How Cold Outside....

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

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

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 $$$$$.

I would say yes. Rec Teq stopped selling them, no clue why. Rumor I heard was they said "it wasnt needed" maybe not needed, but will save a punch on pellets. I notice a significant pellet consumption difference with vs without cover when cold.

I agree. My SG24 will hold temps fine no matter how cold it gets, but I burn a lot less fuel with the blanket on in cold weather.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I have a 24 inch wide cook chamber so went with the 4x6. Folded it in half on the 4 foot side, then folded it long ways a couple times to make it fit the cook chamber top to bottom. Fits perfect for all of $23.

I would definitely stich it up if I cut it. I appreciate the heads up though.
