Just wondering how the insulation works compared to running nude? :lol:

Is there much difference.

I use some old "builders blanket" (sarking foil with insulation inside) wrapped around my keg boiler and with a 2200 watt electric and from memory reduces heat up time by 30-45 mins compared to un insulated. Definitely helps.
