Can i use the rack on charcoal grill and do i have to boil or back the ribs before putting on the rack?

Yes you can use on charcoal grill. No you can put them on the rack but at low temperature and slow cook.

It is designed to sit on the grill itself. You can start your ribs from raw or do any pre-prep you wish if you want to cut down the time. I start raw and use a dry rub myself.

You can use the rack on any grill or smoker. I have never boiled ribs; but if that's what your recipe calls for, go for it.

I use the vents on my grill for temp control, nor any particular amount of charcoal. Guess it depends on your cooking style and grill.

I can't imagine how you would tackle doing spare ribs. The owner's manual doesn't mention doing ribs, and it just wouldn't be practical since there's no good way of anchoring down the ribs so that they'd cook evenly. Also, you'd want to baste the ribs frequently, and this would make a huge mess. I would say it just isn't possible.

Not practically. The grill lays on top of the screws that are used to hold the legs on. The charcoal pan is lower and lays on the lower leg screws. But have not found a need to change the height, just change the amount of charcoal.

You need a special rack for the ribs and we didn't buy it. Sorry we don't know. But otherwise we really like the item.

Yes absolutely! In fact I may do so myself I've only used my rack for ribs.

That may be possible. I tried one rack of St. Louis ribs and the issue I had was trying to be successful in getting the ribs to stay on the skewer. I wasn't really that successful in getting the ribs to stay on the skewer. About halfway through, they fell off. I believe you could place two racks of ribs on the skewer placing them one in back of the other, however, I think you still have the issue of how do you keep them on the skewer. I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that one.

not to easily. it will be to hard to keep low temps. the grill is really shallow so the charcoal is to close to cook slow the meat will cook to fast and the smoke will have no time to permiate the meat.

Yes, you can use it on a charcoal grill. And believe me, and the flavor of the meat will be great.

Yes, you can. I have even done two at the same time. If you were thinking you couldn't because of the top rack, it is plenty high. This is a great grill!Super easy to clean too!

If you cut the racks in half, it will hold two full racks and half of a third. Full racks don't do too well in this rack. They're too long and tend to droop a lot.This rack is great for for pork butts, chickens, and turkey breasts when inverted from the position shown in the picture, though. It works well for ribs, but I just bought a rig from the Ceramic Grill Store that works way better and can do 4 full racks concurrently. I'd recommend that setup if it's ribs you're after, but it's not cheap; about $225 for everything you need.

I put my char baskets underneath the flip open sides of the top grill. After using the chimney to start the Kingsford ( I only use that brand, others don't even compare), I empty the charcoal evenly into each of the char baskets. I place the wood chips in a stainless box and the Weber water container in the center between the char baskets.

Yes as long as the grill has a dome type lid that will accommodate the height of the rack. I use it in my 22.5 Weber kettle for legs and wings. Both come out sure juicy and tender.

I agree with another comment about ribs - you would need to cut the slab. As for other meats, I have cooked a whole chicken (typical small fryer) and about a 3 to 4 lb brisket

I used this rack on a gas BBQ grill. Temps got pretty high. There was no damage to the rack. D

There is a rack, we have done turkeys and chickens, you could probably do ribs. Let me know how they turn out. Good Luck.

I place it on one side of the grill grates over high heat. Well-soaked wood chips or chunks will smoke like crazy after about 10 minutes. I just smoked three racks of ribs yesterday with chunks of apple. I wouldn't bother putting it on the flavorizer bars.
