Know before you buy
The Rib Ring is compatible with any round cooker that is 18 inches in diameter or wider. This includes popular models like the Weber Smokey Mountain, Kamado-style grills, Weber Kettles, and most drum smokers.
You can fit up to six full racks of ribs on the ring. Alternatively, you can fit five racks of ribs alongside a whole chicken in the center.
Yes, the integrated holder is designed to accommodate most standard-sized wired thermometer probes, helping you keep your cables organized and your temperature readings accurate.
The rack is constructed from durable stainless steel. Because of its material, it is resistant to rust and can be easily cleaned with a standard grill brush or soaked in warm, soapy water.
The rack is designed to hold meat vertically, which actually promotes better airflow around each rack of ribs compared to laying them flat. You may find your cook times are more consistent, though you should monitor your internal temperatures as you normally would.
