Encore/Muscle 36" Freestanding Deluxe Grill Cover

Encore/Muscle 36" Freestanding Deluxe Grill & Cart Cover

The Encore/Muscle 36" Freestanding Deluxe Grill & Cart Cover (CARTCOV-AMG36) is cut specifically for the 36" Encore, Muscle and Ovation freestanding grills, which is the whole point — a tailored cover sheds water off the hood instead of pooling on it, and does not flap itself to pieces in wind the way a generic cover does. Browse the full range of grill covers from American Made Grills.

Constructed from heavy-duty PVC, fully water-resistant and UV-protected to slow the fading and embrittlement that kills cheap covers after two summers. The material is the part people skip when comparing covers, and it is the part that determines whether you are buying one cover or one every eighteen months.

A freestanding cover has a harder job than a built-in one, because it has to reach the ground and stay there. Everything a built-in cover ignores — the cart drawers, the tank compartment, the caster hardware — is exposed on a cart, and the tank compartment in particular is where standing water causes real problems.

Inside, a soft flannel backing sits against the stainless. This matters more than it sounds: an unlined cover traps grit against the finish and, with enough wind cycles, polishes fine scratches into the hood. The flannel layer is what keeps the stainless looking like stainless.

On a grill at this price point the cover stops being an accessory and starts being basic asset protection. Stainless does not rust, but it does pit, stain and dull under sustained exposure — and a pitted hood is not something you polish back.
