Your Traeger doesn't need to hibernate all winter. When the weather dips below freezing, throw on a Thermal Insulation Blanket and get your smoke on. It’s heat resistant and acts as a buffer between the elements and your grill, which reduces the amount of fuel needed to compensate for freezing outdoor temperatures.

Safety & Usage
Insulation Blankets are optional. They are a great way to help a grill reduce pellet consumption in colder climates; however, they are not meant to be used year-round.
Grill & Outside Temperature Safety
If and when they are used, we recommend only using an Insulation Blanket under the following conditions:
- The outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C)
- Use only when the grill's temperature is 350°F (176°C) or lower.
Using an insulation blanket in temperatures above freezing or when setting your grill above 350°F (176°C) could cause damage to the grill and the blanket, and in some cases, fire.
Use with Folding Front Shelves
We do not recommend using insulation blankets on grills when a folding front shelf is installed as the shelf may interfere with the fit of the blanket.
Maintenance & Care
- Do not machine wash
- Wipe down the cover with with warm, soapy water or a mild detergent.
- Do not use harsh chemicals like bleach.
Grill Compatibility
The Traeger Insulation Blanket is custom-designed to fit only specific grills. Since some higher-end grill models are engineered with more insulating technology, those grills do not require extra help to maintain their internal temperature.
