In the process of cleaning the traeger for some holiday grilling! My father needs help finding a replacement for a very rusted/deteriorated part. I believe he has a Pro 34 model— the part in need of replacement is in the second photo, a flat, square piece with a hole in the middle of it, located at the center of the smoking chamber. I attached a photo from the traeger site that I think is the correct replacement part and need help confirming. Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you!!!

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!

Posting here for an answer as well, my Pro 575 from 2020 looks just as bad, if not worse. The chamber has rust holes in it, but still seems to work. I doubt it’s as efficient though
I would think you’d need this here, OP. The “hot rod” is what ignites the pellets and yours is likely as fucked as mine seems to be.

You need a new burn pot. You can buy one from Traeger, however there are stainless steel ones available from Amazon and the like, probably for less money. While you are at it, go ahead and replace the hot-rod ignitor at the some time. Again, much less expensive from Amazon.
I have replaced two burn pots and hot-rods in 15 years of having a Traeger. Generally not difficult or expensive, any requiring hand tools.
New fire pot and hot rod by the looks of it
You need this for the Pro 34. [Hot Rod and Firepot assembly](https://pellet-stove-parts-4less.com/collections/traeger-pro-series-34/products/traeger-pellet-grill-hot-rod-igniter-burn-pot-kit)
Burn put. I replaced mine on my year 2000ish Traeger this summer. Change the hot rod while you’re at it.
