I have left it outside in the summer with a plastic cover over it, but it folds up nicely and I hang it in my garage for the winter, I suppose it could be left outside during the winter if you covered it with a plastic grill cover.

I would not leave this outside for prolonged periods, particularly in winter weather. While it is well designed and materials seem to be quality there are many parts that would most likely rust and degrade from extreme exposure.

I live in California. I wouldn't leave it outside the base is plastic so it may not rust. I use this for camping. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't leave it outside over the winter especially with the winter we had last year. Extreme temps cause things to wear out faster and can affect how they work. I'd store it in a garage or shed so it's not exposed to the elements. Coleman recommends keeping it covered when not in use as rain can also cause the parts to deteriorate and rust.

We left ours up outside for a month or so outside and it did not rust or get damaged. It seems pretty sturdy as long as you keep it staked into the ground..If you get alot of wind you may want to bring it in also.

This is electric, it is not meant to be used in rain. But it is a nice grill. I also found if it is very windy it a longer time to cook I presume because the wind cools it down.

I bought the grill and the stand and leave them assembled outside all year around. I also bought a cover made for a smoker (i.e., circular and full length with elastic on the bottom), which ensures they are completely covered when not in use. No problems so far. But make sure to buy a cover of some sort.

I won't recommend leaving this outdoor because one this thing is very light and blow away by the wind and second the inside part made out of cast iron over the time it will rust due to oxidation. And if you do plan to leave outdoor cover it with something nylon. Prevents from rain and dust.

Yes it can be left outside. I actually bought a cover for it to protect it more from the elements and I also stained it

Yes this table can be left outside. It's been out on our deck off and on this spring; in rain & pollen and wipes off so easily

I think this is a question for the company because Im not really sure. I havent used the grill yet still winter in Maine but it seems very sturdy for the price, sorry i couldnt answer your question, i could email you pictures sometime if you want

I think it could be kept outside if it is covered. It is made of durable wood so I think it would sustain the heat but I don't think I would leave it out in the rain.

You can bbq wherever you want. I put it in a wheeled plastic tote bin with everything else then take it out and bbq right on top of the plastic bin. It cools off quick and you can it throw back in tote and put it back in your vehicle. I bbq'd right on the carpet in my pontoon boat just to prove it.

I places a pipe into the ground that the post slides down into. This allows me to pivot the post and then easily remove the post in the winter. We cook at the campfire near our cabin almost every evening throughout the summer using this grill and it works great.

Not sure what you mean by stored. Mine sits outside on a table, but I have a balcony overhead. It does get wet when it rains. It will stay outside until October and then I'll put it in my storage facility. I wouldn't leave it uncovered outside over the winter. There is one drawback of leaving it outside now - there are lots of spider webs and leaves. I need to whip down the grill, outside and inside, before I use it.

It holds up to heat well. But do not leave it outside in the rain as is is not waterproof. I bring mine inside after every grill session and it works wonderfully every time.

I did not do the outside and it has been fine. But even if it rusted a little I would not worry about it it is on the outside. But I have had no problems with that. If I did I would rub a little oil on it while it was hot. I cook on a electric stove so I wouldn't do the bottom where the heat source hits but I would add a little oil on the upper outside.

You can leave it outside, but I do turn mine over to avoid freezing which does not allow it to work during that part of the year.

I have mine outdoors in a barbecue island. Only front is open to weather. It works fine after several years.

I do have a grill cover (the recommended Cuisinart model), but generally keep the grill in my garage. It's not so large and my guess is that over time it would age poorly if kept outdoors.
