BAC012 Drip Pan for Traeger Pro 20 Series - Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel

In this review of the BAC012 Drip Pan for Traeger Pro 20 Series grills, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, heavy-duty replacement for owners who need a reliable stainless steel drip tray that fits newer Lil' Tex and similar 22 in series grills. The reviewer found it most valuable for anyone replacing a worn or rusted pan because it is made of high-gauge stainless steel, matches the original form factor, and is easy to clean and reinstall without fuss.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Measures 20 3/4 in x 15 3/4 in x 4 in so it closely matches the original tray size used in many 22 in series grills when the old part is the correct size.
• Wide compatibility: Designed to fit a long list of models including Lil' Tex, Lil' Tex Elite, Lil' Tex Pro, Pro Series 22 and other 22 in grills for straightforward replacement.
• Stainless steel construction: High-gauge stainless resists corrosion and holds up to regular grilling use, making it durable over many cook cycles.
• Heat baffle design: Functions as a drip pan and heat baffle replacement, helping maintain even heat and protecting internal grill components from grease.
• Easy to maintain: Simple geometry and stainless finish make the pan easy to clean by hand or with mild detergents after use.

Who It's For

This drip pan is ideal for backyard grill owners who use Lil' Tex and other compatible 22 in pellet smokers and need a like-for-like replacement that restores function and appearance. It suits customers who value durability and low maintenance, particularly those replacing a rusted or dented original part.

It is less suitable for owners of grills outside the listed compatibility or anyone who has a nonstandard or custom-sized tray, so measure the old tray before ordering to ensure the stated 20 3/4 in x 15 3/4 in x 4 in dimensions match your unit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy to clean and maintain, which keeps the cooking area sanitary and simple to service.
