Do I Need a Barbecue Cover? 

Barbecue covers help keep your grills and smokers in great condition. When not in use, dirt, debris and inclement weather can affect how your grill looks and even hinder how it performs over time. Harsh weather like rain and snow could damage the finish of your grill and make vital cooking parts rusty.

How Often Should You Use Your Grill Cover? 

Your grill and smoker are important investments and keeping them in great shape for years to come starts with having the right outdoor grill or smoker cover. But knowing how often you should cover them largely depends on the type of climate you live in. 

• Hot & Humid Environments: Using a grill or smoker cover too often could trap excess humidity, leading to corrosion. Purchase a barbecue cover with built-in air vents to release excess humidity, and help your grill or smoker breathe from time-to-time. 
• Coastal Climates: Salty air and harsh weather can wreak havoc on your grill. Use heavy-duty grill covers to shield your grill or smoker from the elements, especially if you're expecting heavy snow or excessive rain fall. 
• Dry Environments: If you live in an environment that's consistently dry, you're safe to leave your grill uncovered for most of the year. But it is a good idea to occasionally use an outdoor grill cover to protect it against dust and debris for optimal performance. 

What to Look for in an Outdoor Grill Cover 

Whether you cook on a gas grill or a smoker, outdoor grill covers offer year-round protection against the elements. Use the following tips to help you find the right smoker, charcoal or gas grill covers for your needs:

• Measure your grill to ensure you find a cover with the proper dimensions so it fits correctly
• Look for special design features like waterproofing and UV resistance
• Use insulation blankets for smokers to make low-and-slow smoking easy, even when it's cold outside

What Materials are BBQ Grill Covers Made From? 

The best grill covers are made from heavy-duty, weather resistant material like polyester.  They often feature a thick, waterproof membrane with PVC lining, and can also come with UV protection to ward off fading. 

Some barbecue covers have straps and drawstrings that prevent wind and rain from ripping them off, while others have easy grip handles that effortlessly slide on and off for added convenience.
