Do you use Weber covers on your kettles ?

Whats the diff between the following 18" covers:   7452 (red kettle)  7301  (white kettle )  ?

Cheers and Beers !

Please allow me to translate from the Australian.......

No, he doesn't use them, because all his kettles are housed in "Gadial Gaining", which in turn needs to be translated from the Aboriginal...meaning: "Smoke Cave"

Unless of course, they are newer finds of vintage covers then he may use them, thus keeping in step with the general vintage quality of stuff around here....and in "Gadial Gaining"....... 8)



PS: Me personally, only on the wife's brand new one.......

I keep mine covered when I can. I have no cover for my S/S performer and 22.5 WSM. I tend to leave the cover off my Silver A in freezing weather because it tends to freeze on (in winter.)

I also only put covers on when the grills are dry.
kettles, smokers...

I have covers for everything (but the only thing that fits on my 4-handled WSM is a construction-grade trash bag).  I always mean to put covers on, but then it invariably rains, after which I wait for the grills to get dry.  When they are dry, I think, "I'll put the cover on before dark," and then I'm reminded when it starts raining again.

I cover mine.... except now I'm in a weird situation, my brown kettle is wearing my 90s redhead's cover, my newest addition to the stable (the '79 redhead) is wearing my brown kettles vintage cover and my '95 redhead is riding bareback.  :o  Time to pick up another cover. Oh and I keep my 18.5 covered, when its not in pieces in my garage.  ;D

Well...I was bad before Weberitis... Now they are all garaged, but no covers. They are not out in the elements of mother nature. They collect some dust, but being polished, wipes of nice with a cotton towel.

Mine all stay in the covered porch in the winter.  Summer the performer goes outside and when I remember I cover.  usually it rains to remind me. ::)

Mine all ride barbeack, but are kept in a tent when not in use. The one in use can handle the elements to help it get that weathered patina I like so much. I would like to have a vintage cover, but just for show.
