Rib racks for WSM 18.5
- Thread starter NGillette
- Start date
1) I would recommend rolling (coiling) over a rib rack
2) If you must have a rib rack, the Brinkman seems to be a good choice
3) I have the Weber 6605 and I cannot recommend that rack because the bottom bars are too far apart to support a 1/2 rack.
I end up using carefully placed skewers to keep the racks from falling through.
6605 is a nice, clean design...too bad they messed up on the spacing.
Here's a typical rack, cut in half and you can see that they are barely able to make the span of the 6605 bottom bars...

I have a couple of Brinkman rib racks I bought for my Mini-Joe. As it turns out, they not only are a perfect fit for the Mini-Joe but they work just as well in the 14.5 and the 18.5. Doing half racks all of the time now. The reason is simple - I get perfectly evenly cooked ribs. No more overcooked ends.
IMO, rib racks just simply do a better job!

Unless you're going to foil during the cook, I'm with Joe. I'd ROLL 'em. I'm smoking six slabs of spares on my 18 this weekend at a family get together.
