This cover is easy to put on. It even has tags saying which way is front and back. I love the handles making it a breeze to pack up and carry along. I will say that having it cover the smoke stack is a bit odd. You'd think you'd want to make the unit smaller when packing it up to take somewhere. That being said, we haven't tried that feature yet and just love being able to cover it up when we're done using it (and it's cooled down) and leaving it set up and ready to use next time!
