Never used a rack for legs before, but when I spotted this at a yard sale this morning, and took it home for a quarter, I figured now's the time. Never used - the lady had no idea what it was. Very efficient way to cook legs - no touch, no turn, no problem. FYI - this fits on the top grate with the lid closed easily. I swung 'em between a pair of baskets with a few coals underneath. Worked out well. (No photos beyond this one - too busy drinking a Yuengling's.) This gimmick will stay in the rotation.

I've been banking coals to one side behind firebricks when doing a family pack of legs. Could you fit two racks on a single kettle. I've been using two kettles when I cook two packages. It would be nice to have one kettle for meat and use the other for veggies.
I used a rack like that Weber makes. My dealer gave me one to try out. I really like it except for cleaning it up. Otherwise my legs turned out great using the rack and will continue using the rack.
Thats a great little accessory for a great little price! Nice find!
Its no gimmick Marty. I used one at the Chicago Meet II for the chicken lollipops. They work great. One may be in the arsenal for the Sept 7th cook.
I may have to try this...
I use one & a snake keeping temp Around 275*-300* love it ;)
That looks like a great accessory. Any other uses for it?
I've used it for various chicken cuts including wings and marylands. I can get a nice even cook all the way around without having to flip them. And it's super handy if you are saucing.
