Greetings!

Looking to move to a recteq from my Traeger Ironwood 885. The size of the RT-700 is perfect, but I really would like the option of placing a pan under a brisket/pork butt. Does the Large interior shelf allow me to do that? Was thinking about the 1250 due to the second rack, but read on that forum there is not enough space for a brisket on top, just for ribs and wings and such.

Any experience/comments welcome.

There isn’t much room, but you could make it work in other ways.

1. Use a cookie sheet with a rack insert.

2. The legs on the interior shelf fold so you could place the rack on top of a sturdy pan then lay the meat over top.

3. Remove the grates and place a cookie sheet directly on the drip tray then reinstall the grates. Shown in the turkey pic below.

You’ll want some water or broth in the pan though otherwise the drippings may burn. This happened with the turkey on my 340, I’ve since moved up to the 700 and use broth now to prevent my gravy and other drippings from burning.
