    Smoking in the winter cold, wind, rain, and wind

    Welding blanket from Harbor Freight is the most common hack for that. This might sting a bit but can you possibly return it? I'd much rather have one of the digital models that's insulated. TONS on FB Marketplace cheap here and probably even cheaper now that TG is over. :emoji_laughing:

    Harbor Freight shears

    When I was at Harbor Freight getting a welding blanket to insulate my pellet grill, I picked up this pair of stainless steel shears. I think they will be perfect for spatchcock chicken/turkey.

    Pellet grills/smokers

    I have a knock off Traeger made by Masterbuilt. I make it work. Welding blanket in cooler temps. It is a heat source. I use a smoke tube to make it a smoker. I do not use it for grilling as it is not a grill. My kettle is a grill. Kids across the street have a Cabelas rebranded Pitboss...

    Vertical Cabinet Smoker Build, reverse flow or no?

    Might have also been a liability thing which I can't blame him for. I'm leaning toward charcoal because I've only ever used a pellet pooper and MES and want something with the ability to get flavor closer to a stick burner, if fireboard sold the stuff to make your own pellet pooper like...

    Thinking about getting an insulated blanket for my Traeger Pro 34

    The welding blanket sounds like a maybe since it’s pretty inexpensive. Would I just lay it over the top? What do you do with it when you gotta open the lid? Does it get too hot to touch or do I need a pair of fire gloves to mess with it?

    Pellet grill winter prep and winter cooking

    Have ran mine down to -15°. Welding blanket on helps but will still eat a lot of pellets. Opening only once start to finish is key because of the recovery time.

    Thinking about getting an insulated blanket for my Traeger Pro 34

    ...the pellet grills will/should work to pretty darn cold, but the insulations helps a ton. I use it fall to spring. Many use welding blankets they are quite affordable and I suspect you could cut it down and customize it? just guessing. there is nothing to do to the grill before putting a...

    Smoking in the winter cold, wind, rain, and wind

    I probably could have but I modded it with additional vents. I did get it cheap tho. Its currently sitting at 270 on full tilt in 40 degree weather with no wind shield. The amaze pellet smoker it churning away pretty good too.

    Early Easter Ham---Glad I'm Doing It Today, GMG Problems

    ...Jeff's maple syrup & rub recipe a whirl. Thanks for the video, Jeff! Got it prepped, and into the GMG Daniel Boone at 225°, with a welding blanket on top, because it's 49° outside and a little windy. Can't remember who came up with this, but I'm using a modified tube pellet smoker, so thanks...

    ...the point from the flat, and cook them on 2 racks--one above the other (point above flat). I also filled the water dish with sand, and ALWAYS KEEP THE TOP VENT WIDE OPEN. On cold windy days, a welding blanket wrapped around it will fix any problems with heat retention. So enjoy your MES. Gary

    It finally happen....Need a new Pellet Grill...Calling Rec-Teq Owners/Users?

    ...they don't make a blanket anymore because they said they do fine without it. They suggested if I really want one just buy a cheap welding blanket (HF) for it so it can be tossed each year because it gets messy...... Thanks and I know....NOT having a pellet for convenience it killing me and...

    Questions on SMD200a settings, best wood pellets, pellets vs chips

    You know, I had considered welding blankets but dismissed them because of being so thin and itchy fibreglass material. Just couldn't get it thru my head that they would work. If you were satisfied with the ability to to turn cold and pretty heavy winds, it looks like I need to rethink the...

    Propane burner inside firebox

    ...gap in the pictures. It is pretty much air tight other than the stack and vents. There are no dampers other than the vents. So the welding blanket solution would essentially be sandwiching the layered blankets between some 18 ga steel on the outside of the existing lid? I guess the sides of...

    Suggestions, please!

    ...swapped the heat element in my MES 30 for one made for a MES 40--cheap and easy. You can also wrap your MES up in an inexpensive welding blanket for extra insulation. You'll be smoking just fine in weather that's too cold to be out in. Afraid I know nothing about pellet poopers. I expect...

    Hot N Fast Pork on a Blustery Day!

    Propane burner inside firebox

    ...fb more. would adding a coal basket inside the fb be a more cost effective/safer option? would fire bricks in the cc be an option? Welding blanket? in an ideal world, I would go get 2 sheets of 1/8 and weld them up but I do not have the resources to accomplish this. thank you all for...

    Flat Top - Grease Splatter?

    ...a tendency to "spill a lot" according to Mrs. Wurtz?! 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ LOL! Very little to any at the back of the unit. You might want to look at an 8'X8" fiberglass blanket to give you all around protection. Hope this is some help. 🍻 John 8 ft. x 8 ft. Fiberglass Welding Blanket (harborfreight.com)

    Propane burner inside firebox

    Can you post a pic of the inside of your firebox? What do you place your wood on currently. How big are the splits you are using?
