The Pimp My Grill® Gen2 Slide-Out Rack System turns your Traeger Ironwood XL into a multi-level cooking platform. Purpose-built for this specific model, the setup adds over 1,000 square inches of usable floor space. You gain the room to stack proteins without cramping the main grill bed. Raising your meat higher naturally places it in the strongest convection currents. That direct airflow delivers deeper smoke rings, tighter bark, and more predictable temps throughout a long pull.
Why You'll Love It- Bigger batch capacity gives you over 1,000 square inches of extra cooking surface for large groups.
- Smooth slide-out rails hit a built-in safety stop so your food stays put while you probe or reorder.
- Independent rack removal creates instant vertical clearance for whole turkeys, briskets, or tomahawk steaks.
- Heavy-gauge steel walls brace the assembly tightly while acting as passive heat shields for the hopper side.
- Two precision thumb screws lock the frame into the existing interior without a drill or permanent marks.
- Patent-pending PMG design positions both levels parallel to guarantee even smoke exposure across every cut.
- Holiday feasts pulling multiple meats simultaneously
- Competition teams balancing smoked proteins alongside side dishes
- Weekend cooks juggling brisket, pork shoulder, and sausage
- Home pitmasters tracking convection airflow patterns
- Smokers who consistently face gridlock on single-level grates
- Assemble the complete frame on your countertop before lowering it into the grill cavity.
- Loosen the thumb screws to extract the entire unit when you need to vacuum the firepot or swap the grease trough.
- Keep a dry brush nearby to sweep wood dust off the guide tubes between cooks for friction-free gliding.
- Leave both racks installed during light smokes to capture rising thermal energy, then pull one away for thick cuts.
- Line either shelf with aluminum foil or unbleached parchment if you anticipate heavy sugary marinades.
- Traeger Ironwood XL owners who hit their maximum grate limits on busy Saturdays
- Pitmasters regularly cooking four or five batches back-to-back
- Cooks replacing warped stock grates that no longer sit flat
- Convection-tuning enthusiasts who want precise height control
- Any user tired of guessing whether their smoker has enough physical real estate
Does this adapter fit my current smoker?
This system is engineered exclusively for the Traeger Ironwood XL. It will not mount properly on standard Ironwood models, Timber series, or competitive Pellet Cooker lineups.
Do I need wrenches to bolt the shelves down?
No. You click the pre-assembled skeleton into the existing rail slots. Two thumb screws tighten the position in under a minute with bare hands.
How do I access the grease tray while the racks slide open?
Back off the thumb screws and lift the complete frame straight out. You clear unobstructed reach to the drip pan, hopper, and roller gasket assembly without taking apart any shelves.
Can I run a full-size chicken breast on one shelf?
Yes. Slide and remove the lower or upper rack individually when vertical space gets tight. The mounting plate stays anchored so you only relocate the shelf you need.
Will hot sauce or maple rubs gum up the sliding guides?
Sugar-heavy glazes can leave residue over time. Wipe the steel tracks with a damp cloth right after the finish cools to keep the glide smooth and prevent sticking.
Is the rack frame made domestically?
Yes. Every bracket and wall undergoes US-based engineering and fabrication standards under the Pimp My Grill production line.

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.
