If your model is not listed, measure the overall width, depth and height of the grill and pick the closest size, and note whether the grill is built-in or freestanding."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"What is the difference between a built-in and a freestanding grill cover?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"A built-in grill cover drapes only the exposed grill head set into an island or counter. A freestanding or cart cover is taller and longer so it encloses the cabinet, doors and wheels of a standalone grill. Order the wrong one and you either leave a gap at the base or pool water in excess fabric."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Are grill covers waterproof?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Grill covers here are made from heavy-duty vinyl and weather-resistant polyester that resist rain, UV fading and cracking through year-round outdoor exposure.

Each is sized to a specific model or grill width, so you get a tailored fit rather than a generic drape."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Do you have covers for side burners and other outdoor kitchen appliances?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Yes. Beyond grill heads, covers here fit single and double side burners, power burners, pellet grills, flat top griddles, asado smokers and portable units. Confirm you are ordering for the right appliance, since a side burner cover and a grill cover from the same brand are different products."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"What size grill cover do I need?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Grill covers here span 24 to 50 inch widths, matching the units they are cut for.

A built-in cover is cut to the exposed head, while a cart cover has to clear the base and wheels as well."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"How much should I budget for a grill cover?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Grill covers here run roughly $50 to $400. Side burner and power burner covers sit at the low end, built-in grill head covers in the middle, and full-length covers for large freestanding hybrid grills at the top.

It keeps rain, snow, sun, dust and debris off the stainless steel, which slows staining and corrosion between cooks and through the off-season. Built-in heads benefit as much as freestanding carts do."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"What color are grill covers?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Covers here come in classic black or gray with fade-resistant finishes, so they hold their color through repeated sun exposure. Many also use reinforced seams for lasting durability. Both shades work against stainless steel and masonry, so pick whichever suits the rest of your outdoor kitchen."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Do grill covers stay on in the wind?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Many covers include secure ties that cinch the cover to the unit so it stays put in wind. This matters most for freestanding cart covers, which enclose more area and catch more wind than a built-in head cover. In exposed locations, choose a cover with ties over one that simply drapes."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"What else should I buy to protect my outdoor kitchen?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Alongside covers, an insulating liner protects a combustible island from a built-in grill's heat and is required in many installations.

Humidity and condensation can be trapped under a cover when the grill is covered while it is still wet. Let the grill dry after cleaning or after rain before you cover it, and take the cover off periodically to improve airflow. A cover reduces moisture exposure but cannot prevent rust on its own."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Do grill covers protect against UV damage?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Yes. A quality grill cover shields the grill from prolonged sun exposure, which fades finishes, damages plastic components and shortens the life of some materials. Sun damage is the kind people forget about, because it accumulates on clear days rather than arriving with a storm."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Can I leave my grill outside during the winter?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Yes. Most quality outdoor grills are built for year-round outdoor use, and a properly fitted cover adds protection against snow, ice and winter weather. Covers are designed to stay on all year, including the stretches when the grill is not being used often, so there is no need to pull the cover off for the season."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Will a grill cover keep insects, sap and debris off my grill?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"A grill cover is an effective barrier against tree sap, bird droppings, leaves and pollen, all of which stain or damage a grill's finish. It also reduces the debris, insects and small animals that get into the grill, though a cover cannot eliminate them completely."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Do grill covers fit grills with side shelves?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Some covers are cut to fit grills with fixed side shelves, while others are intended for more compact configurations without them. Verify compatibility against your grill's model number before purchasing, since side shelves change the width a cover has to span and a cover cut without them will not close around the grill."}]}, {"type"=>"heading", "level"=>3, "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"How do I clean a grill cover?"}]}, {"type"=>"paragraph", "children"=>[{"type"=>"text", "value"=>"Most grill covers clean up with mild soap, water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and bleach unless the manufacturer specifically recommends them. How long a cover lasts depends on material, climate, sun exposure and how often the grill is used, and keeping it clean is part of getting several years out of one."}]}]} |
