Warming rack T2. A second level above the embers, 37 x 17 cm.
The T2 warming rack is a stainless steel rack that is suspended above the Thüros T2 grilling surface and keeps finished grilled food warm. Not a second grilling surface, no replacement for a larger grill, not usable without a wind deflector.
The T2 warming rack measures 37 x 17 cm and fits exclusively the Thüros T2. The most common problem when grilling for four people is not the heat, but the space. Getting everything ready at the same time rarely succeeds. The rack solves this by creating a second level where food that is already cooked can wait. On the T2, the surface is sufficient for four rolls or a portion of vegetables, while the meat lies below.
What happens on the second level
The warming rack lies above the actual grilling surface and only receives rising heat, not the direct radiation from the embers. Up there, depending on the amount of charcoal, temperatures range from 80 to 120 degrees.
This is enough to keep finished grilled food at temperature without cooking it further. This zone is ideal for bread and rolls, as they become crispy on the outside without burning. Foil-wrapped potatoes, corn on the cob, and vegetable skewers also finish cooking calmly there.
It needs the wind deflector
The rack is not placed on the grill, but hung in the wind deflector. Without this deflector, it cannot be assembled.
This is the most important information before purchasing. If you only own the grill, you need both parts. If you already use the deflector, because it adjusts the grate height and protects against wind, you can retrofit the warming rack without any additional accessories.
Stainless steel that can go in the dishwasher
Made of non-magnetic V2A stainless steel, the material of the entire Thüros range. The rack does not rust, does not permanently warp, and goes into the dishwasher after grilling.
This is more relevant for the second level than for the main rack: It holds bread that absorbs fat, and vegetables whose sugar caramelizes and bakes on. Both dissolve better in the machine than with a brush.
For which occasion the rack is worthwhile
For four people or more, the second level makes the difference between serving one after another and serving at the same time. Below that, it's a comfort, not a must.
The rack is not suitable for searing — it lacks direct heat for that. It is a warming zone, not a doubling of the grilling surface. If you need more grilling surface, you are better off with the next larger model than with an accessory.
The level where finished food waits until everything is ready.
