Handpicked for Quality & Performance
The Pimp My Grill Gen2 Slide-Out Rack System for Traeger Pro 575 & Pro 22 turns your existing pellet grill into a high-performance smoking station. You lose time reaching into heavy smoke just to check meat quality. These slide-out racks bring everything closer so you can flip chicken or glaze ribs without breaking your cook. The system unlocks extra cooking areas and improves airflow around your food. You get better bark development and more even heat distribution across every layer.
Compatible ModelsThis kit aligns perfectly with Traeger Pro 575 and Traeger Pro 22 footprints. The bracket geometry also matches most twenty-two inch barrel style pellet grills. Verified secondary fits include Century 22, Mesa 22, Lil Tex Series, Eastwood Select, and original TFB or BBQ07 builds. Pimp My Grill operates independently and carries no affiliation or endorsement from these manufacturer names. Verify your side vent spacing before confirming your order.
Why You'll Love It- Instant Cooking Capacity: Adds a second rack level so you can run brisket next to ribs safely.
- Smarter Access: Slide the racks out to baste or flip without burying your hands in hot coals and thick smoke.
- Better Smoke Flow: Placing food higher catches stronger draft cycles for richer flavor and darker crust.
- Secure Stops: Built-in rack guides lock the metal trays in place so your meat never slides backward.
- Safety Focus: Carbon steel bars feature a diamond grip pattern and hide sharp cut edges.
- Tool-Free Setup: Patent-pending brackets snap into your existing ports so you spend minutes on installation.
- Durable Finish: Heavy-duty carbon steel seasons naturally and resists warping under sustained heat loads.
- Long smoke sessions that need room for multiple proteins
- Cooking tough cuts that benefit from steady convection heat
- Batch cooking party meals like whole chickens or pork shoulders
- Venting thick smoke more efficiently through the top port
- Separating dry-rubbed meats from sauced batches during the finish
- Season the Steel: Coat both racks lightly with cooking oil before your first fire. The carbon steel develops a natural release layer over repeated heats.
- Rotate Your Load: Pellet grills stack warmth toward the fire pot. Move slower proteins to the top rack halfway through to speed up tenderness.
- Preserve Airflow: Keep side vent openings clear when loading the upper tray. Unrestricted drafts maintain steady internal temperatures.
- Brush After Cooling: Wipe the grates once they drop below warm handling temperature. Soft bristles remove residue without scoring the seasoned surface.
- Traeger Pro 575 and Pro 22 owners running single-grill family cooks
- Backyard competition teams testing parallel rubs on separate levels
- Event hosts preparing large weekend batches without renting extra smokers
- Purists who refuse to drill permanent holes into factory-built chassis panels
Is this a Traeger top rack or a complete rack system?
This Pimp My Grill Gen2 listing includes two slide-out racks and support brackets for compatible Traeger Pro 575 and Pro 22 grills.
Does this kit require tools to install?
No. The patent-pending brackets lock directly into your existing vent mounts. You will not need a drill, wrench set, or cutting equipment.
Can I remove just one rack if I only need extra height?
Yes. The slide-out track system holds the brackets independently. Remove the middle tray whenever you want clearance for taller proteins.
Will these racks warp during high heat cooking?
The units feature overbuilt carbon steel construction designed for sustained outdoor fires. They handle standard pellet grill temperatures without warping.
How do I attach the racks to my Traeger?
Align the bracket tabs with your top side vents. Push downward until they click into place. Drop the metal racks onto the support channels to finish.
Is this system compatible with Traeger Pro 34 or Ranger models?
No. The bracket geometry and vent spacing are sized specifically for twenty-two inch barrel configurations. Smaller or larger Traeger lines require different accessory kits.
Do I need to season these grates before first use?
We recommend applying a thin coat of cooking oil to the raw carbon steel before heating. This process protects the metal and primes a natural nonstick finish.

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.
