Primo Rib and Chicken Holder with Drip Tray

What does the Primo Rib and Chicken Holder do?

It holds ribs standing on edge and chickens standing upright, and it comes with a drip tray for the fat that comes off them. Rather than choosing between a rib rack and a poultry holder, you get one piece of equipment that handles both of the cooks people do most often on charcoal.

Is the drip tray included or sold separately?

Included. The listing states that the drip tray comes with the holder, which matters because the fat from ribs and whole birds has to go somewhere other than onto the coals. Catching it keeps flare-ups down and gives you the drippings if you want to use them.

Which Primo grills does it fit?

The listing does not tie it to a single Primo size the way most accessories do, so it is not sold as a Junior or an X-Large part. It sits on the cooking grate rather than into the firebox. Check the space you have available on your own grill before loading it up.

Why hold a chicken upright?

Because it drains rather than sits. A bird on its back cooks in the fat that renders out of it and ends up soft underneath, while the breast dries out on top. Stood on end, that fat runs down and away, and heat gets to the whole surface of the bird instead of one face at a time.

How does this compare to the dedicated rib racks?

The 9-slot and 5-slot racks do ribs and nothing else, and the 9-slot does them in real quantity. This holder trades some of that rib capacity for the ability to cook poultry upright and for the tray underneath. Pick by which cook you do more often.
