I've been looking for at cooking racks. I found this but there and others.
The "P&P CHEF Extra Large Baking Sheet and Cooking Rack Set, Stainless Steel Cookie Half Sheet Pan with Grill Rack" Is $52-$85.
Why is a half sheet cooking rack so expensive? A whole wire shelving unit made from the same material is only $54.00.
That little half round "Elevated Cooking Grate - Stainless Steel by Weber" is $50!
When I began smoking meats many years ago, before almost everyone got their smoked meats (if they could find it) from someone who specialized in it, accessories like that was not nearly as expensive as it is now.
It doesn't make any sense to me. I guess it is because grilling and smoking are the in thing now. Prices for that stuff have gone through the roof. I can't help but laughing when I see it. But like my daddy used to say; if they market it as something that they cannot live without, people will buy it. He also reminded my of P.T. Barnum.
Sorry about the rant fellas. I'm just getting frustrated with the cost of everything from smokers to thermometers (don't get me started), to all the accessories to compliment them. I guess if you can afford to spend $4000 for a back yard smoker, what's a lousy $52.00?
