Hilbe do you have a plug for the Trailblazer?

Measure the inside width of the hole in MM with a caliper. The 2 sizes I’ve seen are in the 36 to 38mm range

I can do that.

It will be a few days since my wife has the Trailblazer buried with stuff for the garage sale this weekend. Luckily the Bullseye is still accessible

For the Trailblazer I got 27.5 by 14

Sort of looks like it's oval or circular. Any chance I can get you to mail me a template?

Shove some steel wool in the drain tube. They’re not going through that.

I can try to trace the outside of it.

That would work great.

Shout out to forum member Charles Shell. I think I sent him 15 to 25 prototypes of a grease drain port plug for his Stampede before we got one that fit. No more worries about mice/rats climbing into the barrel.

I put a wad of steel wool in my drain spout and take it out when I cook. Steel wool is abrasive to the rat's nose so they stay away. I also heard that balled up tin foil works as well

I don't know how you guys keep your grills so clean! Mine looks like it it was dipped in grease. lol

 

[KRedman]

This better? Lol.

Hilbe I was able to get an impression on at piece of white top corrugated. PM me an address to mail it to you.

Hilbe the mailman delivered early today so the patterns should go out tomorrow. In the mean time here are all few photos. Sorry about poor quality. Grill buried in dark corner do to last weekends garbage sale.

Would love one of these plugs for the Trailblazer, @Hilbe . Did you ever wind up making one?

I actually just ordered off your etsy store thinking I could make the 590 version work with the Trailblazer (or give it to a friend with a 590), but if you have the Trailblazer one to send me instead, I'd love it.

I've got one but someone said it didn't fit. I'll throw it in for free and you can tell me if it fits.

I made a removable plug with heavy duty foil. Been using same chunk for a couple years. Problem solved.
