Grease Drip Bucket Liner

[charlesrshell]

Does anyone have a source tor the correct size grease drip bucket liners that fit the RT bucket?

I bought The Pit Boss ones from Walmart

I put in a large plastic yogurt container or a large glass tomato sauce jar. I then empty them if they don't have much in them or throw them away. Saves money and recycles.

Thanks @Wslayer. I will look there or Lowe's. They have Pit Boss too. Do they fit good? Don't have my RT let.

I just use empty cans, they fit well enough where the spout hits the can.

Turn the empty bucket upside down. Take a couple sheets of foil and form them over the bucket. Presto - you just made a liner.

I add an empty yogurt container, they fit very well.

I use an empty Ball jar. Works great.

I like to use large pickle jars, they have a wider opening that helps catch the grease from the smokebox. Large sour cream containers work great too and both of these items would have just got thrown out so technically they don't cost you anything. After your done cooking put the lid on and it keeps the critters and dogs out of the drippings.

The liners fit good. Containers that you are able to put a lid on is a great option as mentioned.

I bought these from Amazon, they fit good.

I get a feeling from reading the answers that the 340 has a smaller bucket then the Bull.

I've also added a small double-folded U-shaped piece of aluminum foil that I tuck under the grease spout so it goes between the spout and into the glass jar in the bucket. This provides a cheap trough to make sure the grease goes directly into the jar, rather than dripping outside it. Makes for easier cleanup.

Did my first cook on the RT 700 yesterday. I was going to do ribs but my lady was hankering for beef shish-kabobs. 250 for 30 min then 300 for 40 min. Grill stayed within 1 degree of set point, iPhone app worked flawlessly as well. Later today, I’ll do the ribs! Loving this RECTEC Bull! The Kabobs were perfect! Med rare.

I use a traeger bucket and liner on my 590 that I had spare for my old grill. I put a Rec Tec sticker over the traeger logo, so it's all legit.

I don't do anything but wash the bucket every 3-4 cooks. Same with the drip pan. Life is too short to fool with foil IMO.

I am a rookie and a little OCD. I will probably vacuum out the bottom and fire pot before each use and change the drip pan foil too. I am really concerned of grease fires and back burns until I get some experience built up.

You stand more chance of a grease fire with foil on the drip pan. The pan is smooth. What doesn't run off cooks onto the pan. Wrinkled foil doesn't drain as well. What you don't want to do is cook something greasy like chicken or burgers and immediately turn the grill off. Let it run for 10-15 minutes after you are done especially in cold weather. How often you clean the fire pot depends a lot on the pellets you use. Don't over think it. It ain't rocket science.

Thanks for the tip. When you let it run for 10-15 minutes after you are done, should it be turned down some too?

Totally agree foil is not your friend on the drip pan..
