Made a fix for the dripping drain hole when not in use

[sandyut]

I made this out of wire and spray can lid. If anyone has something better please let me know. cover went right over no problem there.

I am getting tired of the grease dripping on the mat and the cover is greased on that end too.

Want something a little bigger, use a discarded 15 oz. or 28 oz. "tin" can.

that would work too. Might be better as its heavier too

I use a small galvanized bucket I got at my hardware store for 2 dollars. It’s about 5 inches and works great. I just looked on Amazon and they sell them in packs. Cover goes over it just fine, only problem I’ve had is critters going after the fat if I don’t empty it out!

I bought a 1QT SS bucket off Amazon and use Traeger grease bucket liners in it from Home Depot. No rust, or mess, and easy clean-up.

My camp chef came with that type of bucket, and yep.... They're easily found at the hardware stores. I have to be careful when removing the cover as I have knocked it off a few times.

I guess I should have tried to put he cover on with OEM bucket...but I generally only empty it when I clean the smoker...so there is a risk of big spills...maybe not sure now.

On my GMG, I leave the bucket on all the time. I also use the paper liner and toss when full. Easier than tin foil or cleaning a greasy bucket with no liner.
