Is there a better "Non-vented" options out there??? November 23, 2008
Seth G. Edmondson (Wichita, KS)
I have had another non-Weber gas grill for the last 10 years. It was covered for the entire time and this has led to a long and highly functioning grill. For the new Weber I decided to keep my accessories up to the Weber standard of quality and to go exclusively with Weber products like the utensils and cover. It is the cover that I would like to talk about.

I purchased the 7553 premium cover and I must say that at first look, it was amazed. The material is the best I've seen for covers. The extra wide and long Velcro strap should be able to keep the cover on the grill in even the gustiest of breezes. The fit was right on the mark. But then I noticed the two side vents and said to myself, 'What the heck are those things there for?'. According to Weber's customer service, these are there for ventilation purposes to reduce the chance of mold. I don't doubt that they WILL ventilate but they are also going to let the rain just poor in and on my new dream grill and that is not acceptable. According to Weber customer service, 'Weber grills are designed to be out in the weather. The cover is only to keep dust off of it.'.

These vents are going to let water in and basically damage or speed up the aging of my new grill. Apparently, Weber had a vent system a while ago that was located on the rear of the grill.

Are the vents really that important? If so, isn't there a better way that will vent while not allowing water to pass?...as in marine cover applications. This design is not up to the Weber standard of quality that I have come to know and trust. I hope that Weber marketing, engineering and management take this seriously and makes some changes to these covers before Weber get's saddled with some kind of poor quality reputation.

Great BBQ Cover November 10, 2008
Virginia M. Jenkins (Alameda, CA USA)
I really appreciate the quality of this BBQ cover. It is reasonably priced compared to other brands and, not only does it have vents on both sides, as well as velcro attached to each side, but it also fits well and is easy to put over the BBQ. I bought a DCS cover at the same time for my son's BBQ that cost twice as much as mine. It didn't fit well and did not have vents or velcro strips at each side. I recommend the Weber cover for anyone who needs a cover for their BBQ.

Overall just fine, but would have liked the cover to be a little longer to cover the grill wheels fully.

Dumbest design ever (side vents) October 15, 2008

I thought I had purchased a top of the line cover to go with my genesis 320, but I was more wrong than you could know. The only reason I didn't give this zero stars is because I can't. The first time after it rained, I had what would seem like 2 GALLONS of water poured all over my left side burner, the controls on the right, and the drip pan. There were mass amounts of water that funneled inside the cabinet of the grill on the propane tank, doors, and inside bottom areas. The icing on the cake is that I had sand and dirt come in through the vents during the rain, which was scattered all over the areas directly under the vents. I bought the charmglow 58" grill cover to replace it and not only does it fit perfectly(and works great after a rain)...it's HALF the price of the weber cover. Don't waste your time. They make an excellent grill, but this line of covers SUCK!!!!
