The Traeger Junior only has a 14 pound pellet hopper which works great on short cooks. But sometimes you just want to do an overnight cook or find the need to leave the house for a few hours and dont want to run out of pellets. I have seen many solutions like taping a 12 pack box to the Hopper or purchasing an expensive after market Hopper extender.

I think the person who posted this called it a redneck Hopper extension. It Just flat out works.  I have Duct work reducer 8 inch  to 6 inch  I use it only on long cooks. when filled to the top it supplies 5 hours of pellets. They also make Duct work reducer 12 inch to 6 inch  and 10 inch to 6 inch.  My local hardware store only had they 8 inch one. For less then $10 it has served me well.

    1. It's a smoker tube. I'm assuming adding a different wood for more flavour .

  3. Southern Yankee - these are rotisserie bbq smokers and they have many models to choose from. They range from small pull behind rotisseries to large concession trailers. They start at $3750 and go up from there. vertical pellet smoker under 500
