Amerique grill spacing

CS "should" make the racks with multiple rails at 2" to 3" spacing so the grills can be fully adjustable for various thickness of meats. I add rails to my AmQ for a total of 8 slots on each side making it much easier to add more grills for thinner cuts. If I wanted it could handle 8 levels of jerkey or even wings. I really enjoy the flexibility of this arrangement.

Cookshack can make special racks. Just give us a call and we can look at what you want.

why should we have to pay for "special" racks when it would be quite minimal cost involved to make flexible racks with rails at 2" to 3" spacing as a standard???

Just a thought, but if you have product improvement ideas, you might call/email CS.

They don't monitor the forum for regular "ideas" as they want to be able to talk to you if you have some improvement ideas.

I think that's a great idea TN Q. I suspect and hope electro tech has seen your suggestion.

CS is losing an incredible opportunity if they truly do not monitor a forum that they support. FYI here is the link to where I first posted this idea when I modified by racks.
AmQ side rack mod

I know that this isn't an Amerique, but just a thought. I have an old SM009, and bought the 5 rail side racks to replace the 3 rail racks. I was told that these would not fit my new SM045 that came with the 3 rail racks. I did a little checking, and discovered that the racks for the SM009 and the SM045 are the same size exactley. I now have the 5 rails in the SM045. I wonder if there isn't something that Cookshack already makes for another product that would fit the Amerique and do just what you want. Since I don't have anything bigger then the SM045, I don't have away to check this.

TN Q,

Why not CALL Cookshack on the phone and ask for one of the fellas in Sales or Customer Service. You will ba amazed what a friendly and helpful bunch they are - I am sure they would like to HEAR from you.

I am sure if you ordered from them over the phone and had specified you wanted to swap out the standard shelf holders for the PM029 replacement part ones they would have worked with you. They are an incredibly friendly bunch - I just think they aren't very WWW savvy. They do make great smokers...

Call them

You know Cookshack does make a 7 slot rack for the AmeriQue, right?

Stainless steel aint cheap, adding the 3 more slots isn't free for them in materials or man power to form and weld them in. For 90% of people the 4 rack slots are fine, can't see them justifying adding 3 rack slots for 10% of the market. But for $100 you can get them when you buy it and they may even give you a discount if you don't want the rack that comes with it.

interesting comment given that the CS MSRP for both their 4 and 6 slot replacement racks are the same. No one is suggesting that CS "give" away anything; just that for minimal costs a standard and flexible 8 slot rack would be nice.
