Stanbroil Pellet Grill Hopper Extension for Traeger Pro 22/34/575/780 — Black Powder-Coated Steel, +18 lb Capacity

The Stanbroil Pellet Grill Hopper Extension adds 18 pounds of extra pellet capacity to compatible Traeger pellet grills so you can smoke and grill longer without refueling.

Running low on pellets mid-smoke is one of the most common annoyances for backyard pitmasters. The Stanbroil hopper extension is a bolt-on steel add-on designed to fit Traeger Pro Series 22 and 34, Pro Series 575 and 780 (models without a pellet sensor), Tailgater 20, Junior 20, and Bronson 20 grills. With an additional 18 lb capacity, it reduces refill frequency and helps maintain steady fuel supply during long cooks like brisket or pulled pork.

How does the hopper extension keep my grill running longer?

The extension creates extra storage space on top of your existing Traeger hopper so you can load more pellets at once. That larger reservoir supplies the auger for extended burn times and fewer interruptions during multi-hour cooks.

• Adds roughly 18 pounds of pellet capacity to the stock hopper.
• Compatible with several Traeger models (Pro 22, Pro 34, 575, 780 without pellet sensor, Tailgater/Junior/Bronson 20).
• Reduces the need to reload pellets for long smoking sessions or unattended cooks.

Will it fit my Traeger and how hard is installation?

The Stanbroil extension is designed to sit on and attach to the existing Traeger hopper rim with minimal tools. It ships ready to use and includes the fittings needed to integrate with the stock hopper, so most users can install it in a few minutes.

• Ready to use out of the box; no custom cutting or modification required.
• Mounts to the existing hopper—follow the included simple instructions.
• Check your model: compatible with listed Traeger models without a pellet sensor.

What is the build quality and how will it hold up outdoors?

Constructed from black powder-coated steel, the extension resists surface wear and complements the look of most pellet smokers. The finish helps protect against weather exposure, though standard weather protection practices—like covering your grill—still prolong life.

• Durable black powder-coated steel construction for rust and scratch resistance.
• Designed to match the aesthetic of Traeger-style pellet smokers.
• Easy to clean and maintain with routine care.

Does the extension affect pellet feeding or temperature control?

The hopper extension does not change the auger, firepot, or grill controller; it simply increases pellet capacity. Because it is a passive storage accessory, pellet feed rate and temperature control remain governed by your grill’s factory electronics.

• No modifications to auger or controller required—maintains original feed mechanics.
• Not compatible with Traeger models that require an integrated pellet sensor without adjustment.
• Use the extension with your usual pellet type for consistent flavor and performance.

Who is this for? The Stanbroil Pellet Grill Hopper Extension is aimed at home grillers and smoking enthusiasts who run multi-hour cooks and want fewer pellet top-ups—especially owners of supported Traeger models without pellet sensors. It’s also a practical upgrade for anyone who prefers longer unattended smoking, weekend cookers preparing large cuts, or backyard hosts who want a cleaner, more continuous pellet supply. Note compatibility before purchase and follow basic grill maintenance to get the best, longest service life from the extension.
