4 ribs will have to be really trimmed down to fit on each rack, which I don't mind as the rib meat can be used for something else. The rack will fold on each other or not get as even a coat. The other alternative is more grates than the two provided.

You guys convinced me on the Weber Smokey Mountain. I went with the 22.5-inch size.

Sears had it on "sale" for $315- but because they provide it through a 3rd-party vendor, they did not offer any kind of ship-to-store option. Shipping added an additional $125-!!!

However, because of what I learned in this thread, I marched over to Lowes and asked them to price match, and THEY DID! I got if for the Sears price of $315- instead of the Lowes price of $399- plus Lowes has a free ship-to-store option. :wo (Lowes would not do the price match + 10% because the smoker is considered a special order item since they don't stock it in the store, but I'm not going to quibble -- I feel like a saved a Benjamin+.)

Thanks for everyone's input here!

Very nice choice, let us know how you like it, been looking at getting one as an extra smoker to run along side my egg when doing big smokes...

I was actually being a little sarcastic/tongue in check. I will say though, that I have used them on trimmed spares. Not the best, but it can be done.

I'll have to look around and see if I can find pictures of the racks I had made for a smoker I got rid of.

I think it would be great for baby backs. On my last smoke, I did 3 baby backs and 3 spares at the same time. I rolled up the baby backs and used a toothpick to hold them in place. I think my preference would be to get a rack like you pictured though in the future. If there was one built wide enough apart for spares, that would be awesome.

There are a couple more on amazon. I am sure someone out there has rigged them one as well.

Good move and choice. This smoker is so easy to use. Stock up on quality charcoal and wood chunks. I bought half a pallet and have been working through that, but I use the smoker more often than most around our parts.
