You're probably right about the looks. It's off when not used and not seen when covered up. With the holes in the rack, I might try cooking some vertical jalapeno's stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon on the Weber. This rack has some practical uses, IMO. I looked and looked for the MP3 ? rack that taxfree4 has but to no avail and didn't want the chrome bling out back so I went with Dale's.
