Weber 6449 Style Kabab Set

Kabobs in style
Similar to the Weber 6453 Style Rib Rack, this kabob set is something you'd really only get as a gift for someone, or if you happen to be a fan of the Weber brand and Style series.

You're paying a relatively big premium over the Weber 6405 All-Purpose Kabob Set, and losing a kabob slot. But, you also receive one of the nicest looking kabob sets around, and it comes in a very nice full color box that looks nice as a gift and would be easy to wrap.

The two-prong design on the skewers is really very good. They do a better than average job of keeping your food from spinning around randomly, when you're turning them. The Weber logo on each skewer is a nice touch, but they'll most likely turn brown by the time your kabobs are ready, and they're kind of a pain to keep clean.

The wide handles on either side of the rack...
Don't waste your money!
This is the second Weber Kabob set I've gotten in the past 3 months. The first one was a gift that I received for Christmas. The weld on the cross bars had broken. I tried to mend it with a high heat metal repair kit but was unsuccessful, so I tossed it and ordered another set. This one arrived with one cross bar totally off of the frame and the other bar held on by one weld. The welding stinks and this set will not hold with food on the skewers. Waiting to hear from the shipper about a refund. Very disappointed that Weber would put their name on this piece of junk.
Good but Pricey
Pros:
- The two prong design on the skewers really does work. Easy to turn and the meat, veggies, fruit doesn't "sping" on the skewer.
- Rack design allows you to cook over the heat and not have it directly on the grates. Avoids food "sticking" to the grates.
- Rack design allows the entire rack to be put on the grill or removed from the grill at the same time.

Cons:
- As to be expected with metal skewers they get HOT. Really HOT. Expect 10 minutes to cool enough to handle after they are removed from the heat.
- The pretty stainless steel only stays pretty through one use.
- As other reviewers noted the rack gets REALLY Hot. Those barbecue mits really are a good idea. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING TO MOVE IT WITH REGULAR OVEN MITTS.
