Grease bucket fills very quickly or overflows during normal cooking.

Safety first: Allow grease to cool before handling the bucket. Wear gloves.

• 1. Level grill:
  • Ensure the grill is slightly tilted toward the grease bucket side, but not excessively.
• 2. Manage cooks:
  • For very fatty cooks (e.g., pork shoulder, brisket), monitor the grease bucket level periodically.
• 3. Use liners and larger capacity:
  • Use Traeger grease bucket liners and empty them frequently.
• 4. Inspect drain path:
  • Ensure grease is not pooling inside the barrel due to partial blockages.
