... and in all fairness, this cover IS described as water resistant, but even so - don't expect it to keep out water,  if you're truly trying to keep your smoker bone dry. Not sure what they mean by double-stitched, but I can clearly see daylight through the sew-holes when looking into the inside of the cover. I Plan to run a bead of hot glue along the seams to hopefully make it more water "resistant."
