Wrapping my Smoker in a wool blanket cold weather

[caroleramos]

You should try for baby in burrito blanket to make your smooker warm. In my opinion it is the only thing which could be used at that temperature at night.

Looks like the manufactured blankets never made it to the 885 sized Traeger grills before the maker "disappeared?"

It is probably not too necessary here in the Phoenix area, but it does get cool - meaning the low 30s.

I have cooked on my traeger in temps under 30 degrees and it did just fine without a blanket. I just run it about 20 higher than the temp i wanted in the grill and let it run.

The biggest issue I has was opening the lid. So I put the LavaLock on the lid and now I don't open the lid unless I'm adding meat or taking meat off. I'm not a "spritzer".

Just be careful some of the felt blanket disintegrate when they get wet.

thanks I will keep eye on that. I’m wondering what type of pellets you use I have bought 10 bags of Traeger pellets. Is there something better at a lower price I have been looking on forum but don’t seem to be a lot of info unless I missed it somewhere

but don’t seem to be a lot of info unless I missed it somewhere

You missed it... we have info on other pellets all over this site, and right now at Lowes PitBoss pellets are only $9.99 delievered to your door for free...

Pellets - Pellet Dust Test ► Results Are In

I'll just get right to it ► Test was for DUST amount in each 20lb bag which in my opinion also means pellet strength against crumble, and also means less worries of DUST clogs in Hopper... probably also means less affected by humidity too. Using my OKJoe sifter bucket and 1/3 of a bag at a time...

Help! - Chirping Noise

Hey everyone, I just put a pork butt on the traeger and it’s making a chirping noise, ever minute or so it chirps 3 times. It’s -2 here this morning so I assume it has something to do with the cold? Has anyone else experienced this or know what it might be?

I was looking at old post, thought I'd see what everyone that uses these still thinks about them. I can buy them pretty reasonable in my area.

I also needed a blanket. I bought it and it is very useful to me. It has helped me reduce the noise very well . I suggest you refer here:

sound blankets

I had a heavy wool blanket ready to purchase and then they were and still are sold out. What is your moving blanket made of? Is it Fire resistant?

Sorry its been awhile. I believe so based on a quick google search.
