The Pimp My Grill Gen2 Slide-Out Rack System expands your cooking capacity on the Traeger Ironwood 650 or Redland. You receive two extra shelves that glide smoothly into place whenever you need them. This upgrade solves cramped grill space and makes backing-of-the-cooker food easy to grab. You can run separate recipes on different heights without flavor crossing. Lower tracks catch direct flame for rapid heat recovery. Upper tracks capture rising convection and clean smoke for steady finishes. You also gain precise searing control when dialing up your pellet temperature.
Why You'll Love It- Multiple Heat Zones Position proteins on lower racks for direct warmth and use higher levels for slow convection drying.
- Easy Access Design Pull loaded trays toward you so you never reach past thick chamber smoke again.
- Quick Upgrade Swap existing side baffle bolts to secure the mounting plate without drilling or cutting any exterior panels.
- Temperature Control Crank your grill hotter to lock in sharp, diamond-patterned crusts on steaks and vegetables.
- Parallel Cooking Bake vegetables on one track while grilling burgers on another during the same session.
- Multi-rack barbecues requiring distinct temperature zones
- Long cooks that demand both direct heat and indirect smoke
- High-heat sessions focused on fast searing and fat render
- Weekend batches where sides and main courses share shelf space
- Cooks who want to pull food away from dense smoke clouds
- Fasten the thermal sensor exactly where the kit directs you to maintain accurate probe feedback.
- Swap tray positions halfway through long cooks to balance exposure to rising heat layers.
- Wipe the aluminum guide rails after a few runs to keep the sliding motion frictionless.
- Load heavier platters onto the bottom track first so the upper shelves stay light and stable.
- Let your smoker preheat fully before deploying the sliders so the metal reaches cooking temperature evenly.
- Traeger Ironwood 650 and Redland owners wanting to double their grill output
- Barbecue enthusiasts managing separate recipes that need different cooking temps
- Cooks frustrated by reaching past intense heat to flip rear items
- Home pitmasters seeking faster batch turnaround without purchasing a larger smoker
Skip the power tools. The kit relies entirely on your factory mounting points. You replace a handful of baffle screws with longer bolts to hold the side brackets. The aluminum shelves snap straight into the installed channels. You then secure the included thermal sensor holder in its marked location. Most users complete the physical attachment in roughly five minutes.
Does this system fit other Traeger models besides the Ironwood 650 and Redland?
No. The rail spacing and bolt pattern match only those two specific chassis builds.
Will adding these racks block my grill lid from closing properly?
The upper tracks sit below the maximum clearance point, so the lid still seals closed over loaded pans.
How do I clean the slide-out tracks after cooking?
Lift the shelves out, wipe the interior channel with a damp cloth, and dry the surface before reinserting the glides.
Can I use the slides for cold smoking low-temperature projects like cheese?
Yes. The extra vertical clearance lets you nest a smoke tube safely beneath your food without interfering with drip management.
Do I need special tools beyond the hardware included in the box?
You only need a standard socket wrench to exchange the factory bolts for the mounting hardware.

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.
