Product review
This accessory is a dual-purpose rib and roast holder designed to sit across grill grates and create vertical cooking space. Use it to stand baby back or spare ribs upright so you can fit more racks in a single cook, or drape larger cuts of meat over the bars to roast without laying directly on the grate.
The frame is made from plated steel with a finish suitable for high heat and routine use. The metal construction provides a firm support for racks of ribs or a roast and the parts are dishwasher-safe for easier cleanup. When not in use the rack stores flat and takes up minimal cupboard or garage space.
Dimensions and fit are aimed at common charcoal and kettle-style grills; the piece is noted to work with Weber Q 300 and larger charcoal models, as well as many 22- to 24-inch kettles and kamado-style grills. Because it spans the cooking surface, full-length racks on round grates sometimes need light trimming or repositioning to sit straight, so plan accordingly when loading the holder.
Pros
- Increases grilling capacity for ribs and roasts
- Plated steel construction and dishwasher-safe
- Compact design stores flat and saves space
Cons
- May require trimming or repositioning on round grills
- Logo tab can trap food and is tricky to clean
- Not long enough for some full-length racks on smaller smokers
VerdictA sturdy, space-saving rack that expands what you can cook on charcoal and kettle grills. It holds multiple rib racks or a roast, is simple to clean, and tucks away easily. Round grills and some small smokers may require trimming full racks or slight adjustment to fit; a welded logo tab can catch debris. For cooks who want to add capacity without a bulky accessory, this is a practical option.

Great for spare ribs on the gas grill
Stands spare ribs upright in a gas grill and delivers even cooking without flipping.

Durable after many uses
Has been used about 20 times and still looks like new.

Leo Allen 5/5
Handled a large smoke without complaint
I used two racks in a 20" smoker for a big family trip and they held six racks each without bending. Built solid and cleaned up easily — ribs came out evenly cooked.

Quality build, but I rarely reach for it
The rack is robust and fits my 24" kamado fine, yet the round grate geometry makes full racks awkward near the edges. For smaller cooks I usually just lay ribs flat.

Good, affordable rack
Lower cost than my old rack yet holds ribs more steadily and is easy to work with.

Versatile but picky detail
I draped a brisket over it successfully when it wouldn’t fit the smoker. The small branded tab collects food bits and is harder to clean than the rest.

Exactly what I needed for a party
Fit six baby backs and probably a seventh if needed. Took a moment to get the ribs spaced, but once they cooked a bit everything settled and cleanup was straightforward.

Works in my 22" kettle with a little flex
Holds three racks comfortably; you might bend ribs slightly to fit them straight across. Metal feels sturdy and smoke reaches the meat well.

Too short for whole baby back racks
Nice item but won’t support full-length baby backs unless you cut them. Also won’t fit under the lid of a small Traeger when on the grate.

Perfect Christmas gift
Gave this to my husband for holiday ribs and it made the cook easier — we did three racks without constant turning. Cleanup was easier than expected.

Not suited for ribs
Too wide for baby backs; I’ll keep it for chickens and roasts but disappointed for rib cooks.
