The Pimp My Grill PMG Gen2 Slide-Out Grate Rack System replaces your factory grates with two heavy-duty racks that slide out smoothly instead of staying fixed in place. This upgrade lets you pull racks toward you to season, sauce, rotate, and remove meat without reaching deep into a hot cooking chamber.
Designed specifically for the Pit Boss Pro 850 and 850DX, the system improves your daily workflow by organizing food across two dedicated zones. Each rack lifts out instantly when you need extra clearance for taller cuts, while optimized spacing directs convection heat and smoke exactly where you want it.
Why You'll Love It- Safer handling. Pull racks out to check doneness or apply sauce without reaching into intense heat.
- Built-in stops prevent tipping. Securely hold meats while they slide, so you never spill juices on the lid or floor.
- Removable design clears tall cuts. Take out either rack instantly when a whole brisket or pork butt needs standing room.
- Intentional airflow zones. Cook higher up in the grill where convection currents and smoke circulation naturally strengthen.
- Routine maintenance stays simple. Lift the racks out to clear the grease tray or reach the firepot without extra tools.
- No permanent changes. Mount the bracket and track system in minutes using just bolts.
- Briskets and pork butts that need top-grill positioning for even bark formation
- Long smoke sessions requiring frequent sauce checks or wrap adjustments
- Backyard cooks who want to organize proteins across distinct temperature zones
- Grillers upgrading from standard factory grates for smoother workflow control
- Leave the top rack installed during brisket cooks to let convection air circulate around the largest cuts.
- Slide both racks out halfway before applying rub or sauce to keep your work area clean and safe.
- Use the bottom rack for slower-cooking proteins like ribs or pork shoulder, which sit closer to direct radiant heat.
- Remove the upper rack completely when smoking turkeys or large roasts that exceed the five-inch overhead clearance.
- Pit Boss Pro 850 owners looking to replace cramped factory grates
- Pit Boss 850DX users seeking better food access without rebuilding their grill
- Cooking teams practicing zone management or frequently rotating large cuts
- Weekend smokers who value safer handling and cleaner grease tray removal
Does this system fit my Pit Boss model exactly?
Yes. The brackets and tracks are engineered specifically for the Pit Boss Pro 850 and 850DX.
Will installing these racks void my warranty?
No. The mounting method uses reversible brackets that require no cutting or drilling.
Can I still remove the grease tray after installation?
Absolutely. Both racks lift out easily whenever you need full interior access for cleaning.
What material are the grates made from?
They are constructed from heavy-duty carbon steel designed for high-heat grilling and smoking.
How much clearance does the top rack leave above it?
You get exactly five inches between the top rack and the grill lid, which supports larger cuts and stronger convection flow.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
