    Pit Boss 850 Pellet Smoker - Insulated Blanket / Welding Blanket

    ...I can't find it available anywhere. Maybe it's because of the time of year. I really didn't want to make my own out of a welding blanket. Have any of you had negative results from making your own out of a welding blanket? Have any of you used both and can tell a difference in heat...

    Steady Temp due to welding blanket issue

    What a great day for smoke'n a brisket in the winter wonderland of Minnesota. This year I decided to invest in a welding blanket to help get control of the temp swings as I believe the only time I can't smoke is when I am gone. So here is the question I am hoping I can get some feedback from...

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

    ...I feel like Newglide brings up a very good point that is worth reiterating. Outside of the multi probe remote thermometer and a welding blanket, it is wise to avoid going crazy or buying a bunch of gadgets, or any gadgets at all until you get some things sorted out. I know I've bought my...

    ...of thumb is to keep it wide open. Also if you have the glass door condensation will build up on it,but making sure your unit is level as @Steve H suggested would be something to check first.In truly cold weather these will still struggle so as suggested above a welding blanket can be a great...

    New smoker in the TX Hill Country

    ...like the one she got (everbody loves pokin' a fire!). Char-Broil American Gourmet 1280. Metal is a bit thin (planning to pickup a welding blanket from Harbor Freight), but I know it will serve me well as a learning tool before I have to figure out a way to tell her why I NEED a 250 gallon...

    Steady Temp due to welding blanket issue

    I use a felt welding blanket year round. Even in hot conditions it keeps the fuel consumption down. I have had no difference in cook times related to the blanket.

    Welding Blanket - 2 thumbs up

    ...to buy a Pit Boss insulated cover for my 800 series but couldn't find available anywhere. Decided to give the $35 Harbor Freight welding blanket a shot and WOW! I don't know how much better the name brand one could be but this was definitely worth it. The temp at 7am Sunday was 30 with a...

    I had a welding blanket covering the smoker. It got blown off 3 times, until I finally tied a rope around the whole thing.

    The Camp Chef factory winter blanket would probably look a little nicer, but I can't imagine it would work any better than my HF welding blanket. I was actually going to spring for the factory made blanket, but it pretty much staid out of stock so I ended up with the welding blanket. Does a fine...

    Will this PID work on "any" electric smoker?

    Regarding Miss Big Chief, don't forget a thermal or welding blanket. She get's cold during these winter days.

    Baby it's cold outside!!!

    Looks great! We saw near 50F Sat here in Ohio so wife said steaks tomorrow. Of course, it's mid 40s Sunday day of cook LOL. Fired up the gasser and for the 2nd time used my new HF welding blanket. OMG it works so well. A little weird to use but results were like summer.

    Good for you. My old welding blanket started smelling pretty good after a few sessions, helping the smoker during winter.

    I use a welding blanket on my WSM when weather gets really cold. I use two heavy duty clamps from HarborFreight to keep it wrapped tight.

    ...insulated, I'm sure an old fashion moving blanket would probably work as well. This is assuming the exterior wall temp is much lower than the interior temp and that the exhaust vent is on top. Electrical smoker? And it's not raining? Seriously? Oh,,,,,,just get a welding...

    Made a 3 sided and top coat for MES 40 out of Reflectix wrap and then HF welding blanket around that. Does well but would be tough in todays -17° and 30mph winds. Real feel temp at -51° now, no smoke for me today :emoji_disappointed:

    ...day, burned a lot of wood, mostly apple with some cherry. My RF "Lefty" is small at 60 gallons, 8 birds max. It was windy so the welding blanket helps out. Trim and rinse birds Inject, dry, oil rub and pepper Birds on to cook. Try to maintain temps above 270F. Cook until IT...
