Is this big enough for a rack of ribs or brisket?

Plenty of room! I use a rack for the ribs so that they stand up during the smoking process. Smoke them at 200 degrees or less. Great recipes on Google...

Yes, but. . . I returned this item. It was cheaply made and couldn't maintain temperature. I eventually ended up with a gas Brinkman smoker. It has a door on the front and is infinitely more desirable than this contraption.

That would depend on the size of the ribs or the brisket. It is 16 inches inside diameter, so I've actually smoked a good size turkey, and lots of salmon and steel head. It does have two layers so you always cut the meat in half.

Yes it is, I've done two racks of baby back ribs along with brisket at the same time. I stood the ribs up in a half circle in the top rack and the brisket in the bottom rack.

Whole brisket ? If it's from a large animal, probably not. The rack measurements give you the enswer. Baby back will be okay, but not spareribs. I have cut them in half before brining

Buy 2 extra racks and you can squeeze in 4 briskets. I've done six pork shoulders. I don't bother with the water tray that comes with it for that much me at. I use the large aluminum trays from Costco. It will rest properly on the frame on the lower part of the smoker. I wrap the grease tray in the bottom in aluminum foil for easy cleaning. Great little smoker.

about 13" x 14" you can place a whole rack of ribs on it if you cut it in half or a 10 lb picnic shoulder on the rack. I do like mine, take your time when you put it together, tighten the screws, find a hard ware store for your c clamps and get your self a wheel barrel or metal tray to start your next load of coals once you have started cooking so that you don't lose a lot of heat during your cooking, a large pair of tongs can help with the removal of burnt coals and ashes.

John,I've had the portable kitchen for over a year and love it. Steaks, chicken breast or burgers all cook up great. I've been getting my butcher to cut steak sized center cut pork chops. They are as good as ribeye steaks, it takes a little soaking in a brine solution, but the PK gives them a flavor that's beyond your imagination. I haven't tried a rack of ribs, but I think the PK will cook most anything, that's why it's called the Portable Kitchen. I bought the PK to replace a similar aluminum cooker that was 35 years old.

I've never tried a rack of ribs and I have the Q220, we love the grill and it's the best one we've ever had. I think you could reduce the temp and do the ribs. I have maintained a consistent temp with the on board thermometer. Good luck.

I think you would have room but you would need to buy more racks look further on amazon. By far the best smoker I have ever had.

You can use the rack on any grill or smoker. I have never boiled ribs; but if that's what your recipe calls for, go for it.

I am afraid that I do not know the dimensions on the Weber Q2400, but the dimensions on the Masterbuilt Rib Rack are 3 inches high, 7 14 inches wide and 11 inches long. If those dimensions will fit into the Weber and still allow for a rack of ribs to stand vertically in the rack within the grill, then I would answer "yes" to this question.

the interior is 24 inches wide. can fit full rack of ribs easily, and each cooking rack holds two racks of ribs, so could do 6 racks at a time

Not sure but to give you an idea I recently loaded 16 slabs of beef short ribs total of 40 +/-pounds on four and didn't have to cut them to make room the following week I did a nother 12 slabs.. I also did a 17 lb turkey on one rack with no problems. I will recommend if you do get this smoker, with the wood chip pan hammer down the open slots this will improve your smoke and only use wood chunks not chips I prefer un soak. Good luck and hoped this helped you will love it trust me

You need a special rack for the ribs and we didn't buy it. Sorry we don't know. But otherwise we really like the item.

I did not measure this puppy, but I have a four burner BBQ with side burner and it is way big enough. Almost to big....

I just smoked two full racks a couple of weekends ago. I used a Weber rib rack on the lower grill, and this held 3 half-racks upright, and I laid the last half rack flat on the upper grill. All were spaced far enough apart to get smoked and came out great. You could probably use another rib rack on the upper grill to get 3+ full racks done, but it'll be a tight fit at that point.

Yes we have a family of 11 and can fit lots of meat inside as well as many racks of ribs, roasts, etc... I think there are some user pictures that can best illustrate daily use.

Hi Andrew i'm not familiar with your cooker. But here are the dimensions 13 1/4" L. 8" W. 3 1/2"T. the space between racks are 1 15/16". It's heavy duty stainless steel. If your grill is 14 1/2" it willdepend on the size and configuration of your lid. you may have to put ribs in the three middle racks only. Hope this helps.

The horizontal rack is about 14" in diameter should be a guide. I've cooked chickens and pork shoulders in the 10 lb range.

Yes, and if its a really big brisket they have expandable bags that I have used to seal a turkey with. You can store a raw brisket or a cooked brisket but you cannot cook a brisket in the bag. Food savers website will have dimensions, but it is a very small footprint
