PIT BOSS 67344 Insulated Blanket for 1100 Series Grills, Grey

This fits VERY well and really helps keep the temps inside the barrel nice and steady. At -15 to -20C I was burning about 1.5lb/hour at 180-200 degrees for smoking. I wasn't sure how well it would hold up to opening/closing the lid, but the magnets really do help keep it in place very wellDefinitely recommend for anyone who wants to extend their smoker season through cold Canadian winters.

I have the Pit Boss Austin XL. This fits like a glove.It was a little expensive, but there aren't a lot of other solutions. Like others I entertained the idea of getting a fiberglass fire retardant blanket like from Harbor Freight. One downside is these blanket can be super itchy if you inadvertently brush against it. I also worried about fibers falling into the food on the grill.In contrast, this official insulated blanket is coated, it's very think, and it holds to the lid with very strong magnets. In short this is night and day difference in quality and its ready made for your Pit Boss.Now I understand the aim is to reduce the pellet burn and stabilize the temperature. Because I'm always changing up what is being cooked, how long I cook/smoke, and environmentals are always a bit different from day to day, comparing burn rate between two different days is like apples and oranges. In short any "savings" is hard to quantify. It seems to me as though the smoker warms up faster with the blanket and the temperature remains more consistent with the blanket.In short and based on my observations, I would say the blanket is a great addition, especially in cooler temperatures.

Buy your smoker a blanket. Keeps the temp even in cold weather. Uses less pellets to maintain temperature.

I bought this for my husband who is an avid griller. He is a Pitboss fan all the way. We live in an area that has some bitter cold temperatures. He grills anyhow. Uneven temperatures left him feeling less than impressed with his own cooking. The Pitboss insulated blanket changed everything. On the coldest of days he throws it on the grill. It is awesome. It keeps his temperature controlled and we have a perfect meal every time. He tried it on a windy day ( a regular occurrence here) . He said it was perfect to keep controlled. Thank you Pitboss! We are a very happy household with Grillin Ronn in charge.

Fits great. Works great.
