    What do you mean?

  • They sell generic grill covers at any hardware, home improvement center or discount store like Wal-Mart, Target, etc. Or you can just purchase a plastic tarp and hold it together with bungee cords.

    Hi Peggy,

    Is this an outdoor grill?

    You can buy a grill cover from many stores or Amazon, usually they are enclosed when you buy a grill.

    We just have a black grill cover. Ours came with it. Could you look up your brand and order one? Amazno usually has generic cheaper versions too!

    Peggy,

    Some of them have covers included. Or you can make your own - here's a step-by-step guide.

    Here's the topic where gents are discussing custom made ones.


    But honestly, I have one of the Weber spirit series grills (like the one on the list) and bought a extra special brand-made cover as it wasn't included in the package.

    For a long time I was perplexed with why it had so many mesh slits in it, which would obviously allow water to come into the cover. I then researched and found that rain is really not the purpose of the cover, but more so to protect from falling debri and the sun.


    At any rate, I am super lazy and usually leave the cover off and the grill has been fine for 5 years. So I don't believe it's really that necessary, but for each is own. Just my two cents.

    You can get it from any online stores, make sure to get a large one and it should cover the grill all the way to the ground. Go for a cover with vents because it helps to prevent molds.

    I covered our grill with a plastic cotton backed tablecloth...kept in place with snap clothes pins. A purchased cover would be better but the tablecloth did work temporarily.

    1) Use a grill cover. They're typically made of heavy-duty fabric and can be found at most hardware stores.


    2) Use an old sheet or blanket. Just make sure it's clean and free of holes.


    3) Use tinfoil, but only if you're not planning on using the grill for at least six hours. This will cause the grill to rust quickly, so make sure you remove it before starting up again!
