Questions & Answers

What is the height of the structure?

It stands at a height of 3 inches.

Is it possible that this would fit on the 26-inch Kettle?

It perfectly fits the diameter of the 22 1/2 inch kettle, so it would obviously fit in the 26, but the outside diameter would not be a perfect match, so it would fit a little loosely.

This grill rack provides how many square inches of cooking space?

It's about one-third the size of a standard Weber 22-inch grill. 1/2-inch grate for cooking. It can hold a full rack of ribs.

Is there any that have clips on them?

Hello, this does not require any clips.

Selected User Reviews For The Original 'Upper Deck' Stainless Steel Grilling Warming Smoking Rack Charcoal Grill Grate- For Use with 22 Inch Kettle Grills- Charcoal Grilling Accessories and Grill Tools Grill Rack

It's the ideal complement to my Weber! I smoke on a 22" Weber kettle with a Slow n Sear (which is the ideal complement for adding a little extra grill space when setting up a dual-fuel grill)
5/5

cook in a zone I can now cook an 11-pound brisket and surround it with, say, 6 pounds of pork shoulder burnt ends (as shown in the photo). This is a fantastic accessory that fits my grill perfectly and is essential for when I'm cooking for more than just my family.

One thing I hadn't thought about
3/5

This appears to be a good idea at first glance. After all, most gas grills have an upper level, which I've always used to toast rolls and ears of corn. The issue is with the Weber lid's curvature - Unless you encroach significantly on the central part of the main grill rack, the food will likely come into contact with the lid, which is undesirable for several reasons. So, in conclusion, this may work well for some people in certain situations, but the design as a whole is flawed. Maybe if the price wasn't so high.

This add-on allows me to cook more food and spend less time waiting for the hungry crowd, which is ideal for my large family cookouts
5/5

The materials are of excellent quality. This weekend, when I make ribs, I'm going to use it again. This review will be updated once more.

Weber's arsenal would benefit from this addition
5/5

I'm having a lot more fun with it than I anticipated. When your fire gets a little TOO hot and you need to put some distance between the direct flame and your food but still want to cook on the direct side, this is a great complement to the Slow n Sear and the Drip n Griddle. br>br>I've found that this is a great complement to the Slow n Sear as well as the Drip n Griddle. Because the dimensions are nearly identical to those of the SNS, it will be positioned directly above the sear zone. As a result, it's ideal for using the griddle because it's the right size for the job, and it'll keep a safe distance between your griddle and the flames, reducing the risk of warping from high temperatures. br>br>On the indirect side of the grill, it's just as good and functional. When grilling indirect, you effectively double your cooking space, and it's much easier to place a drip pan on the main cooking grate rather than the charcoal grate. I would enthusiastically recommend this to anyone who enjoys grilling on a Weber.

It was well worth it, and the Slow N Sear was a fantastic complement
5/5

I put it to the test on one of my Performers today, about an hour after the big brown truck dropped it off. On the Weber, on the opposite side of the SNS, it allowed me to have two layers of wings. Both levels seemed to cook evenly; I didn't rotate the ribs when I pulled them to wrap them, but I probably should have. It's a well-made piece with a great construction. I'm not sure why some people are upset about it being on the grate. On mine, it's rock solid, and I like how you can rotate it around the grate to position it where you want it or move it aside to access the grate beneath it.

It's just like it says it is
5/5

Despite the fact that I only received it today, I am very pleased with the overall construction of this grate. It's exactly what I expected, and it's very well made. It'll fit in a Weber Performer 22" perfectly. It does not move or slide around, and I am confident that it will do exactly what I want it to do, which is to cook extra ribs or other types of meat while smoking with the kettle. When using direct heat, it should give me 1/3 more cooking space and allow me to move the food further away from the coals. Because most rib racks I saw were too short and not long enough to hold complete racks of ribs, I chose this over "rib racks. " My only criticism is that it appears to be a little pricey for a 1/3 grate, but it works perfectly.

Grilling is fantastic, but smoking is not
4/5

The level of excellence is outstanding. Nice job on the welds. It's the perfect size for my 22" webber. Despite the fact that the item is attractive, I was unable to use it to smoke ribs. I think this is a nice addition to a Webber grill for warming and grilling, but I couldn't get both racks of ribs to cook evenly when I tried it with two racks of ribs, one on the upper and one on the lower. I still believe this is a good product, but I would use it for warming and grilling rather than smoking. In the end, I bought two racks of ribs and laid them side by side on the blumoker bbq, indirectly cooking them.

This is fantastic! So far, I've only used it once, but it's fantastic
5/5

It takes up a lot of room in my Weber 22 kettle. It's simple to clean, for example. Although not ideal as a warming reach, the heat that rises from this cooked my burgers just as quickly, if not faster, than the burgers cooked on the regular lower grate. By the way, I was cooking on the stovetop with an indirect heat source. I usually use direct heat, but this time I wanted to try something different.
