A neighbor was throwing out a Pro 22, but it’s a bit rusty. Figured I’d ask here before I try to repair it. Once I cleaned it a bit I found some holes one being a decent size. I thought about lining the bottom with some aluminum sheeting and riveting it in place, would this be right way to repair it? I figure if nothing else I’ll toss it after I take the new controller off of it and keep as a spare for my current Traeger.

Hey! It looks like you posted an image!
If this is a photo of one of your cooks, maybe share the recipe and techniques
used, as it’s almost guaranteed one of the first questions you will be asked!
*What seasoning did you use?
*How long did you cook it, and at what temperature?
*Did you use any special tricks or techniques?
Traeger on!

You could remove the whole assembly that makes the unit what it is, then cut a hole in a passive smoker to fit it, drill holes for the screws, and basically turn it into a counterfeit Traeger. But that’s assuming the rust hasn’t rotted the critical parts.
Depends if the rust has made it to every part of the grill and if the wholes affect the temperature. If you like fixing things for a hobby, then sure, otherwise you’re dumping money into a piece of junk.
