Now you're ready to place the grease drip tray and grill grate back
into the grill. Hang the grease bucket on the grease drain spout on
the back of the grill to catch grease drippings.
RECOMMENDATION:
with Traeger® Aluminum Drip Tray Liners or heavy-duty aluminum foil.
If using foil, be sure the edges and ends of the foil are tight against
the bottom of the grease drip tray. Replace foil after each cook to
reduce the possibility of a grease fire. Please see "Maintaining Your
Grill" on page 24 for more details. Change drip tray liners frequently
to reduce the risk of fire. Do not use drip tray liners when cooking at
temperatures above 375°F (190°C).

Close the lid and press the IGNITE button. Once the grill reaches
450°F (250°C), let it run for 30 minutes with the lid closed to
complete the seasoning process. When seasoning is complete,
shut down the grill.
