What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Weber Rib Rack for its practical design and superior cooking results. Its vertical orientation ensures even heat distribution, effectively preventing the bottom of the ribs from burning. A major benefit is the space saving capability, allowing users to cook multiple racks simultaneously, ideal for entertaining. Reviewers consistently note the sturdy, durable construction, reinforcing Weber's reputation for quality. While very large ribs might present minor fitting challenges, the consensus is clear: this rack is an indispensable tool. Its ease of use and consistent performance lead to high satisfaction, making it a highly recommended accessory for enhancing any grilling session.
Know before you buy
The rack is designed to be versatile, but you should ensure your grill has enough surface area to accommodate the footprint of the rack. It is compatible with most standard gas and charcoal grills, provided the lid can close completely with the rack inside.
Cooking ribs vertically allows for better airflow around the meat, which promotes more even heat distribution. While it doesn't drastically change the cooking time, it helps achieve a consistent cook across all racks and makes it significantly easier to apply sauces or glazes.
While the rack is made of durable plated steel, we recommend hand-washing it with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish. Using a grill brush or a non-abrasive sponge will easily remove any stuck-on sauce or residue.
While optimized for ribs, the rack can also be used to hold other items like chicken halves or thick-cut vegetables, provided they fit securely between the slots. It is a great tool for maximizing vertical space whenever you are cooking multiple pieces of meat that benefit from indirect heat.
The handles are made of the same plated steel as the rest of the rack, so they will get hot during the grilling process. You should always use heat-resistant grill gloves or mitts when moving the rack on or off the grill.
