Recommendation: For easy cleanup, line the
grease drip tray with Traeger
®
Aluminum Drip
Tray Liners or heavy-duty aluminum foil. If using
foil, be sure the edges and ends of the foil are tight
against the bottom of the grease drip tray. Replace
foil after each cook to reduce the possibility of a
grease fire. Please see “Maintaining Your Grill”
on page 22 for more details.
Now you’re ready to place the heat
baffle, grease drip tray, and porcelain-
coated grill grate back into the grill.
