Z Grills 550B Hopper Extension

thingiverse

I love my Z Grills 550B smoker. But for long cooks, the hopper isn't nearly big enough to hold enough pellets. So I designed this to fit snugly in to the hopper opening so I could load up enough pellets to get through a 14 to 18 hour cook. I printed this on one of my Adimlab printers... it will take every bit of the 31cm by 31cm build plate...so if you don't have a larger format printer, you may need to print this on its side and will need a ton of supports. I added some metal furnace tape wrapped over the bottom edge of this as the metal on the hopper can get warm several hours in to a cook. Otherwise, it worked well and I completed a 14 hour smoke without having to add any pellets. :D
