    Cold weather pellet grill/smoker, SS

    RT 590 Welding blanket (Harbor Freight ) used in ND winter -25° Takes a while to get to temp but when it does, holds quite nicely. I very rarely open the smoker for any reason until my Ink bird Thermometer gets me my optimum temp I'm looking for.

    Cold weather pellet grill/smoker, SS

    ...a few other companies offer an insulated blanket that you can put over the grill in colder weather that helps keep the heat in. Otherwise there are guys here who use welding blankets to cover the grill to help insulate it. I've used my Pit Boss in Minnesota winters down to -40F without an issue.

    Fuel for my offset smoker

    ...next weekend I am going to try and do a while chicken with the fire vent open and the exhaust closed. I am also going to invest in a welding blanket that someone has suggested as I am losing some smoke though the lid as it is only a light and has no weight, which someone else said. Thank you...

    Do you wish that your pellet grill was Stainless Steel?

    Well, in winter, I have a welding blanket over mine, so I'm not sure what color it is. :emoji_stuck_out_tongue:

    Camp chef xxl

    I negotiated a CC blanket when I bought my PG36. The magnets in it were junk, and if you got them too hot the failed altogether. Some Xacto knife skills and some much larger magnets from the hardware store fixed that, but for what they charge I feel I shouldn't have had to do that.

    Which pellet grill I should buy? Traeger, Camp Chef or Req Teq?

    ...one and it works great. They stopped selling them because they said it wasn't really needed. the Rec Teq will reach and hold temp in any weather, but when its around freezing or lower it will use more pellets to do so. Many people use welding blankets for the same purpose because they wont...

    Good afternoon.

    Electric smokers that plug into a 110V 15 or 20A circuit are probably just not going to have enough power to cook in outdoor Michigan winters. Charcoal Brinkmanns or WSMs tend to be single-wall construction, so you can lose a lot of heat out those walls. But if you make up a cardboard box an...

    Which pellet grill I should buy? Traeger, Camp Chef or Req Teq?

    I also run my RT 1250 in the winter, ran it at -7 deg this past winter with 20-25 mph wind....No problem and didn't need a blanket. FYI the 1250 will go up to 700 ish deg.

    Small smoker designated for cerakoting only that is Pid adaptable

    The one for 130.00 is the analog.. You can always get a cheap harbor freight welding blanket to put over the smoker if heat loss is a concern.

    Smoking in the cold weather

    Grab a welding blanket, they are about $25 at harbor freight, wrap that around the cook chamber. Helps steady the temps. Edit: Practice cook equals more food, always a good plan.

    Guess who isn’t smoking for Super Bowl

    -4° and some flurries but still gonna toss some St. Louis on. No wrap no spritz, once the 590 does get to temp it holds pretty well. Welding blanket on to help a bit.

    Adding extra heat element to MES?

    Water heating elements will burn out without water surrounding them. Have you tried adding an insulated blanket like a welding blanket from Harbor Freight? OrHome Depot? Or even a cardboard box? You might be able to use an element from a Big Chief smoker the way you want to.

    I have an insulated blanket for it, so good on that front. Hmm, might just risk it overnight maybe it's in the table for lunch rather than dinner, worst-case.

    ...run 225~250. If you are looking to have the roast for dinner I would put it on about 5am to give it time to rest. You will help yourself by getting a welding blanket or other heat resistant cover for the grill also. As others have said, check Bearcarver tips. You can’t go wrong with his tips.

    Pellet grills/smokers

    My Camp Chef SG24 WIFI runs pretty well in cold temps, but I do put a welding blanket over it in cold weather. Now, I've not run it in minus 35 degree temps, and hope to never see it that cold here, but it runs fine at freezing and what we have had below freezing so far.

    Fuel for my offset smoker

    If you're trying to solve the problem of low heat in your cook chamber, the last thing you'd want to do is close off your exhaust. Most experienced offset owners keep their exhaust (chimney) wide open most of the time or all of the time during a cook. They close the intake and exhaust down...

    Thinking about getting an insulated blanket for my Traeger Pro 34

    ...time I'm over that way. I'm thinking I can fold it up enough to make it work without cutting it. I would get the custom blanket from Camp Chef, but they are out of stock. The welding blanket is way cheaper anyhow, and from the reviews, there are a lot of people using the blankets on pellet...

    Thinking about getting an insulated blanket for my Traeger Pro 34

    I just use a folded welding blanket draped over the top of my GMG. It works fine, and it is not too hot to handle with bare hands. I just take it off when I have to open the lid, and then replace it when I'm done. Simple.
