The Waylander Fireproof Welding Blanket is built to withstand temperatures up to 1800°F, which is pretty high. According to the manufacturer's description, it's not only flame-retardant but also fireproof, making it handy for stuff like grilling, smoking, and even using with stoves.
It's made from carbon felt, which is known for being thick and soft. Plus, it's fiberglass-free, so it shouldn't irritate your skin.
Based on our research, this blanket works well for typical welding tasks. It’s been used for high-temperature things like insulating pellet grills and protecting surfaces during welding and soldering, and it generally holds up well. Some folks—like a well-experienced welder—have mentioned that it’s better than others they’ve tried.
It also seems to help retain heat, which might mean using less energy or fewer pellets for grillers.
That said, there are a few things to keep in mind. While it does a great job most of the time, some people found that it has limits with very intense heat sources like lasers or campfires. In such cases, there could be some issues.
For example, while it doesn't catch fire or fall apart, there might be some discoloration if you expose it to a brazing torch for too long.
In the end, even though this blanket is a solid heat-resistant tool, its performance can vary depending on how and where you use it. So, it's a good idea to stick to the uses recommended by the manufacturer to get the best out of it and make it last longer.
