Grill left behind In house I moved into. Left outside in tropical rain so some rust. Is it worth/safe to restore or don’t worry about it and get a new grill?

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!

clean the drip pan and put new foil on it. I find it works best if you curve the foil up on the edges but do not wrap it around (it obstructs air flow if you wrap it around). Vacuum out the inside. If it runs, set it high and run it for 30/60 minutes to cook the mold off. Scrub the loose stuff off the grill but no need to go overboard. Ignore the rust. Enjoy your new traeger.
Edit: looks don’t matter. All that matters is — does it run?

Zep heavy duty citrus degreaser after you cook off the mold. I would probably just replace the heat diffuser and drip pan since they aren’t too bad in cost.

Order new parts and you will be fine
