Traeger-compatible replacement drip tray, stainless steel

Technical details

This is a stainless-steel replacement drip tray and heat baffle intended for Traeger Ironwood 885 Series pellet grills. The listed dimensions are 28.75 in. by 15.75 in., so checking the tray already in your grill is a practical first step before choosing it.

It is described as compatible with the Ironwood 885 drip tray accessories BCA1333 and KIT0404, as well as the BAC521 drip tray liner. That compatibility information is specific: the listing says it does not fit the Century 885 (BCA1283). Stainless steel is intended to handle heat and resist corrosion, but the supplied details do not establish how the tray performs over time.

What it fits

The main reason to consider this part is to replace a worn or damaged tray in an Ironwood 885, rather than to add a general-purpose grill accessory. Its dimensions and named compatibility codes give you useful points to compare with the original part. They are not a substitute for checking your grill’s model and existing tray size, particularly if you have a different 885-series variant.

During a long cook, the tray sits beneath the cooking area to catch grease, helping limit residue inside the grill and making cleanup less involved. For example, after cooking fatty cuts, it can collect drippings that would otherwise spread below. It won’t remove the need to clean the grill, and no details are given about a coating or a separate liner being included.

It’s a good choice if you need a replacement for the Ironwood 885 and your original part matches the stated dimensions and fit. If you’re comparing it with a more basic, universal tray, its appeal is the model-specific fit information. It won’t suit you if you own the Century 885 or need a tray for a different grill model.

Usage tips

Before installation, compare the listed length and width with your existing tray and confirm the model name on your grill. The listing describes installation and cleanup as straightforward, but it does not provide step-by-step instructions, follow the grill’s own guidance when removing or fitting a hot-grill component.

Once installed, the tray’s job is to catch grease during cooking. Let it cool before handling or cleaning, and keep an eye on grease build-up as part of routine grill care. The product description does not specify a cleaning method, so avoid assuming that a particular cleaner or cleaning tool is recommended.

Before deciding

Is this tray compatible with every Traeger 885 grill? No. It is listed for the Ironwood 885 Series and explicitly excluded from the Century 885 (BCA1283).

Does it include the BAC521 liner? The information says the tray is compatible with that liner, it does not say the liner is included.

What should I compare with my current part? Check the grill model, the original tray’s dimensions and, where available, the accessory code. The listed tray measures 28.75 in. by 15.75 in.

Before buying

The key decision is fit, not simply whether you need a cleaner cooking area. Choose this tray when your grill is an Ironwood 885 and the original part aligns with the stated size and compatibility details. If the model is a Century 885, another grill, or the dimensions don’t match, this listing does not provide a basis for expecting a proper fit. That makes a quick comparison with the original part more useful than relying on the shared “885” name alone.
