Camp Chef Pellet Grill and Smoker Jerky Rack, 36 in.

The three horizontal jerky rack shelves come with two vertical side walls to set the racks into place. After uninstalling the bolted in brackets for your normal warming rack (which is a silly design), you just set these two walls under the main bottom grill grates and slide your jerky racks into the grooves in the walls. The problem is that the walls/brackets are too far apart and the shelves fall down on one another. The ‘grooves’ that come out of the walls to hold the jerky racks in place need to be about a half inch or so longer so the racks can actually fit in between the walls. Like another reviewer here, I had to put tin foil in the grill to push the walls closer together so the racks will stay in place. Otherwise the top rack I had to delicately place crooked on the top of the rack to not fall down. Maybe my walls are bent, but they sure don't seem like it. Kind of a giant waste of money in my opinion.

This is a must have for anyone wanting to make jerky, but also for any one that wants the option to get more cooking area. You can also use the different racks at varying heights to get separation from the heat source below. This comes in handy for longer cooks to get more flavor from your smoker. Don't believe the reviews that talk about the sides of the rack falling down if you don't have a rack in one of the slots. I don't know what they are doing with their rack supports or if they might have installed wrong or something else, but if installed correctly they stay under the edge of the grates just fine when I'm not using them. I can see myself using them more often than naught as I'm trying to get better heat control whilst smoking my food.

I have a Cabela’s 24” smoker/grill and theses are too big for the opening. The opening is 20 1/8” and the racks are 21”.

We tried jerky and wings but both stick to the grates. After every use I need to pressure wash the meat stuck on the grates off. We tried oil, and spray nothing seams to work. its a real mess. thought it would be an awesome feature but not worth the mess plus the meat you loose.
