I love my grill and want to keep it looking new for as long as possible.  Living in SW FL, this is easier said than done.  Having a cover on a grill here is a necessity.  The material the cover is made from is heavy duty and it fits like a glove.  One feature that I really like is the cinch cord at the bottom because it prevents the cover from flopping around on windy days.  If you have this grill, you must buy this cover.
