To all forum members- I bought one of Shawn's heavy-duty, stainless steel drip trays and fire pot heat shields three years ago for my T1300 D2. I use my grill several times a week and his gear is fantastic- the best accessories I've purchased for my T1300 D2. It has a proper full-lip that sits completely into the front drip collection trough, proper flanges on left and right side that accommodate not only foil but also Traeger pre-made foil drip tray liners. Lastly, it has a solid tab that drops into the rectangular tab at the back of the grill so you have an actual drip angle if you aren't using a drip catching pan. Most of the time I leave his drip tray flat as I like to use the bottom most grill flat and low to the heat and I use a big roasting pan to catch drippings for turkey or pork butts, etc. It was pricey, but man- it's been like having M1A1 tank armor inside my T1300. Just disappointed that Trager cheaps-out on such a critical item but glad Shawn is around.
