Is the cover you are looking for an older or newer 26?

Apart from the Weber Premium 7574 which is now found mostly on Ebay, XClassic Accessories makes a real good one. I don't know for sure whether it will fir the 26er, bur HomeDepot claims it will ... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Classic-Accessories-Veranda-Kettle-BBQ-Cover-73422/202984299?

Here's another one that is heavy duty in a different color: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Classic-Accessories-Hickory-Kettle-Grill-Cover-55-202-012401-EC/205877174?

PS: Comments on amazon indicate that this will NOT fit the 26er .. sorry!

Weber's site lists their #7153 cover for the newest 26" with lid bale.  https://www.weber.com/US/en/accessories/covers/premium-grill-cover-17 (https://www.weber.com/US/en/accessories/covers/premium-grill-cover-17)

I have a newer 26" Weber cover on mine. It is going on three years old and still looks brand new. Works fantastic.

I like the Weber ones too. The 26 cover is new and the performer one is a year old. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170818/44f3084523997d5e26e05f4c75ab600f.jpg)

Yeah, the Classic Accessories covers won't fit the 26.  They can only handle a maximum diameter of 26.5", and the the 26er is 27" x 33" wide with the bale.  I really wanted them to fit since they are so cheap.

I have a Weber cover on my newer 26" for about 5 years now.   It's been in the Wyoming winter, Texas heat.
