I bought one of these for cleaning the grates. A little pricey but worth it.

Agreed. I vacuum seal and freeze and my son heats it up a week later in the sous vide, and says its juicy and fresh.

If sealed properly and kept in a good freezer (below 0F/minus 18C) it will be just as good a year later....if it last that long.

A cheap welding blanket and a couple of hand spring wood clamps to hold it closed on the hot end. Works wonders on Christmas Eve when it's about 15 degrees out and the winds blowing. https://www.northerntool.com/products/klutch-fiberglass-welding-blanket-6ft-x-4ft-113661

If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, they also carry welding blankets. Amazon should also have them for those would cannot get them locally.

I keep an ash vacuum cleaner around for all my bbq’s. Know ash is out but like the idea of a metal canister. Safety thing, if you have a fire place it does dual duty.

I'd very much like to find a wood pelletizer... for a price I can afford....
Authentic Jerk (chicken, pork, etc.) must be cooked over Pimento (Allspice) wood. (This is not the same plant as the one used to make pimento cheese.) Unfortunately, this wood is being over-harvested in Jamaica, so authentic Jerk meat is becoming harder to find. It used to be possible to buy and import some *very* expensive Pimento wood into the USA, but I heard the Jamaican government has recently restricted or banned its harvest.
Happily, I'm growing my own Pimento tree here in Tennessee, even though it's a tropical plant. I have it in a 24" container mounted on casters so I can bring it indoors for the winter. I've been collecting leaves and twigs and have several grocery bags full. The problem is leaves and twigs aren't going to fit into the pellet auger.
I've seen pelletizers that are used for chicken feed, but I'm not sure they are robust enough to handle wood products.
It might be cool to make custom mixes of wood for the smoker as well.

Use the Traeger temp probe gets you close. Wish they had a simple step to calibrate it.
If you have extra cash: Have the Thermoworks pen and does fine close to $100
Bang for the buck: OklahomaJoes instant Read Thermometer is the go to gives you pen, external probe, rechargeable for less than half price. Has a magnetic back to just attach to steel surface. 5328279P06. Got mine at Meijer
Econony but trust worthy: Deltatrak 11083 Jumbo display auto cal needle probe is around $20 NSF approved. Wassertom Restaurant Supply.
September bbq stuff is on sale so take advantage.
Ross has nice bbq covers from time to time just measure your grill ahead of time and keep info on a folder in your phone for BBQ thoughts.
Nice matt under grill is a plus.
I also put a heavy duty magnet on the drip bucket rest area , how many have bumped it and made a mess. U shape style magnet keeps it in place.

Yes, they are really great. The 575 doesn't produce much smoke but what it does hangs around in the top half so now I can put most things on the top rack, get more smoke that way, been a game changer for us.
