Good question! There are two kinds of Multi-Racks, so first we need to determine which one you have.
Standard Multi-Rack
Description
If you have our standard Multi-Rack, two of the posts will have one inward-facing hook to hold onto your cooking grid and two posts will have two inward-facing hooks.
Placement
Your Multi-Rack sits on top of your firebox. The side with the metal rings rests on the firebox, while the side with the arms or posts face up in the air. The posts are what your cooking grids hook onto.
Attaching the Cooking Grids
To use the top level of the Multi-Rack, take one of your Multi-Grid halves and attach the round side to a post with a single hook, making sure both far ends of the half grid attach to both posts with two hooks. Do the same thing with the other half grid. Each half grid should be attached to opposite sides and hooks of each other.
If you want to place either half of your Multi-Grid down near the charcoal for a more intense cook, simply tilt it so it slips past the hooks, then let it rest on the bottom level.
SG18/22 Multi-Rack
Description
If you have our SG18/22 Multi-Rack, all four posts will have one inward-facing hook to hold onto your cooking grid. Each hook will be at a 45 degree angle, and face one of the other hooks.
Placement
Your Multi-Rack sits on top of your firebox. The side with the metal rings rests on the firebox, while the side with the arms or posts face up in the air. The posts are what your cooking grids hook onto.
Attaching the Cooking Grids
Please note that you can’t use an SG18/22 Multi-Rack with a Multi-Grid (our two-piece cooking grid). You must have the Primary Cooking Grid.
To use the top level of the SG18/22 Multi-Rack:
- Make sure it’s turned so that the hooks point perpendicular from the front of the grill. In other words, if you’re standing in front of the grill, two hooks on the SG18/22 Multi-Rack should point away from you and two should point toward you.
- Take your Primary Cooking Grid and attach the grid’s top bars that run along the entire length of the cooking grid to the posts. Again, be sure the Multi-Rack is turned so that when the bars on the top of the cooking grid are running parallel to the front of your grill, the hooks on the Multi-Rack are perpendicular to the bars and will hook onto the bars.
If you want to place your Primary Cooking Grid down near the charcoal for a more intense cook, simply turn the Primary Cooking Grid 90 degrees so the bars slip past the hooks, then let it rest on the bottom level. You can tell the Primary Cooking Grid will slip past the hooks by paying attention to the bars the run along the top of the grid.
I’ve been using my Saffire Grill almost daily since 2019, and I can confidently say this is by far the best grill I have ever owned. From the very beginning, it was clear this grill was built to last. It’s practically bulletproof — rock solid construction, heavy-duty components, and clearly engineered with longevity in mind.
After nearly 6 years of regular use, the only major maintenance it’s needed was to replace the fire bricks, and even that was a breeze thanks to Saffire’s outstanding customer service. The warranty claim process was quick, easy, and hassle-free, which is a rare thing these days. Saffire truly takes care of their customers, standing behind their product in every way.
Beyond durability and customer support, what really sets the Saffire apart is its versatility. Whether I’m smoking low and slow, searing steaks at high heat, baking pizzas, or roasting whole chickens, this grill does it all — and it does it better than anything else I’ve tried.
If you’re on the fence, let me say this: the Saffire Grill is absolutely worth the investment. It’s built to perform, built to last, and backed by a company that clearly cares about its customers.
Highly recommended.
Perfect fit
Great upgrade
