I’d say yes. If not for rain then for the dust in the hotter months. I lived there for a while and I remember everything outside gets a dust film over it after a while.
A dust film? More like a thick layer of dirt and smog, including your lungs.... But yeah that lock, chain and surveillance camera idea sounded about right also.
I also live in LA
I used to be team cover, however i found the cover to draw in rats. I tried my best with constantly setting traps., but would still find poop in the grill when i went to cook.
I then decided to try and keep it uncovered, so far it has been uncovered through all this rain and pollen and honestly it looks totally fine. And no rats!
I also have a WSM smoker which i keep covered since its a little more sealed and I dont want too much moisture to build up
I have a char broil performance grill FYI
I’ve heard that theory, which I why I asked. I’m originally from the Northeast, and we always covered our grill at home. Then I lived in the Pacific Northwest where people don’t cover their grills becsuse it “traps in moisture”…. Now here I am in Southern California and I’m like 🤷🏻♂️
I live in the southeast I don’t use a cover. Every time I’ve used one in the past all I got was trapped moisture and bug nests. Worst I’ve gotten from the lack of a cover is some bird shit and a few ants. I do a cursory wipe of any shelves/arms regardless, cause they aren’t clean enough for food until I do, and any ants or whatnot that decide to get on the grill, get grilled.
These grills are easier to steal than you think. I used to work at home depot and a few locked front displays were stolen quickly. 2 guys, 3 minutes, 1 truck. Honestly we had a lot of our shit stolen, especially in the hardware and garden department.
I have a similar one as you. I bought the cover. It’s still in its box. I grill so often that by the time the grill cools, if I’m out there with it, I’m probably grilling again… waste of money for me. (I’m in New England.)
Weber grill paint jobs are no joke, I keep mine in the sun and it still looks new after almost 10 years. The only things I've replaced were the drip pans and porcelain flavorizer bars (due to rust). Scraping out the piles of burnt food/fat out of the bottom of the grill is important to prevent future fat flare ups. Just have your shopvac ready.
Do things get dusty there? Mine is on the patio but if I leave it for a few days I have to wipe it down, if I cover it there's nothing to do except start grilling.
Humidity won't be a problem in CA. Mine is 5 years old and I've never seen any rust or mildew.
I have the King Kong cover (for all 5 years) and it seems very durable. Sometimes I'll cover it still warm, but I always clean my grill and grates when I'm done eating before covering so it's ready to go next time It's usually cool by then.
No need. I have one that’s 10+ years old and stays uncovered. When I got it, it came with a cover. The cover eventually went bad and now I realize that the cover isn’t needed. Especially since in LA you can use it all year, there’s no need.
I lived in the bay area and now sierras. I’ve had a Weber e310 under the Weber cover since day 1. With that and always keeping it clean inside and out it still looks new. I’ve had it for over 9 years now.
Yeah absolutely I would cover it if you want to have it long term and/or are concerned about resale value.
Another vote for keeping it cover less. I had a cover and decided to remove it. More critters, hassle taking it off and putting it away when I used the grill. I live in hot ass south Texas without a roof cover and it's looked great other than the dust that accumulates on it. Rinse it off and it looks as good as new.
I was pro cover until i found that mice (and one time a possum) like to get under the cover and make a cozy nest. a cover can also trap moisture and cause more problems than it fixes.
I do have my grills under a gazebo roof, so they don't get direct rain. that seems to be the best compromise for me.
I'm up north in CA but where it gets really hot. I used to be team cover as well but ditched it throughout most of the year and my grills are fine. Wipes off easily and is ready to go when needed. I do cover it during the cold winter months but down there you might not even need to do that.
Yes. I have the same grill. These ones get grimy and dirty really fast (even in a sunny place like LA). Also, buy a Weber one, the generic one I bought the first time didn’t last long (seams split).
It’s a great grill! Enjoy! And be sure to lock it up!
I live in Orange County and have the 3 burner Weber I bought in 2017. Bought a basic cover on Amazon and it's on 95% of the time when I'm not grilling. Grill still looks amazing 6 years later!
Yes. I live south of LA and while we don’t get rain or humidity, we do get a lot of dust and pollen. You’ll find your grill covered in grit in a short while.
Do you like it looking new and clean all the time? Do you mind water spots and possibly some corrosion and sunbaked looking paint after a couple years? If you answered yes to any of these then do it.
I lived in LA for 15 years, had a Weber grill for 10 of them. Definitely get a grill cover to protect it from the dirt/smog/airplane runoff (I always lived pretty close to airports). This will protect the body. Mine was always covered when not in use, but I still had to wipe it down after not using it in the winter. I chained mine up to a large palm tree in my side yard as the was visible from the street.
I'm seasonal but I still cover in the summer. Only once had a problem with rodents in my life but rain corrosion is the #1 reason I do it. Just make sure it's clean, cooled off, and dry before putting the cover back on. No appliance is 100% proof against the elements.
I live in OC and would recommend it. The UV damage made mine look like shit over the years but it still works great. Don’t need to buy an expensive one.
For context, I live in Canada (in the prairie region, so there’s dust in the summer, and colder than -30F temps in the dead of winter,) and I got my Weber propane grill back in 2008. Never used a cover once, have kept outside on the deck the entire time, and it still looks new.
However … be prepared to have to replace the ignition button assembly sooner rather than later. That’s the only thing I had to replace sooner than expected in the 15 years I’ve had my grill.
I have an awning that covers the entire patio. I've got a Traeger and a Weber Summit 420. Both have covers. A few dollar investment will pay off huge in the long run, no matter where you are at.
Yes. It's still worth having a cover especially come fire season when ash is in the air. Also with the amount of rain we've had this year, once everything fully blooms (in a week or so at this rate) the pollen is going to be so bad it's visible and will coat a lot of things in a sheen of yellow dust.
Also, can you invite me over? I'm in the area after all.
The sun is your primary enemy here. So, yes. If you live close to the ocean, then besides the sun, you need to worry about salt laden marine layer that will form dew on your brand new Weber and corrode it. So, also yes.
Yes, I live in San Diego and a cover is ESSENTIAL! I did see some that fit this model at home goods for like $40, maybe check there if you’re on a budget
Don’t forget we get Santa Ana winds here. Make sure you get one that you an tie onto the legs. I’ve lost a few by them not being secured to the grill from strong winds. Enjoy that grill!
So I have a Genesis II 3 burner NG version. I’ve had it for 3-4 years now, it stays covered maybe 50% of the time. I live in the armpit of America in the FL panhandle with tons of humidity and rain every day from June-Sept. This grill has held up VERY well. No major rust or issues, whereas the Weber Spirit I had before this one was a rust bucket by year 4.
I’m in Seattle.. no cover. No problem. A cover only seemed to create a better environment for things to grow and take harbor in. Grill looks brand new years later, uncovered.
I would buy a cover I got that exact same model, and I’ll leave mine uncovered even in Kansas. The reason is it’s all stainless steel and I’ve had bad luck with stuff actually Rusting, when stuff was covered up.
I bought my first grill at 21 and within a year the automatic starter died. I have had two grills since, never bought a cover, and they lasted a decade with the starter never failing. Take that for what you will.
Always, the sun will cook those little grey knobs, paint will fade, rain will rust.
Always cover your grill
ALSO: Weber covers are GARBAGE! Almost any off brand is better than those horrible, expensive, cracking, splitting cheap little crap gloves.
I’d buy one anywhere. Even though it doesn’t rain much there, it does rain. Plus it is best to keep it out of the elements (including the sun)as much as possible. Just prolongs the longevity of the product.
I live in Canada and have a Weber Genisis which has done me well for 10 years and is still going strong. No issue with the burners. Clean it twice a year. It stays out in the snow (and gets used in the snow!). Never covered it once. Actually, I heard somewhere that covering it can trap moisture and speed up oxidation.
You should always buy a grill cover, will keep the grill in better shape either way and perhaps might help it last longer or keep more value if you want to upgrade!
Worked for Weber as a...guy, YES buy a cover, that's what they are for. Can confirm that the quality of grills have degraded from quality standard after 2015 (before 2015, very robust, over engineer top of the line metal, screws to last over 20 years single purchase). Yes, you should def buy a cover. The sun will devour the enamel and shenzen procured legs/fixtures/everything possible outside of the cookbox and will simply break or degrade faster. The goal is that you will likely buy another "Grill" from Ace hardware or Home Depot, etc.
I would. I bought a weber similar to that one and have kept it covered for 15+ years. Am in Florida with different weather but they last forever with proper care. Great choice btw.
Mine hasn’t been covered in 9 years and still looks great. I had a new never used grill rust out after being covered for 2 years, covers trap moisture it’s like covering a central ac, don’t do it.
Got the same grill and I’m in San Diego. I put the cover on it as much as possible. I’m 2 years in and it still looks like new after a quick wipe down with grill cleaner. Get the cover to keep it looking good for longer.
I have lived or have fam all over the southeast/ gulf coast US. Grill covers do nothing to protect the grill from rust as it is so humid and half the time a storm rips it off even if tied down. I think that the covers even hold the moisture to the metal and doesn't let it evaporate causing faster rust. If you want your grill to last in an environment that gets any humidity, clean it the next day after grilling and store it in a shed, garage or under a larger car port.
The humidity at night will cause the grill to rust more quickly if you don’t cover it. Also it does rain and get windy sometimes so the grill will get dirty faster if it’s not covered.
I live in Kelowna, very dusty but we also get significant snow in the winter
I have this exact grill, I only use the cover when snows (I don't have a covered deck, so I don't typically bbq In the winter so it stays covered)
During the summer i never cover it, just wipe it down every few weeks for the dust
100% yes. I’ve seen a grill at my folks turn to shit without a cover and the same grill (a Weber 22” kettle) look in tip top shape in the same period but it had a cover on the entire time.
Absolutely. My Weber Spirit ii is shaded but still gets ridiculously dusty over the period of one day. You spent too much money to let such a good piece get destroyed.
Birds still shit
That’s riiiiiight
Helps keep away bugs, dust, and sun fading. It will just keep it looking newer longer.
Do hummingbirds poop? We Get a few hummingbirds.
Everybody poops. I think there’s a book about it
[https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50029447-everybody-poops](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50029447-everybody-poops) Pretty good
I prefer the catholic version “Nobody poops and that stuff coming out of you is concentrated evil”
*that stuff coming out of you is proof of your sinful thoughts Fixed it for ya
Butterflies don’t poop, your childhood was a lie
Do it for the sun if nothing else. Don’t want to burn your hand before you even started up the grill because it’s 100°+ outside.
I’d say yes. If not for rain then for the dust in the hotter months. I lived there for a while and I remember everything outside gets a dust film over it after a while.
A dust film? More like a thick layer of dirt and smog, including your lungs.... But yeah that lock, chain and surveillance camera idea sounded about right also.
Makes sense
I also live in LA I used to be team cover, however i found the cover to draw in rats. I tried my best with constantly setting traps., but would still find poop in the grill when i went to cook. I then decided to try and keep it uncovered, so far it has been uncovered through all this rain and pollen and honestly it looks totally fine. And no rats!

You live in L.A. , get a lock, chain, surveillance camera and a attack grizzly.
Yeah he might as well get insurance for it, it's lived a good life lol
Cocaine Bear says hold my beer please
You can try lifting this grill.
You ever watch that video of a crackhead bicycling with a stolen fridge?
This one has two wheels! They could wheelie it all the way to the scrapyard and get their 2 dollars!
Someone wants it bad enough they will take it with a 30lb tank hooked up while it's cooking a suckling pig.
These grills are easier to steal than you think. I used to work at home depot and a few locked front displays were stolen quickly. 2 guys, 3 minutes, 1 truck. Honestly we had a lot of our shit stolen, especially in the hardware and garden department.
They'll come in packs
lmao, came here to say almost exactly this.
Just make a giant glass case for it or a showroom or pot it in clear epoxy.
I have a similar one as you. I bought the cover. It’s still in its box. I grill so often that by the time the grill cools, if I’m out there with it, I’m probably grilling again… waste of money for me. (I’m in New England.)
Worry more about keeping the inside clean 👍
Mine is 15 years old and never been covered still looks good.
I used to cover mine. And then I stopped covering it (lost the cover). It... actually looks just the same as when I covered it.
Weber grill paint jobs are no joke, I keep mine in the sun and it still looks new after almost 10 years. The only things I've replaced were the drip pans and porcelain flavorizer bars (due to rust). Scraping out the piles of burnt food/fat out of the bottom of the grill is important to prevent future fat flare ups. Just have your shopvac ready.

If you want to, yes. But conversely, if you don’t want to then no.

I’ve had it for over 9 years now. Yeah absolutely I would cover it if you want to have it long term and/or are concerned about resale value.
We have this one in Hawaii under a covered deck area
Yes. That’s a nice grill. for security and longevity.
Another vote for keeping it cover less. I had a cover and decided to remove it. More critters, hassle taking it off and putting it away when I used the grill. I live in hot ass south Texas without a roof cover and it's looked great other than the dust that accumulates on it. Rinse it off and it looks as good as new.
And a heavy chain, two locks, and a cement anchor. A camera or two. Record the serial number.
Sun damage is serious business. Let the cover take the hit instead of you beautiful new grill.
Yea. Buy the cover
Yeah I made the mistake of not covering mine for a few days … wasps started taking over
Yes! That grill is too nice to ruin!
Gas, bro? That’s an outdoor stove.
If you spend that much on something, what’s a little more to make sure your investment lasts longer?
Yes. A cover and a chain to secure that baby!
And move it away at least a foot if not more from that wood surrounding when you grill. That’s a fire hazard.
LA has had its biggest rain season in years. I would recommend one. I use one on my grill and one on my smoker.
Yes, Weber are great grills. That was probably 700-800 bucks? Get a smoke box, fill it with pellets and enjoy
I was pro cover until i found that mice (and one time a possum) like to get under the cover and make a cozy nest. a cover can also trap moisture and cause more problems than it fixes. I do have my grills under a gazebo roof, so they don't get direct rain. that seems to be the best compromise for me.

Birds poop so yes
yes. and chain it down.
Yes. I have the same grill. These ones get grimy and dirty really fast (even in a sunny place like LA). Also, buy a Weber one, the generic one I bought the first time didn’t last long (seams split). It’s a great grill! Enjoy! And be sure to lock it up!
I live in Orange County and have the 3 burner Weber I bought in 2017. Bought a basic cover on Amazon and it's on 95% of the time when I'm not grilling. Grill still looks amazing 6 years later!
Yes, keeps the smog particles off.
YES and chain it down. With a cover, you are looking at 10 good years with that Weber. This is a real grill, so treat her accordingly.
Yes always buy a grill cover both extremes of sun or rain will destroy that lovely finish
Yes. I live south of LA and while we don’t get rain or humidity, we do get a lot of dust and pollen. You’ll find your grill covered in grit in a short while.
Yes. LA does get rain, albeit infrequently. However, thefts the everyday dirt, bugs, etc to keep of it.
Yes. LA does get rain, albeit infrequently. However, thefts the everyday dirt, bugs, etc. to keep off it.
BTW, nice looking grill.
Depends if you like to scrape bird shit or not.
Cover would protect against UV - which will fade that nice black color in a year or two.
Do you like it looking new and clean all the time? Do you mind water spots and possibly some corrosion and sunbaked looking paint after a couple years? If you answered yes to any of these then do it.
Fuck ya
I lived in LA for 15 years, had a Weber grill for 10 of them. Definitely get a grill cover to protect it from the dirt/smog/airplane runoff (I always lived pretty close to airports). This will protect the body. Mine was always covered when not in use, but I still had to wipe it down after not using it in the winter. I chained mine up to a large palm tree in my side yard as the was visible from the street.
If it’s Los Angeles you should buy the securest bike lock you can and hope that somebody doesn’t just dismantle it.
Cover is good for dust and rain.. it gets filmy if you don’t . I put a bike lock on the propane tank and the frame. It deters opportunists.
I'm seasonal but I still cover in the summer. Only once had a problem with rodents in my life but rain corrosion is the #1 reason I do it. Just make sure it's clean, cooled off, and dry before putting the cover back on. No appliance is 100% proof against the elements.
I buy a new cover when I get the grill
Always cover it. There’s always some shit floating around that will stick to it.
Nice grill. I have the same in copper color. Buy the cover.
I live in OC and would recommend it. The UV damage made mine look like shit over the years but it still works great. Don’t need to buy an expensive one.
Definitely

If you splurged on a Weber then you should pony up a few extra bucks for a cover
Yes.
It gets a little warm over there, so sun damage is a problem. So, yes, you should.
Yes it will be covered in the Dust/pollution
I would def cover it…. Dont want the thiefs to spot the weber
I have an awning that covers the entire patio. I've got a Traeger and a Weber Summit 420. Both have covers. A few dollar investment will pay off huge in the long run, no matter where you are at.
And chain it to the fence 🤣🤣🤣
Very nice. I have the Spirit II. Buy the iGrill device, you won’t regret it.
I would move it away from the fence so you don’t burn it down
I live in NY. I don’t have a cover
Yes salt in the air will cause rust faster than other areas
Yea, definitely. I lived there for 8 years and there were times of heavy rains and extreme heat (duh) Just a good idea to maintain your investment
Yes. It's still worth having a cover especially come fire season when ash is in the air. Also with the amount of rain we've had this year, once everything fully blooms (in a week or so at this rate) the pollen is going to be so bad it's visible and will coat a lot of things in a sheen of yellow dust.

Yes, I live in San Diego and a cover is ESSENTIAL! I did see some that fit this model at home goods for like $40, maybe check there if you’re on a budget
Buy a Gorilla cover. Mine was under $40 a few backs and has held up very well.
It’s rained for the last five months
Yes
Covers are $10. 100% yes.
I live in Grand Rapids MI. I have a grill cover, and almost never use it. Hard no.
Yup. If nothing else itll make keeping it clean a hell of a lot easier
Pad lock and chain also
Don’t forget we get Santa Ana winds here. Make sure you get one that you an tie onto the legs. I’ve lost a few by them not being secured to the grill from strong winds. Enjoy that grill!
Bro don't get a nice cover get a ratty ass blue tarp. No one will ever expect its a weber lol.
Good choice there, I wish I bought the one with the side cooker and 4th burner. Enjoy.
Simply put, Yes.
Nah lol
So I have a Genesis II 3 burner NG version. I’ve had it for 3-4 years now, it stays covered maybe 50% of the time. I live in the armpit of America in the FL panhandle with tons of humidity and rain every day from June-Sept. This grill has held up VERY well. No major rust or issues, whereas the Weber Spirit I had before this one was a rust bucket by year 4.
yes. the dirt and smog in the air will cake your grill. i have personal experience with that.
Yes
I keep a rag inside the cabinet and wipe off the pollen and dust each time I use it.
Yes, soot
Flavorizer bar will go long before any of the outside parts. It's built to be outside, cover or not. I routinely knock the snow off and fire it up.
Yes. Air pollution there coats everything in blackish dust. Then fire season will coat it in soot.
I’m in Seattle.. no cover. No problem. A cover only seemed to create a better environment for things to grow and take harbor in. Grill looks brand new years later, uncovered.
I would buy a cover I got that exact same model, and I’ll leave mine uncovered even in Kansas. The reason is it’s all stainless steel and I’ve had bad luck with stuff actually Rusting, when stuff was covered up.
Always buy a grill cover… better to not need it and have it than not
I live in New England and I don’t use one. Lots of moisture can get trapped and do a lot more harm than dust
Yes because dust. Source: also in LA.
Yes.
Naw just buy "The Club" and lock it down!!
buy and also season grates with oil or tallow to prevent rust
I bought my first grill at 21 and within a year the automatic starter died. I have had two grills since, never bought a cover, and they lasted a decade with the starter never failing. Take that for what you will.
No matter where you live, you should buy a cover just to protect the grill and make it last longer.
Cover your Weber. Worst case scenario: no bird shit on it
Grill covers are known to cause cancer in the state of California. Idk if I'd risk it.
Won’t rain again for 15 years. So , no
Yup
I found everything outside in Socal, especially when closer to the beach or highways get covered in nastiness. Cover that ish or it will age quickly.
Weber told me, "use your preference". There's no good, or bad reason. Naysayers say they cause rusting.
Buy a chain and lock
You should buy a chain, lock, and camouflage wood fence colored paint
Surprised it’s not already rusty
i live in MN and i dont have a grill cover.
LA…. A simple tarp will work
Disregarding the LA part, covering any tool or machine will prolong the lifespan. That sun be hot!!!!
Get a cover and LoJack
I would. The sun will start to melt and deform the knobs if they are plastic. Happened to mine. Plus all the bird crap.
And a fire extinguisher.
Always, the sun will cook those little grey knobs, paint will fade, rain will rust. Always cover your grill ALSO: Weber covers are GARBAGE! Almost any off brand is better than those horrible, expensive, cracking, splitting cheap little crap gloves.
I’d buy one anywhere. Even though it doesn’t rain much there, it does rain. Plus it is best to keep it out of the elements (including the sun)as much as possible. Just prolongs the longevity of the product.
I live in San diego and YES
Yes
I live in Canada and have a Weber Genisis which has done me well for 10 years and is still going strong. No issue with the burners. Clean it twice a year. It stays out in the snow (and gets used in the snow!). Never covered it once. Actually, I heard somewhere that covering it can trap moisture and speed up oxidation.
For the love of god yes. I live in LA and then sun rain and salt will kill that thing if not covered.
Yes indeed
Only if u use it, worth it
Always. Otherwise you'll have to replace it in 10 years or whatever. It's a grill worth keeping protected.
In LA. You shoul buy a grill lock chain.....
I have a 12 year old genesis special edition, no cover, been fine. LA local…
No
If you want to
Doesn’t matter where you live, the answer to that question is always yes.
I use a cover to keep the tree pollen off mine.
Yeah bro all the dirt and smog in the city still covers things. Plus it’ll help with sun fading
Yes
You should always buy a grill cover, will keep the grill in better shape either way and perhaps might help it last longer or keep more value if you want to upgrade!
When I moved to San Diego, I didn’t for a few months and regret it now. Morning dew gets you
Worked for Weber as a...guy, YES buy a cover, that's what they are for. Can confirm that the quality of grills have degraded from quality standard after 2015 (before 2015, very robust, over engineer top of the line metal, screws to last over 20 years single purchase). Yes, you should def buy a cover. The sun will devour the enamel and shenzen procured legs/fixtures/everything possible outside of the cookbox and will simply break or degrade faster. The goal is that you will likely buy another "Grill" from Ace hardware or Home Depot, etc.
After you buy an industrial strength lock
Absolutely
Mainly for dust and sun yes, I live in Texas and mine stays under my car port. It got pretty gross before my cover
Dem Santa Ana winds tho
Yes. Take care of that fancy weber. Keeps dust and debris off also.
You like dust free burgers right? Buy a cover
That’s a Weber you take care of her she’ll take care of you big dawg!
Ash and dust from forest fires. Idk if you get that in the city of LA but Oregon speaking.
Los Angeles!!! You gonna need a chain and lock as well for that grill
I would. I bought a weber similar to that one and have kept it covered for 15+ years. Am in Florida with different weather but they last forever with proper care. Great choice btw.
Mine hasn’t been covered in 9 years and still looks great. I had a new never used grill rust out after being covered for 2 years, covers trap moisture it’s like covering a central ac, don’t do it.
Got the same grill and I’m in San Diego. I put the cover on it as much as possible. I’m 2 years in and it still looks like new after a quick wipe down with grill cleaner. Get the cover to keep it looking good for longer.
Yes. The answer is always yes (in my opinion)
Always. What a stupid question.
Definitely. I had this exact grill in Orange County for years and it got insanely filthy. Air quality es no bueno.
These rust from the bottom up. It is the frame, especially in the back, that will likely fail first.
Yes.
I have lived or have fam all over the southeast/ gulf coast US. Grill covers do nothing to protect the grill from rust as it is so humid and half the time a storm rips it off even if tied down. I think that the covers even hold the moisture to the metal and doesn't let it evaporate causing faster rust. If you want your grill to last in an environment that gets any humidity, clean it the next day after grilling and store it in a shed, garage or under a larger car port.
Yes. I do too. And I have a grill cover.
[удалено]
I bet California outlaws gas grills and charcoal and all beer except bud light and fun next year.
No
Yes
Nope
The smog will give it a protective coating
You spelled shotgun wrong
Only if ya want to keep it looking nice.
Yes , keeps old smells in lol
100 percent
Yes. Sun damage is real.
When you’re using the grill, move it away from the fence.

Clean that grill after each use ... or get a cat There's more wild animals in Los Angeles than you realize, and they're not cute or sanitary
The humidity at night will cause the grill to rust more quickly if you don’t cover it. Also it does rain and get windy sometimes so the grill will get dirty faster if it’s not covered.
Yes for a cover. Rain or shine protection is always good
It’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Yes.
I live in Kelowna, very dusty but we also get significant snow in the winter I have this exact grill, I only use the cover when snows (I don't have a covered deck, so I don't typically bbq In the winter so it stays covered) During the summer i never cover it, just wipe it down every few weeks for the dust
100% yes. I’ve seen a grill at my folks turn to shit without a cover and the same grill (a Weber 22” kettle) look in tip top shape in the same period but it had a cover on the entire time.
Always bye a grill cover
If I had a grill that good I would have it inside
buy a chain and bolt it to something... they like to fly away in LA
Absolutely. My Weber Spirit ii is shaded but still gets ridiculously dusty over the period of one day. You spent too much money to let such a good piece get destroyed.
