Got three of Dave Klose's rib racks that I have been using for many years, and they are still going strong. Not sure of the cost these days, and they are stainless, so I'm sure they've gone up.
i still use the old style weber roast rack turned upside down. but the last time i cooked ribs i just layed them flat on the grate with a little bit of one on top of the other. i then rotated them about every half hour or so. worked great for me.
I have used the Williams-Sonoma, but, I'm going to do the "stack" method next. There is a rib rack available that is reversible for use as a roast rack. Don't recall where I saw it, but try Googling for it.
I still haven't found anything nicer than this one I made years ago... holds five racks (I did this three or four times) and is solid. You could park your '72 Chevy pick-up truck on it
Jim, I was thinking of something very much like your homemade one in the picture. I've found that any rib rack with crossbars makes removing the ribs difficult and scrapes off flavor I want to eat! Straight up bars are the solution!
My question: what material did you use to make yours? I've been pondering it but don't have any good idea of something I could find without much trouble or expense or need unfindable help. Thanks for any help!
Yes, this was welded... the rack consist of 9 bars, 7 of them bent "C" shaped (2 for handles welded to two straight bars), the other five welded upright as the prongs.
A Cincinnati 90 ton Brake was used to make these bends (I work in a manufacturing plant).
