Large 37" x 12" Work Surface

One of the biggest advantages of the Traeger BAC363 is its generous size.

At approximately 37 inches long and 12 inches wide, the shelf creates a substantial work surface across the front of your grill.

Use it for:

• Preparing meat before cooking
• Holding barbecue tools
• Setting down sheet pans
• Holding serving platters
• Seasoning steaks and burgers
• Saucing ribs or chicken
• Resting cooked meat
• Holding temperature probes
• Keeping seasonings nearby
• Setting down oven mitts
• Holding plates and utensils
• Keeping beverages within reach

The large surface makes the shelf especially useful when cooking large quantities of food on the spacious Pro 34.

Convenient Folding Design

The BAC363 is designed to provide extra workspace without permanently increasing the footprint of your grill.

When you need the shelf, simply raise it into the horizontal working position.

When you’re finished grilling, fold the shelf downward against the front of the grill.

This folding design provides several advantages:

• Reduces the grill’s footprint during storage
• Makes it easier to move around the grill
• Keeps the patio area more organized
• Allows a compatible grill cover to fit properly
• Provides workspace only when you need it

Traeger specifically designed the shelf so the grill can still be covered when the shelf is folded down.

Durable Steel Construction

The Traeger BAC363 is manufactured from durable steel for dependable outdoor use.

The sturdy construction provides a solid surface for everyday grilling tasks while maintaining the rugged appearance of the Traeger Pro Series.

Steel construction provides:

• Strong support
• Long-term durability
• Resistance to everyday wear
• Stable workspace
• Factory-quality appearance
• Easy cleaning

Because this is an original Traeger accessory, the shelf is designed to complement the appearance and dimensions of compatible grills.

Makes Food Preparation Easier

Pellet grills are often used for longer cooks, which means there are plenty of times when you need somewhere to temporarily set food, tools, or accessories.

Without a front shelf, grill owners frequently end up balancing trays on the hopper, carrying everything back to the kitchen, or adding a separate outdoor table.

The BAC363 creates a convenient work area directly in front of the cooking chamber.

You can move food directly:

Prep Tray → Grill → Shelf → Serving Platter

This can make the entire cooking process more organized and efficient.

Ideal for Large BBQ Cooks

The Traeger Pro 34 provides a large cooking area, making it popular for cooking larger quantities of food.

That means you may be handling:

• Multiple racks of ribs
• Whole briskets
• Pork shoulders
• Whole chickens
• Burgers
• Steaks
• Sausages
• Vegetables
• Large roasting pans

The BAC363 gives you the additional workspace needed when transferring large trays of food to and from the grill.

Great Landing Area for BBQ Tools

During a long cook, grill tools tend to accumulate quickly.

The front shelf provides a convenient place for:

• Tongs
• Spatulas
• Meat thermometers
• Basting brushes
• BBQ gloves
• Foil
• Seasoning bottles
• Sauce bottles
• Cutting boards
• Serving trays

Keeping these items directly in front of the grill means less walking back and forth while cooking.

Factory-Style Fit

Unlike a universal outdoor table or aftermarket shelf, the Traeger BAC363 is designed specifically for compatible Traeger grills.

This provides:

• Proper shelf width
• Correct mounting alignment
• Appropriate folding clearance
• Clean appearance
• Convenient positioning
• Compatibility with grill covers when folded

The result is an accessory that looks integrated with the grill rather than added as an afterthought.

Installation / Use Instructions

Installation is straightforward on compatible grills.

1. Make sure the grill is turned off and completely cool.
2. Locate the factory shelf mounting locations on the front of the grill.
3. Position the supplied shelf mounting brackets as directed.
4. Secure the brackets using the appropriate mounting hardware.
5. Attach the BAC363 shelf to the brackets.
6. Tighten all hardware securely.
7. Raise the shelf into the working position.

Care & Maintenance

Keeping the BAC363 clean is simple.

After grilling:

• Allow the grill and shelf to cool.
• Remove loose food and debris.
• Wipe the shelf with a damp cloth.
• Use mild soap and water for grease or sauce residue.
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• Avoid highly abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
• Keep the grill covered when not in use.

Cleaning sauces, grease, and marinades promptly will help maintain the appearance of the shelf.

The BAC363 gives you:

• More preparation space
• More serving space
• Better organization
