i bought one, tested it, after some finaglin got it to spin without hitting the sides of the ring. Its sad to think that a little more R&D and subtract 1" would have made a huge difference. I did nachos in mine and had foil lined the trays... I want to use it again, just not sure when. and yes, it looks a little short to get a rack of ribs on, but then again I don't do ribs.
