Is this product something I can leave attached year round? I live in MA and grill throughout the winter.

I don't see why not...as long as the magnets hold...it should work. It emits an alarm based on the change in temperature created when the the liquid propane converts to a gas and the level of liquid drops.

So long as the product itself gets at least some protection from the elements (e.g., the tank is underneath your grill), I think it should be OK. Remember that the genie must be mounted as low as possible on the tank, so try to protect it from the MA snows!!! Good luck!

I'm in VA and leave mine on all year. Since it works on a difference in temperature, it may malfunction when very cold. Mine did in temps below 30. But I still like it. Nothing finer than grilled food in the winter.

Yes. In Massachusetts as well. Got for Christmas. Put on immediately and have used it continuously . Grill stored outside under a little overhang year round. Recommend highly.

I leave my tank out all winter with the genie on it and it doesn't seem to harm it in any way.

Yes, I have had mine for a summer and now winter cycle, keeps the area at the temperature I specify. I would definitely recommend this product.

Well after I clean it I spray a light coating of "high heat" Pam cooking spray and with a cloth wipe the entire grill down and then cover with a plastic cover for the winter! I hope this helps.

No, it is not. I had to replace it just about once each season. I would not recommend it, unless you keep covered grill in a shaded/covered area. (Kind of ridiculous that you need some cover to protect a cover.)

Sorry the grill is buried under a bunch of snow and ice and I cannot right nowt. It is about 10 degrees outside. Brrrrr

That is what I used it for, worked pretty well and kept things happy through winter. Thanks for reminding me to bring it back out!

Yes, we kept it out this winter with just the lid on it. We did not have any problems doing that even in a harsh winter in Michigan. You could also cover it in a tarp for extra protection.

You may have to. When we ordered about 2 summers ago it came with 3 pieces which is how many our grill holds. Hope this helps and best of luck!

I got mine in 2011. It sit out side all year uncovered. Now what I do is get a spray bottle. Mix 2 third with vegetable oil and 1 third olive oil. Shake to mix. Be careful when shaking. Next spray excessively all over. When the grill is hot I like to coat the top alot since it bake in. I also use this to coat the grates foe seasoning and non stick. I only coat when I grill. But first time I used two bottles worth. Like I said sit out rain snow sun all year and no rust. good luck

I use mine year-round. I live in the Smoky Mountains in North Georgia so we don't get as cold as you but I have used it in 20-30 degree weather. It does take it a little longer to get it to working temperature and a little more charcoal to keep it at temperature but it is well insulated so it maintains temperature just like in the summer.

I leave it year round.Very good product, although, it will spring little leaks but extremely easy repair, a screw and aquarium glue and it's perfecto

Yes. I have left it outside since September, throughout the entire winter. It shows no impact from the weather. This is a great product.

I leave it on there all the time. To get a reading at the grill surface, because there is some temp differences from the good temp to grill temp.

While it is a good product, I would use a braided braided high temp material. First use and it stuck to the upper lid and now has a frayed look. The braided nylon would be better suited for Webber grills.

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.

you could use a grill bottle, not the little tiny ones, like the ones you can exchange at Home Depot and places.
