Built a rf this summer, 500 gal., my questions to you guys:

anyone know of any type of blanket or wrap to help with heat loss? Just looking to take edge off tank during smoke, it was
-3 this morning firing the beast up. One learns a ton smoking in the cold...

Some folks use welding blankets, I've heard. I haven't had that sort of problem myself, Florida and all.

RC is right on.
By the way RC, you don't need to rub it in, it's a balmy 18 here now.

Moving blankets also work.

You boys don't know what cold is. The HIGH on Monday is going to be -19 here in the great white north.

That's like the old days in Vermont. -20 was normal. In January of 1976, we beat out International Falls, MN and Gunnison, CO with a -54 . Now that I am near 60, I just can even think how that will feel I was 22 then
