A Premium Grill Cover Will Protect Your Investment
If you’re considering investing in a grill cover, be sure to choose quality over cost.
There are pros and cons to using a cover on your grill.
Pros. They keep rain, snow, wasps, birds, and other vermin out. If you have a shiny stainless steel rig, it will keep it shinier. An expensive grill under cover will attract fewer thieves.
Cons. They are a bit of a pain because you have to wait til the grill cools and they gather rain when left off. But they can also trap moisture and humidity underneath and actually encourage rust and mold growth. For these reasons I cover only my grills and smokers that can collect water on the inside like my Weber Smokey Mountain, my Hasty Bake, and my pellet smoker (if the pellets ever melt and then dry out, getting your smoker up and running is an all day sucker).
Cheapo covers last only a year or two. A good cover will last five years or more. All the plastic or vinyl ones I’ve tried cracked and fell apart in two to three years. The canvas covers rotted in a few years. The best were canvas laminated or impregnated with polyurethane or PVC.
Many makes and models available from about $17.00 to over $100.00. The model pictured is available for about $24.99.
