U2PLT Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Just purchased this rib rack from: SouthernSteamers Very well built Stainless Steel and it fits perfectly in the OTB!
ThreeDJ16 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Very nicely built. How many full racks can you get on it and it still fit in the grill? -=Jasen=-
DennisLinkletter Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Greeaat purfect fit! Gotta love it.. perfect fit. Anybody coming over this way?
PaulR Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Looks great!, I have asked them for a quote to ship to Oz... Sjeesh the number of toys for the KK is limitless!!!!
U2PLT Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Posted November 1, 2007 New Rib Rack There are nine spaces for ribs that are far enough apart for the biggest Spare Ribs you can find. They were welded with TIG and there are absolutely no spatters anywhere. They used 1/4" SS, with two rods on bottom on each side for extra strength. It is quite heavy. I have built my own with my son who has a wire welder with tanks. But it is nothing like the TIG. Plus the bends are perfect and I used a large vice before, and decided it was not worth the effort to meet this products quality, much like DL's attitude. Which says perfection gets more word of mouth customers than the best advertising in the world....... With nine spaces you could hold 3 of SAMS crovacs which have 3 Spares untrimmed in them. I trim mine to St Louis type.
Curly Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Don't look like the 2 or 3 on either end would fit long ways though.
U2PLT Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Posted November 2, 2007 Use Your Imagination Just bend it to fit the curve!!!!!!!
Curly Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Re: Use Your Imagination Just bend it to fit the curve!!!!!!! Well, it's worth a try...might be a log jam in the middle though. But we've all seen the pic of 27 racks on a large egg (where's the whiz when ya need him)...so I reckon it's possible.
Saucier Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Re: Use Your Imagination How in the wide world of sports, could you get 27 racks in a cooker?? Just bend it to fit the curve!!!!!!! But we've all seen the pic of 27 racks on a large egg (where's the whiz when ya need him)...so I reckon it's possible.
Curly Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 OK Whiz...where is the pic. Maybe it wasn't 27, but it was close. Hopefully The Nakid Whiz will ablige with the pic.
U2PLT Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Posted November 6, 2007 Not 27 In the SAMS pack there are 3 spare ribs not trimmed. So 3 packs equals 9 Ribs that I trim to St Louis style. Next buy I will take pictures.....
Firemonkey Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Is this what you are talking about, Curly??
Sanny Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 You know, that's impressive... I bet that takes days to cook though...
Amphoran Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 Mine arrived this afternoon, and man, is that one industrial-strength rib rack! My ancient Weber rib rack goes out to pasture immediately! I'd highly recommend one of these if you like ribs like I like ribs!
DennisLinkletter Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 I'm thinking that the lower part of the ribs would get most of the heat here.. I don't even see space for the hot air and smoke to escape..
Firemonkey Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Yep. No way I would want to pack my grill like that. I dont like the ribs to even touch each other, because I like the smoky bark. Those are packed in so tightly, they may as well have been wrapped in foil.
GregR Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 How many? Has anyone tried loading this up with 9 racks? There was discussion earlier in this thread as to how many racks would practically fit in this rack on the OTB and I'm wondering whether there is any first-hand experience out there. Greg
GregR Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Count 'em, nine slabs Unable to wait for the much anticipated KK rib rack to become available (I had a rib cook for 8 couples a couple of weeks ago), I pulled the trigger on the rack from Southern Steamers. As these photos demonstrate, nine slabs of baby backs fit just fine.
