Silverton 810 Insulation Blanket

[Willy B]

Trying to find Silverton 810 Insulation Blanket on Traeger website. Does it exist? According to Traeger rep at Costco when I bought it does.

I believe that Traeger only makes insulation covers for there grills with chimneys.

I used to own the Traeger patio grill, which is similar to the silverton. I used a welding blanket for insulation. The main reason I sold that grill was the heat loss through the large lid. Now own an ironwood 885 and am much happier

Not sure how picky you are but I bought a welding blanket from Harbor Frieght for around $30.00 that I use for my Traeger in the winter. I just double it over and drape it over the lid. I am thinking about wither attaching some hooks or magnets sometime before this winter to help keep it in place. Last year I would use a scrap piece of 2x10 I had laying around, to sit on top of it to keep it from blowing off. For me it was a lot better then spending over $100.00 for a grill blanket.

I used the magnets on my welding blanket as well. Make sure they are heavy duty. I had to use about 8 of them.

Thanks for the tips. Don't know how much cold weather grilling will actually do so the welding blanket might be a good option

It definitely helps save on pellets for the long cooks. If you are just doing something quick I am not sure how much it helps. If you don't plan on doing any long cooks over the winter (briskets, butts, etc.) it might not be worth the trouble. I did a prime rib last year on X-mas morning and it was only like 10 degrees out. It likely helped with pellets and consistent temps in that case.

Correct. I tried putting a blanket from a 22 series on the IW650. It almost fits if I adjust the straps enough, but it blocks the exhaust.

That’s what I thought, thanks for the confirmation!

I just picked up this thermal blanket: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZFB1RJS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is pretty close to a full cover and doesn't block the exhaust! Used it a couple of times below freezing and pellet consumption dropped back to my summer rate ~ 1-1.5#'s hour.
