What are the benefits of this cover, other than keeping the Weber clean? Is there any harm in leaving a Weber grill out in the open?

If you clean out the ash each time you use it there's no problem. The cover helps prevent moisture from collecting in the ash and that will rust out the bottom of your smoker.

The only benefit that I can see is to keep the Weber clean. I had a cover for my old grill and I had a problem with wasps building their nests under the grill, where they could access small open spaces under the cover.

I am not aware of a cover for this grill without the cart from Weber. I have the Weber cart and the Weber cover fits well. There might be something in the secondary market that could work.

No, it doesn't it. I think it would be fine to just leave the cover draped (not tied at the bottom) for air circulation, but I haven't owned it long enough to determine if there are any moisture issues. If you leave it outside day and night, you'll probably get a certain amount of moisture regardless.

No cover. I use mine in my charcoal grill, which is portable; carry it in that. Otherwise, scrub it and put it in a plastic garbage bag. It is a great grill.

I have had one on my grill that sits out on my deck and haven't noticed any problem the direct sun causes more problem for the cover. The first one lasted two pr three years.

We keep ours covered with the Weber cover when not in use and after 1.5 years outside in the Houston climate it still looks brand new.

The grate is easy enough to scrape off with a small tool they give you and I do use a regular grill brush. It is easy to lift out once cool and I try to clean it off shortly after each use.....haven't had a problems.

Yes, perfectly.... If smoker attachment is not mounted to grill, the area of the cover that would be used to cover the smoker ....nicely Velcro's closed so you don't even notice it.

This is a nice thick cover. Mine is only a couple of months old, but it made it through an extremely heavy downpour here in the San Francisco Bay Area, not to mention 60 mile an hour wind gusts. It did not blow off, but I should say, I have mine in its zipped shape on a Weber Spirit with the side tables down. The only way this cover could leak would be if it had a tear in it or if it eventually cracks with age. I am using it to protect my stainless grill sitting outside here in the San Francisco rainy season. So far, so good.

I bought the Weber 6553 Premium Cover for Weber Q-300 Grill. It fits perfectly with the side shelves down. I always put them down because I don't want the grill taking up space when not in use.

You don't usually cover food that's being grilled indoors. It makes it soggy. If you have messy food, like really greasy meat, a cover might help though. I've never used a cover to indoor grill.

I didn't and I haven't notice an effect on the meat or grill. I didn't see anything about it in the directions. It's held up great outside for almost a year with just basic cleaning/maintenance and a good cover.

I use it to cover my Weber....best cover I've owned...been on the grill all through this snowy winter with no leaks.

It doesn't get all over the food. So long as you start with a clean grill you shouldn't have to worry about cleaning while cooking

I would pose that question to Weber. I would think they are there to keep the heat inside the grill and to protect from possible transferring heat to a flammable object outside the grill.

Hi Jack, the grill does not come with a grill cover, but I bought the tan one that they recommended for it and it fits fine and looks nice.
