The Pimp My Grill® Grease Tray replaces the standard factory part on your Traeger Timberline 1300 to fix poor drainage before clogging creates bigger issues. Factory designs guide fat into a wide front trough where heavy debris settles. This upgraded stainless steel tray cuts out that bottleneck entirely.
Enjoy faster cleanup and better overall airflow under your food grates. The new edge sends liquid drippings straight to the front-left drain instead of letting them sit. If you frequently smoke fatty roasts or run low and slow programs, this simple swap keeps your hopper cleaner and protects against grease fire risks.
Why You'll Love It- Directs flow cleanly: Channels fats toward the front-left drainage spout rather than trapping them in a wide channel.
- Eliminates pooling zones: Removes the deep valley where food scraps and solidified grease usually accumulate.
- Streamlined cleanup: A quick wipe handles thin oil films instead of scraping hardened residue from crevices.
- American-made durability: Constructed from heavy-grade stainless steel designed to resist warping over time.
- Drops right on: Fits your existing Timberline framework with minimal tool work when paired with the right supports.
- Lowers fire hazards: Faster evacuation of flammable liquids reduces excessive fuel storage beneath the burn pot.
- Traeger Timberline 1300 owners seeking reliable grease management upgrades.
- Cooks processing lots of pork shoulder, beef brisket, or spare ribs.
- Long smoking sessions that leave pooled tallow in the bottom hopper.
- Users who dislike spending twenty minutes scrubbing plastic-coated aluminum pans.
- Backyard chefs wanting predictable temperature stability by removing airborne grease particles.
Angle matters for successful drainage. Gravity needs to pull the heavier oils toward the exit point, which requires your tray to sit slightly slanted forward.
Never attempt to bolt this tray onto a completely stock Timberline frame. Install the Pimp My Grill® Timberline 1300 Rack System or order the PMG Riser Brackets to give you the necessary drop for smooth grease movement.
Empty your grease bucket before extended overnight cooks. Heavy rain combined with overflowing catch buckets increases mess and attracts unwanted wildlife to your patio.
Who's This For?- Timberline operators troubleshooting recurring blocked drip channels.
- Competition barbecue teams needing rapid turnaround times between cooking rounds.
- Weekend family cooks tired of digging baked-on carbon out of narrow gaps.
- Outdoor kitchen builders prioritizing longevity and stainless materials over coated steels.
Use this drainage component exclusively on Traeger Timberline 1300 trailers. It provides a direct upgrade path that avoids modifying your original controller or shell.
Your setup relies on the PMG Rack System or the dedicated PMG Riser Brackets to supply the correct mounting height. Adding these pieces guarantees the tray holds its optimized slope, making sure grease hits the bucket and not the floor behind your smoker.
Without installing either accessory to elevate the mounting plane, the tray loses its ability to guide drippings effectively.
Does this replace my original grease tray completely?
Yes. The PMG design takes over the entire bottom pan area. You discard the stamped factory insert in favor of the reinforced steel version.
Must I buy the full PMG rack system to use the greasetray?
No. You can rely solely on the PMG Riser Brackets if you prefer keeping your stock side shelves and handlebars. Both options successfully elevate the mounting frame to achieve the required angle.
Is the stainless steel finish rated for high heat exposure near the burn pot?
The metal handles standard cooking temperatures and direct flare-ups easily. Do not subject the empty tray to direct lighter burns. Always keep your fire contained inside the designated sizzler plate or grill grates during ignition.
Will it fit Traeger Ironwood or Titan models?
Dimensional differences prevent cross-compatibility. The Timberline 1300 features a unique pan shape that this specific tray addresses.
How does the front-left drain placement compare to stock setups?
The factory unit routes drips along a wide horizontal pathway that traps solids. The PMG route pulls liquids diagonally leftward and straight downhill, clearing the pan much faster.

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.
