Rib Racks

I think you would more bang for less $$$ with the CS Rib Hooks. You could probably hang as many or more than you can fit in the rib racks. And too, you don't have to worry about the tight fit.

Just my $0.02 worth!

I've used the rib hooks and like how they work. I found that when I hang the ribs with the long bones on top,the fat running down the rib seems to baste the smaller bones at the bottom keeping them from drying out. Just don't apply too much rub or it could end up dripping off! All you need is 1 hook per rib, even with spares.

I use Weber rib racks in my Smokette cause that's what I already had when I bought the Cookshack. They work just fine. No problem with slots being too narrow.

I find that the small end of the slab of ribs tends to cook faster than the rest so I usually lop off a few bones from the small end and chuck them in a zip bag in the freezer for future use. When I get enough for a meal I'll cook up a batch of small ends. Removing those bones from the slab makes it just the right size to fit in the 08. They lap over onto the sides a little but it doesn't seem to hurt anything. After a little while they will have shrunk enough that they'll be will clear of the sides. Works for me anyway.

I used the rib racks at one time also, but found them a pain to clean, and too bulky.

I've been using the CS rib hooks for several years now, with great success. Easier to clean, and I find that the ribs get even heat.
