Prior to ordering, I was concerned that this would be a heavy, super tightly fitting cover (like my grill cover that always tears on the corners). I was happy to find upon its arrival that this cover is light-weight and super easy to use while still serving its purpose quite well. The fit is such that it has enough wiggle room to allow me to leave the chip tray in place and place the plug and cord on top of the smoker beneath the cover and still slides on easily.
