Should I get an older used thick gauge BIG rib rack?

It definitely fits inside a 22.5"  It's 18x12x3

That thing looks really nice. My question though, is, with it covering so much area, where does/should the heat be, to avoid hot spots? Seems like either baskets or a snake would produce hot spots.

Did Weber intend for them to essentially be cooked direct, using a wide spread of coals?

Although it does fit in a 22, I believe it was made for the 26.75 and that's the only kettle I've used it in. You can rotate it in a 22.5 keeping the hot end of the snake opposite the protein but even then the ends of the ribs would be awfully close to being over the coals.

I admit it, I fibbed.  I wasn't buying it from a friend.  I actually saw the rib rack online on the top of a black 22" grill for sale and didn't want to risk alerting anyone how might scoop it out from under me.

So, now along with my BIG OLE RIB RACK, I have
a black N code 22 and
a pair of wire brackets that attach to the charcoal grill that I couldn't see in the pics

I don't remember what the heck the wire coal brackets are called and am guessing they are to keep the coals either toward the center or the edges. 

I've got some cleaning to do on the rib rack & the charcoal thingie. 

I might leave the grill as is and just flip it to reduce the cost of the rib rack. 

Maybe I'll clean her up and shine her up if my alleged 26 inch falls through, use it for a bit, & get rid of it in the spring.
