snagged in outlet 3 Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 I'm in the market for a new smoker. Insulated I think. I like to cook all winter and with low temps and high winds it can be a pain to keep constant temp. Any suggestions?

I cook on it probably 4 to 5 nights a week 52 weeks out of the year and we have plenty of wind and cold in kansas. it's fool proof and is an amazing cooking tool.

That's what I was leaning towards until I saw an insulated smoker.
Travis Swift Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 you can buy an insulated blanket for the Traeger but truthfully i've never had to use one. I've used them in single digits before with no issues. They have "P settings" which allows you to change what smoking temp you use based on the conditions like air temps and wind. mine sets on a covered deck but is 100% exposed to wind and cold temps and i've never had an issue at all. hope that helps some? snagged in outlet 3 1
ness Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 So, do the Traeger’s feed pellets at a constant rate that’s adjustable based on conditions, or do they feed them at a rate that maintains a temp? John
