Let’s face it, there are few things better in life than a sunny day, good friends and family, and great food cooked on your Weber barbecue. Nothing can spoil your guests appetite and confidence in you as the grill master as heading out to your grill to find it covered in dirt, grime, rain and weather residue. In fact, it was just such an occurrence at a friend’s barbecue that caused us to create the Weber BBQ cover website. I will never forget the comment my wife made when she walked out and saw my friends Weber for the first time “would you eat off that thing?” She asked with a disgusted look on her face.
Just because your Weber BBQ is a world-class outdoor cooking machine does not mean you can leave it uncovered an unclean when it is not being used, if you don’t care about the shape it’s in trust me your friends do and you probably don’t deserve such a fine work of art that is a Weber BBQ. Utilizing a Weber BBQ cover will not only keep your grill clean, it will allow you to start cooking faster and give you years if not decades of longer use out of your grill. If you own a Weber BBQ you must have a Weber BBQ cover.
Over the last decade outdoor grilling has gone from a summer pastime to a year-round option for those that love to cook good food this is why we recommend using a Weber BBQ cover all year long. 9 out of 10 grill owners do not put their grill and storage outside of the summer months they keep it in place and may grill less but they still grill utilizing a Weber BBQ cover will allow you to quickly and easily uncover your grill fire it up and grill a steak even in the colder war rainier months.
A Weber BBQ cover will protect your quality cooking investment from all of the elements. Often times grill owners do not realize that extreme damage that standing rainwater or snowmelt will cause to the metal surfaces that your Weber barbecue is made of. Because your rubber grill is designed for cooking it cannot be coated with the same rust resistant metal additives that your car or patio furniture have been protected with. Because your Weber BBQ does not have a chemical rust resistant suit of armor it’s up to you to protect it with a Weber BBQ cover.
Besides rain and snow and water from sprinklers dust and dirt caused by even the slightest breeze or pollinating flowers can build up on an uncovered grill and sometimes only a matter of hours. This buildup of dust will cause you to have to clean your grill or have your food tasting subprime when you need it. It’s a common misconception that he deemed the grill cleans it. Preheating your grill only burns the dirt, dust and grime leaving carcinogenic ashes behind to stick to your food and be eaten by you, your friends and your family. Using a Weber BBQ cover will illuminate the need for you to dust your grill before cooking on it.
Another issue a prideful outdoor chef does not even want to consider is birds, rodents and wildlife. There are many stories of folks that have fired up an uncovered, removed the lid after preheating to place their food on the grill only to find a charbroiled squirrel, bird or neighborhood cat. Using a Weber BBQ cover will keep animals out and keep your grill and food safe.
