    Cold Weather Pellet Smoking

    Been a number of years since I experienced winter in northern Minnesota. I have a pellet pooper with a side vent. A welding blanket tossed over the cook chamber was very noticeable for heat retention. I drew the line in the snow at 0° F for outdoor cooking. Remove that idiot finger shield from...

    MES Peculiarities

    As mentioned, extra thermometer, keep the door closed, and out of the wind. Wind is my worst enemy even over cold temps and I have my 40 wrapped with reflextic and welding blanket.

    Harbor Freight welding blanket does the trick at the price.

    If you cut the welding blanket to size. Make sure to have the sides sewn with binder edging. If not it will feel like you rolled around in fiberglass insulation.

    Never too cold. I have a cold weather cover-its like a fitted welding blanket. Just burns more fuel the colder it is.

    Throw a welding blanket over the cook chamber, then (not the firebox as it will get too hot for the blanket). It will help keep heat generated in the firebox from escaping as fast.

    What tools does a beginner need after getting an offset smoker? (BUDGET minded)

    I don't blanket until temps get below 60°F (16C).

    Tell me what to buy.... Cabelas

    ...are running with a wide open stack, so again what difference does it make where the heat loss is coming from? If anything buy a welding blanket to cover the smoker in cold temps, a lot of people say that you really don't need those either, I wouldn't know because I live in sunny CA, where 40*...

    I really think they have you covered with an instant read, a wireless dual probe and a welding blanket (Harbor Freight) Looks like via this awesome community you can get 2 of the 3 free!

    This had been a very interesting read. I am pretty new at this and will definitely look into the welding blanket. Although here in Aus we dont get super cold but anything that helps with temps control will be good

    Thanks, I saw a fitted one for around $70 bucks, but wasn't sure if they were good or not. Might just go with the welding blanket & cut it to size.

    Camp Chef makes a fancy custom winter blanket for my SG24. There are also aftermarket ones out there on Amazon for mine but I cheaped out on a welding blanket from Harbor Freight. Doesn't look as pretty but gets the job done for less $$$$$.

    Throwing a welding blanket over the cook chamber will buy you a bit by limiting heat loss, to some degree. I use one on the Camp Chef in winter. It'll pretty much hold temps in cold, but the blanket saves fuel.

    ...the different sub-forums and already see some things I want to explore. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions! Great tip on the welding blanket. I didn't even think about using that as a cover and had already gone the inexperienced/expensive route, and had ordered a Traeger blanket. It's good...

    I just found one online for my MB GS. I was wondering if they are worth it?

    Difficult decision…help! 1 LSG or 3 recteq

    I have the small RecTeq and a bullseye and love the versatility of the two different grills. Use the bullseye for week day and fast cooks and the trailblazer as a smoker. I put a welding blanket on the trailblazer in winter. That smoker is very efficient on pellet consumption.

    Yes I agree 100% I just wanted everybody to be aware if you cut a welding blanket it will start releasing the fibers & feel like you rolled around in fiberglass.

    Just leaving it whole and folding to fit is a better way.

    Beef Ribs

    With beef ribs, I find simple is better - just salt, pepper, and oak wood with a touch of mesquite thrown in. Cook at 300 for about six hours, until probe tender. Wrap in peach paper and rest for 1-2 hours, rolled up in a welding blanket, or placed in an ice chest.

    I just fold it so it fits, giving me several layers of insulation.
