Insulation Blankets are a great way to help your grill reduce pellet consumption in colder climates; however, they are not meant to be used year-round.
Let an insulated blanket safeguard the metal from the elements to keep the heat in and the barbecue flowing. Preparing your grill for a winter wonderland is two-fold in that it conserves pellets, and protects from the environment.

Old man winter is on his way, so wrap up your rig and beat frigid weather at its own game. You can have hot meals, even when the sun doesn’t shine. A Traeger insulation blanket will help counterbalance pellet consumption in temperatures that reach 35°F or lower. Bundle up your rig and settle in, grilling season is a year-round sport.
You can try to position your grill in an alcove, corner of your patio, or side yard to keep the heat in, but never cook on a full-size smoker grill under an enclosed patio such as in an apartment building or garage. The smoker grill needs ventilation. Rather than spending time in the snow, rain, sleet, or arctic temps jerry-rigging a make-shift contraption to put around or over your wood-fired grill, fork out the chump-change to buy a Traeger insulation blanket, it’s worth it.

How do you keep a pellet grill warm in cold weather?
Are pellet grills insulated?
Twin-wall or double-wall insulated pellet grills are some of the best on the market. We strongly suggest that as you shop for a pellet grill, you get one with twin or double-wall insulation. Some pellet grills are not fully insulated but provide insulated lids to protect against colder temperatures.
Does a pellet grill have twin-walled insulation?
A pellet grill that is said to have twin-walled insulation means that both walls are fully insulated to provide the best protection against fluctuations in temperature. In this type of design, you will also often see that the lid is also fully insulated to provide extra protection.
Can a pellet grill overheat?
During warmer weather, pellet grills can overheat, but with an insulated grill, this is much less likely to happen. Additionally, sometimes when it is too hot outside, pellet grills can struggle to maintain temperature. When your pellet grill is properly insulated, this won’t be an issue for you.
