Insulating a Propane Smoker

[fluffydawg]

Is this insulation mildew resistant and is it foil backed both sides.

It's starting to get winter time here in philly. I'm going to have to look into this.

I'm using this idea for my smoke vault with great results. I have had Temps up to 275°f without any problems

Is the original poster still around? I just posted a topic about this exact topic but would ike to see how its done, is it something he can take off as a "whole unit" or is it some how glued on

I copied the OP, except I cut panels to fit,taped the seams. Cut a piece for the front door,picked up some bad @$$ little magnets and stuck the door and loose edges on.

All told I've got $20 tied up in it. Maintaining temp is a breeze and saves propane

I wonder if high temperature ever became an issue with this product if you could use strips of cement board as a spacer to prevent direct contact with the outside of the smoker.

Does the insulation you use have aluminum foil on both sides and a plastic bubble type of filling ( in the middle) ?

New Masterbuilt smoker ( Smoker and Me) Can't seem to get the temperature UNDER 200 degrees. Any ideas?

Creative solution! Thanks for posting this.

Really late to the party. Did you block the air vents in the bottom of the vertical smoker? Do you simply leave them wide open but still wrap over them with the insulation material?
