I ordered my blanket after smoking a pork shoulder on a January day in Iowa with temperatures in the single digits. Needless to say, pellet consumption was impressive in these conditions without a blanket. Pellet consumption went way down after I installed the blanket. I now use it in the fall, winter and spring. As others have said, the quality is typical of Yoder - well designed, easy to use and high quality materials. Well worth the money.

Very well made, easy to put on and looks a heck of a lot better than some cheap welding blanket. Yes, it's a bit expensive but it looks great and works well, paying for itself over the long term and saving you money on pellets. Highly recommend!

We live in Boulder Co and smoking in the winter eats more pellets than I eat candy bars. Christmas dinner of Turduckin, Tenderloin, and Prime rib was going thru pellets at an amazing rate. I tried old beach towels and blankets as insulation which helped but slowly roasted them. Monday morning I ordered the Thermal Jacket. It was the second best investment I made, the first was my Yoder YS-640. It cut the pellet burn in half. I put it on and have never taken it off. I would advise everyone that this is a must have item.

Update. Another use for the Jacket. I have my controller programmed to increase the pit temp as the meat temp rises through the smoking stage. Then once at 170 ish wrap in paper and finish the cook. Which is really baking to temp. at 225 a Brisket or a Butt can take some time. Time is pellets. Pellets are cash. Fourth of July weekend was Brisket time. Smoke, wrap and back in the pit, but this time I reinstalled the door and back sections of the jacket. Temp was true and steady and pellet consumption was reduced again.
