Kabobs in style July 28, 2009

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 make it very easy to take your kabobs from the grill to your table, but like the rib rack, it will be extremely hot (especially if you're cooking with direct heat). You have to be very careful about where you put the rack, because it retains heat quite well.
You may notice in one of the pictures, the person holding the rack has two Weber Barbecue Mitts. Take it from someone who learned the hard way: you should have two of them, too. Depending on your tolerance for heat, you've got about 20 - 30 seconds to get from the grill to your destination with those mitts, before things start getting painful. Don't even try it with regular oven mitts, unless your table is directly next to your grill.
Personally, I don't mind paying a little more for the double skewer design and the look of the Style series. The only drawback is that Weber doesn't offer additional skewers in a retail pack. I'd love to have about 10 more, so I could really keep a cookout with kabobs going. More likely than not, I'll give them a call and see if I can buy them from their parts department, and update this if they're willing to sell the skewers separately.
Worth it for the double skewers alone September 12, 2009

Double skewers and the flat little handle on the end make turning kebabs a breeze .. no fiddling with spinny bits of meat or onion like with single skewers. For this alone, these get four stars.
Also with single skewers, sometimes vegetables like green peppers, onions or mushrooms get split entirely in two when you try to put them on the skewer, or worse fall off while cooking when you turn the kebabs. With the double skewer, this almost never happens.
So far the rack has stayed in storage .. much easier to cook kebabs directly on the grill although I understand that some cooks prefer to cook them over an open heat source and the rack would provide that, but no one has complained about grill marks yet!
I only wish I could find these skewers without the rack and save a few bucks. That would be a five star deal.
Good but Pricey July 13, 2010

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.
