Stampede Shelf for Inside the RT-590?

[craigcat77]

Looking to get a shelf for the interior of the my 590 to give some more cooking space. I've seen the Small Interior Shelf RT sells, but don't like that it only has 2.75 inches of clearance off the main grates.. would like something a little taller to maximize what can be on bottom. Anyone have a good shelf they've bought for inside of the 590?

Here's a link to a previous thread with info about the rack I bought for my RT-590. About halfway down the page.

Both of these are good options since they both slide in and out and are nearly the full width of the cookbox.

One is made from expanded mild steel while the other is made from solid stainless steel rods . I know which one I'd select on materials alone. I looked into both of them but did not purchase either one, though I may one day.

I'm currently using a grilla grills jerky rack with sliding removable stainless shelves, very nice quality and folds up for storage.

Here's a pic without the middle shelf installed.

Those look pretty sweet.. but I'm wary of drilling holes in my expensive smoker. Not the handiest of individuals and see myself just fiddlesticking it up somehow. haha.

Was looking at this one - seemed like a great option b/c I like ability to remove whatever I use as second shelf when need be. Can you pick and choose which of the three racks you keep in? Feel like this kind of flexibility on how much height I have above/below is preferable

Unfortunately, the top shelf is permanent since it holds the assembly together and is welded to the side supports, the middle and or bottom shelf can be removed as needed. I also use it on my gas Weber so it's not dedicated to the 590 like the other 2 options mentioned.

I built my own rails and then found some stainless racks that fit. I like that I can use both, none or one depending on my cook needs. Added Hooks to the back for storage.

Great work! I like the idea of using 2 narrow shelves for the option of only using 1 if needed. Where did you source the racks, I've never been able to find any that fit?

I bought a Green Mountain collapsible upper rack and attached a 1/8" cable clamp at each corner, this gives me the ability to use it vertically and horizontally in the grill. When used vertically, the right side of the rack sits on the right side ledge of the grill, which gives you a lot of available grilling/smoking space to the left of the rack.

I notice the upper part of your RTD is touching the hole in the upper rack as it goes thru. I would find a way to keep it from touching, as it will probably absorb heat from the sheet metal and give false temps. RT suggests that the upper tip should be 1/2" away from any side metal to avoid false temps. In addition you might want to see if the temp is correct and adjust the RTD if nec, since there is so much new metal near the tip. Very nice work!

The GrillaGrills jerky rack also fits nicely in the dishwasher with a little maneuvering. One time through a heavy cycle and it comes out like new.
