Without doing any digging, I'm pretty sure I remember a warning on my traeger insulating blanket that said do not use the blanket above 0 degrees Celsius as it may cause internal temperatures to rise high enough to damage the smoker. I believe it would void the warranty as well. This is all going off memory and may be off.
With that said I use mine during the winter consistently and it helps a ton. I don't tend to do as many long smokes with it during the winter but for chicken, fish and steaks it's a good deal. I don't notice much in the way of savings on pellets though.
