In Search Of WSM Smoker Jacket

[mng024]

Just curious if anyone has one laying around they no longer use and would be willing to sell?

You mean the original equipment cover? Or something to insulate the smoker in cold weather?

The OEM cover is NOT waterproof without spraying it, and the spray breaks down fairly quickly. I quit using mine and switched to a cheap tarp and a couple of long bungies for storms.

You can insulate it with a cheap welder's blanket and a 3-4 spring clamps.

Bbq guru makes an insulated blanket for cold weather, just seeing if one is out there before going another route (like the welders blanket or hot water heater blanket).

Gotcha! No need for insulation where I am. About the lowest I've smoked is the 20s(F), no insulation. But I'm NorCal, not Wisconsin.

I live in Vt. and I haven't seen a need for one either. I've smoked in the single digits before. Normally it's me that gives up instead of the WSM.

LOL that's funny!
I know my smoker was built to live and work outside in the cold but i wasn't either!!!
WSM is a good smoker isn't it, Chris!

Happy Smoking,

A word to the wise about welding blankets... The junk ones are woven fiberglass and aside from liking to shed like golden retriever, they make you itch like crazy.
