The answer is a definite yes. There are a few considerations here, too. A cover is only good if you use it. And you can’t cover your smoker immediately after shutting it down. The last thing you may feel like doing is going out to cover (and hopefully clean the grates on) your grill after gorging yourself on ribs, but you need to. Pop-up showers are most likely during peak grilling seasons like spring and summer. Also important: if you keep your grill covered, you reduce your usefulness of your wireless grill app and the ability to start it up remotely. You can’t start your grill before you leave the office if it has a cover on it, unless you want a melted mess when you get home.
