I test grill grease trap options that stop flare-ups and make cleaning possible. This page covers the specific catch tray job for your 22-inch setup.

Keiko's heat check. A dedicated catch tray stops grease from dripping onto live burners, preventing dangerous flare-ups. It makes post-cook cleaning manageable by containing the mess in one removable unit.

Grease dripping onto live burners causes flare-ups that ruin food and make cleaning a nightmare. A dedicated catch tray is the only way to stop that grease from reaching the heat source.

Look at the product photo to see if the tray fits your 22-inch burner spacing. Check for a lid or cover in the image, as that detail is critical for containing odors and splatter.

1. Grill Drip Grease Bucket for Traeger Pit Boss Rec Tec Replacement…

1. This listing provides a pack of two buckets designed specifically for Traeger, Pit Boss, and Rec Tec pellet smokers, addressing the immediate need for a dedicated vessel to hold rendered fat away from the firebox.
2. Check the photo for the rim thickness and handle attachment points, as these are the first components to warp or snap when you lift a bucket saturated with hot grease.

2. 15 Pack BAC407 Grease Bucket Liner with HDW152 Grease Bucket for…

1. The title specifies compatibility with Traeger Pro Series 575 and 780 models, bundling fifteen HDW152 liners with a single BAC407 bucket to ensure you have disposable barriers between the metal and the mess.
2. Inspect the image for the liner’s depth relative to the bucket walls; if the liner does not extend high enough up the sides, grease will still splash onto the exterior during vigorous flare-ups.

3. 10 Pack Grease Liners and 1 Pack Black Grease Bucket for Traeger…

1. This set targets the Traeger Pro Series 575/780 and 20/22 series, offering ten liners alongside one black bucket, which is a standard configuration for those who prefer a dark interior to hide carbonized residue.
2. Look closely at the photo to see if the bucket has a flat bottom or a tapered design, as a tapered shape can cause liners to bunch up at the center, creating a weak point that tears under the weight of accumulated oil.

4. Drip Grease Bucket and 12-Pack Liners for Traeger 20/22/34 Series…

1. The listing highlights compatibility with Traeger 20, 22, and 34 series as well as Pit Boss pellet grills, including twelve black liners that fit standard drip tray dimensions.
2. In the product photo, verify the presence of a lip or flange on the bucket’s upper edge; without this feature, the bucket may slide too far into the grill’s drip tray slot, making it difficult to retrieve when full.

5. Drip Grease Bucket Can & 12-Pack Liners for Traeger 20/22/34, Pit…

1. This option includes a silver bucket with twelve liners, suitable for Traeger 20, 22, and 34 series and other pellet smokers, offering a metallic alternative to the common black plastic buckets.
2. Examine the photo for the material sheen; if the bucket appears to be thin, stamped aluminum rather than sturdy plastic, it is more susceptible to denting, which can compromise the seal against the liner.

6. BBQ400 Drip Pan Replacement Parts for Traeger Select Pro Drip Tray…

1. The title identifies this as a replacement part for the Traeger Select Pro, listing specific part numbers like BCA288 and BBQ400.03 to ensure exact fitment for the Select Elite and TFS models.
2. Look at the photo to confirm the pan’s shape matches the original OEM tray, particularly the corner radii and the depth of the well, as a mismatch here will leave gaps where grease can escape onto the burners.

7. Drip Grease Bucket & 10 Pack Bucket Liners Set Compatible for Pit…

1. This bundle is marketed for broad compatibility across Pit Boss, Traeger, Oklahoma Joe's, Camp Chef, and Z Grill pellet grills, including ten liners to manage grease from various brand-specific drip tray sizes.
2. Check the photo for the bucket’s diameter; because it claims to fit multiple brands, you must ensure the width is not too large to slide into the specific slot of your grill, or it will block the airflow to the firepot.

8. 25 Pack Grill Drip Pans 8.6" x 6" for Weber Q, Spirit & Genesis…

1. The listing specifies dimensions of 8.6 inches by 6 inches for Weber Q, Spirit, and Genesis series gas grills, providing a bulk pack of twenty-five pans to catch grease from open-flame burners.
2. Inspect the photo for the pan’s material thickness; thin pans of this size can warp under the heat of a gas burner, causing the edges to lift and allowing grease to spill over the sides.

9. Firsgrill 20-Pack Professional replacement for Weber 6415…

1. This is a twenty-pack of professional replacement liners for Weber 6415 gas grills, sized at 8.5 inches by 6 inches to fit the standard drip tray slots of these specific models.
2. Look at the photo to see if the liners have a reinforced rim; without it, the edges will often tear when you pull the liner out of the tray, leaving a mess on the grill floor.
