It looks just like the Onlyfire rings.

They are like the old style Weber rings that fit inside the bowl and rest on tabs. So there is a gap between the ring and the bowl.

I have a 22" Stainless steel and a steel 18" rings Rib-O-Lator BOB got to confirm they accept his trays. They do, he was getting requests for non Weber kettle dealers/owners that bought them. But he's a gas grill guy, and for some reason they are now in my garage. I don't have the motors or spits rods so I can't comment on those.

IMO they are made to do what they do, the seat tabs for the bowl are bolt on and they will get the job done. If you realize that the gap (that Weber owners for years accepted but some come to loathe) aids in rotisserie GRILLING and you are good with that then these are a low cost alternative for a Weber ring or if you are a Masterbuilt/Naploleon/Char-Broil etc. kettle owner its your option.

This would be the ring I would suggest to UDS users that want to keep the drum lid but use a kettle lid for rotisserie cooking and not have to modify their can-the ring tabs will fit over the barrel lip.

Hope this helps.

I already have a Cajun bandit smoker set up & the quality is top notch & it works great. I have an good one open range & an older heavy gauge OK Joe but for smaller cooks the bandit is my go to smoker.

So there lies the root of your Rib-O-Lator woes.

The rolled bottom edge of the Onlyfire rings are on the interior. BAD design on their part if you are using the non adjustable trays.

The only rings on the market at the time were the last of the EZ-Que's, Weber and Cajun Bandit which all have the clearance.

Too bad! Looks like the Onlyfire has a problem with the Rib-O-Lator!

BUYER BEWARE!!!  USE ONLY RIB-O-LATOR ADJUSTABLE TRAYS WITH THE ONLYFIRE RINGS!!!

If you have the extra cash, get the Cajun Bandit setup. I love it. Quality can't be beat. Battery operated or plug in. Batteries lasted me all summer. Just replaced before thanksgiving turkey.
