I think what gets most people (and the negative reviews) is the vents in the cover. It does let in water, but considering these grills are bomb proof, I do not think that it hurts them if they get wet. If you go to Home Depot, these grills sit in the rain with no cover and they don't show any problems. Mostly the cover is to keep the debris off as well as keep it out of the sun over the years of ownership. The cover does "feel" like it is constructed well and the price seems justified. Based on Weber's history, I would trust their expertise and not a few negative reviews. I have had the grill and cover for a year and don't have a problem.

Not sure what grill cover would work the best. As far as the grill its okey, not as sturdy as some of them in past cut is fine, for the cost

I don't know which grill cover is the best; but, I purchased the Weber Q 300 Grill Cover for my Aussie 9329W grill and it work's fine for me.

I am about to order my third one in maybe 5 years. Mine have not held up, but they are the only thing I've found that fits the grill. My grill gets a good bit of sun, so maybe that is the issue. I don't care that it fades, but the fabric gets very brittle and tears like crazy. I will say the second one lasted longer than the first, so maybe they've improved them somewhat.

You are right; I spoke to Char-Broil Customer Service and they admitted that they don't have a cover for this grill. I ended up buying an oversized one from them but it looks stupid.

see mfg. link http://classicaccessories.com/patio-furniture-and-grill-covers/ravenna-grill-covers.html. The first review is as stated as following "We just received our Ravenna grill cover. It is pretty stout and fits our grill well. We ordered a medium and large for our Weber Genesis grill. The large fits, but is a little too baggy. The medium is just right. Without much time to be sure, the quality seems high and the cover appears to be durable. For the money, it's almost surely better than any options we found at the hardware store." I have a Weber Summit and had to order the x-large size. A little big but not to much--really makes it easier to put on. My opinion is the Ravenna grill covers from Classic Accessories is a much better cover than the one I got from weber. The weber cover did not last over a year before cracking and splitting. Hope this helps --check out the reviews at the link above --you may more info.

The Montana cover is a good product that is styled to the Weber Silver.... However, there is a problem with the "hight" of the cover.The picture on the left shows the entire wheel of the grill. The cover is far to high/long which results in the bottom "draging" on the ground, thus, when moved, the bottom of the cover gets cought under the wheel. The cover should be 4-5 inches shorter. So thecorrect answer to your question is: Not without modification!

I contacted Weber and asked which would be the correct cover for the Genesis Silver-A grill. Here is their reply:Thank you for contacting Weber. Weber did recently redesign all of our covers. The correct part number for this new cover is 7106. At this time, the only way to order this part is by calling customer service at 800-446-1071. These will not be in retail stores until October. Your Weber dealer may also have part 7569 and this will also fit your grill (this has adjustable zippers).

Here is a review by Kenny with your exact grill. He bought XL.Quality Grill Cover --good replacement for my Weber GrillBy Kenny - September 7, 2013Amazon Verified PurchaseVery satisfied with quality of cover. The Ravenna grill cover appears to be very well made. Material is heavy duty with waterproof backing plus inside seams are covered to prevent leaking. The xl size fits the Weber Summit s-470 very well. The 4 year warranty is a plus.I hope it last a lot longer than the 1 1/2 years which my original weber grill cover #7554 did.

I doubt anyone will be able to give you a definitive answer. Different sellers are selling this same cover and all of the reviews are aggregated together. Perhaps some sellers are selling a higher quality version while most sellers are selling one of lower quality. I just know that the one that was delivered to me looked like it was ripped to shreds by Freddy Kruger after just a few months on the pool (during a mild, eastern North Carolina winter I might add).

I also have a 30400042 Ducane grill and have been looking for a Ducane cover for it. Did you get this one and did it fit? I'm not finding many options for a cover for a 5-burner grill.

I purchased this for my fiancée's mother. She has one previously and was devastated when the heating element's electric controller failed after a few years use. She felt there was no better looking grill and few equivalent in performance. I am not an electric grill expert, nor am I familiar with the George Foreman unit. I would recommend that you keep it protected from the elements with the cover or keep it out of the rain. I assume you have a preference for electric outdoor grills but if you're open to charcoal, get a Big Green Egg. Worth every penny. But definitely a different class of grill then this unit. Thank you for asking. I hope that helps your decision. Good luck. I purchased this for my fiancée's mother.

I have the weber genesis 330 it worked ok but the griddle never seemed to get as hot as I hoped for and I returned it after a few tries. Found a better one from Nordic ware it was not as heavy duty but did heat up much nicer. its on Amazon for 39.99 good luck

June, I don't know what the best cover for the "Ball of Fire" is, but I know what it isn't. The one that came with the fire pit has already deterioated in just a very few months. I like the fire pit but the cover is terrible. We ordered another cover at the time but is is way too small. We are still trying to figure out the best cover to use.

weber covers fit just right if you have a weber grill - all you need is the model number for your cover - go on weber site and you should be able to track down the cover you need - than come back on amazon and find the cheapest price for that particular cover -

Received this grill for Christmas. I like it a lot, but noticed a tremendous amount of smoke coming out at the rim of the grill during cooking, and once I closed the top and bottom vents too. Charcoal would not extinguish and turned into ash. Lid was "out of round" by 5/12 of an inch. Was not a huge issue in cooking, but reusing partially burnt charcoal is a cost saver. Weber is sending new lid, and hopefully equally rounded to make a tight seal between lid and kettle. Is it just me or is the metal thinner and lighter (cheaper feeling) than my 15 year old Weber?
