeeze and the outer two slots rendered useless. Any suggestions?

ALERT - Weber Rib Racks that fit the 14.5

I stopped in at Home Depot today to just check to see if they had any BBQ stuff out yet. It was fully stocked! One thing that caught my eye was a Weber Rib Rack. It says it fits the 18.5 and it certainly does, I tried it on a SJS that they had on display and it fit like a glove! It has 5 slots...

Looking for 14.5" accessories

Can anyone provide a part # and /or source for a rib rack that fits a 14.5"? Also need a shallower drip pan, the original sits on the coals for long cooks. Looks like they don't burn right doing so. Thanks

Thanks for the reply! Any tips on using the search function from now on? My search didn't find any and I don't want to fill up the forums with previously answered questions.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like google is the way to go rather than the baked-in forum search.

I have the Weber rib rack that you mentioned and it fits in my mini-WSM that I built from a 14 smokey joe with tamale pot, so I would think you shouldn't have any problem with the 14 WSM. You will have to precut the ribs to fit...but I usually can fit two spare ribs and still have one of the outer slots for ribtips to fit

I try the built-in search first, and it works pretty good, but it doesn't like short search terms. If you search for "14.5" WSM rib rack", it doesn't like 14, 5, WSM, or rib. That's when I turn to a Google search using "tvwbb.com 14.5" WSM rib rack" and that finds the results I posted for you.

Sounds great. Thanks for the help!
