    Howdy and welcome to the group. Don't have a CookShack, but maybe picking up a welding blanket from Harbor Freight to drape over it may help.

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

    ...I also think the welding blanket would be a good choice. Whether it's cold or not, more insulation will never hurt and only lead to more consistent and longer lasting temps. Outside those 2 items, some heavy duty real metal, no bendy, tongs. So you can pick up a big giant pork butt with...

    building electric smoker from uninsulated bread proofer. what to wrap it in...

    Personally, I would worry about insulating it. If anything you could screw in some hooks around the top edge then hang a welding blanket from the hooks. I wouldn't even do that though, I'd use it as is, but I'm in Cali. we don't get cold enough to effect a smoker. I've used uninsulated Lure...

    Pork butt overnight on Pit Boss 820 XL - only 153 deg after 10 hours at 200 F. Should I be concerned that it was <140F for hours?

    Side note for us Northern cookers, pick up a welding blanket at HF Tools and throw that over your grill when cooking or smoking. Makes a BIG difference on holding the heat in and at a steady temp.

    Got like 20lbs smoked stuff all vac sealed up for the moment I start jonesing, no ribs tho. That said curious how the Smokefire does in the cold, have not tried it. Have a welding blanket for my gasser.

    HALP, Ribs &football on a cold day

    If you have a welding blanket or a friend who does, just drape it over the CC & keep adding charcoal & wood. You will need a big fire. Good luck & keep us posted! Also there is no shame in finishing them in the oven! Al

    Concrete Protection from Rust

    I would find out what type/kind of sealer was used first. You said it looked “glossy”. Does the concrete get slippery or slick when wet?[/USER]

    Concrete Protection from Rust

    ...It seems more like a welding blanket or woven material of some kind as opposed to a rubber mat. Now to my questions... @Its_Raw, is your new cooking area covered and protected from sun and rain? Is this concrete pad covered overhead? I know it's an internet pic, but am curious if you know...

    I still kickin, not dead yet.

    Glad to hear you and your mom are still amongst us! Just FYI the pellet should work well at that elevation as should it when it’s cold…..but might have to put a welding blanket over it for the real cold days! On and yes life happens and priorities change but you still got to eat right?

    How should I smoke with this setup?

    ...get wood for free I never tried bricks for a heat sink, but I doubt it will do much. To me, the best method to hold heat would be a welding blanket put over the cover. With the amount those thing leak smoke the blanket will be stained very quickly. I thought about adding an interior liner...

    New RecTeq models

    If you find you need a blanket, and they don't have a cold weather blanket for their grill, you can get welding blankets pretty cheap at Harbor Freight.

    I'd make sure it's just level as Steve suggested. The welding blanket is a big plus in truly cold weather. All I use are a couple of bungee cords to keep wrapped and in place. And when the time comes there are some simple mods that will turn your MES into a much more user friendly smoker. When...

    Advice about needed about my makeshift vertical smoker

    ...connecting it to the existing stack? Or keep it more of a casual, convenient relationship? 2. I read that someone here recommended a welding blanket for insulation. Thoughts? Presently I just keep the firebox opening totally exposed, no door, controlling the temp with the damper in the main...

    I'm in the finger lakes. You can tip back if you wish. Level should be fine.

    ...change with temp/humidity/elevation, etc. etc. Masterbuilt smokers have none. Or little insulation to keep even temp. I bought a cheap harbor freight welding blanket to insulate the smoker. Do a search for that mod. Keeping the smoker out of the wind in cold weather helps as well. Smoke on!

    Commitment or keep it casual?

    ...connecting it to the existing stack? Or keep it more of a casual, temporary relationship? 2. I read that someone here recommended a welding blanket for insulation. Maybe more effective and stylish than what I made? Might help convince spouse to agree to a permanent attachment. Presently I...

    It's a digital model. Glad what I'm experiencing isn't uncommon. Level or if anything slightly tipped backwards? Definitely going to invest in the welding blanket as I plan on smoking my way through a Western New York winter.

    Inconsistent Temperatures MES

    ...I posted and A roll of this and you'd only have about $300 stuck into your smoker. I made A wrap of this with foil tape and also use welding blanket. Tough to beat this for sausage ,fish etc. where lower temps are needed. Most pellet grills, the low end for temps is about 180-190°...

    New member, electric smoker questions

    Like @Steve H said, little insulation in the MES smokers. I wrapped mine in reflectix wrap and then a Harbor Freight welding blanket. Use it this way yr round . Kinda want to keep the damper open fully to avoid stale smoke. Would "highly" suggest using a digital thermometer inside to verify your...

    Inconsistent Temperatures MES

    ...the digital MES. Much better than I ever expected. Do not think analog can really compete there if it was anything like my gasser. Welding blanket hack might work but do not know. So I stand on my recommendation of the digital before PID as it's cheaper to do. I recommend going wifi if...
