Anyone know of a good thermal wrap for a 6 rack? I'm trying not to ask the wife to make something for it. ???
How about using/modifying one of those Hot Water Heater 'Blanket'.
I found a blue fluffy thing on the bed last weekend and wrapped up my bs6r with it.(comforter if what I think the wife was screaming)
I've seen a couple of members using a welding blanket from Harbor Freight. Check the specs to see if will do a complete wrap..
That's where I got my welding blanket... I think it is 4' x 6' - or something like that.
Emergency thermal blankets work well. They are lightweight, thin, easy to shape and cut if needed.
Here is a nice one that is reasonable in price:

Didn't someone here have a wrap that looked like mylar or something? Like a relatively thin shiny surfaced insulated mat that was fitted around the smoker?
Do the welder blankets insulate well or do they just not burn? I'm a neat freak by nature and was looking for something that I could make or wrap around the entire box with a cutout for the door. The only one I found online fits the smaller box.

Sounds like you are talking about an emergency thermal blanket. Do a search and check them out. When you do wrap the smoker don't forget that the vents in the generator need to be clear, as well as the smoke vent.

I use southeast Texas
au natural.
The Emergency blanket looks more like what I was lookin for. If I could find something with a bit of insulating material between the mylar layers I'd be good to go, otherwise this will do for a few times this year.
I still have a choice for retirement, Texas or somewhere up north like Wisconsin. I'd love the year round temps of Texas but I'm one of those folks that believes in global warming :)
The problem in our part of the country (Southeast Texas) is that during the summer months (read, April thru October) we're searching out ways to cool the smoker!

I have seen a welder blanket used on the treager (squirtthecat) if i remember correctly.
i am considering this for the Stump's if necessary. It is a great idea.
It
ain't necessary.

Yep, and the Bradley too! The best way I found to cool a Bradley in summer is to put more meat in it. Best way to cool
the smoker is to drink another beer and seek shade. ;)
