Hanging ribs in a drum is a great way to cook ribs. I bought one of Weber's hanging racks years ago for my 18" WSM. Not sure why they quit making them but it sure seems that there is enough interest nowadays that Weber should consider making those again.

Other than added capacity (and scratching the MCS itch), what does this do over just taking out the water bowl and using the grates?

They say it helps evenly distribute the heat. I’ve only used it once, seems legit.

I could see that if you had two (smoker) racks going. Seems to me though you would be sacrificing that by having the bottom edge closer to the heart source (briquettes).
