I like to keep mine covered. I feel it's the right thing to do but, I also have days where I uncover them and let them "Breath" and enjoy looking at them.

 ;D  Me too! Through my back patio windows. When I'm inside, all I have to do when I'm on my computer here, is turn to my right and there they are. Especially in the winter. During nicer weather, I sit on the patio usually before cooking or after a "family bath", drink beer, and enjoy looking at my grills. Yeah, I'm 'that guy'.

I usually do. But living in the Maryland humidity doesn't bode well. I find that moisture collects under the cover and traps it inside, which creates mold.. I'm seriously considering leaving them off, or finding old new stock covers that breathe.

I have covers for all my grills. I never use them.

I don't cover.
the only motivation I have for covering is to keep the handles nice.

I'd rather see my grills daily.

Cover them all. :-)

I’d say partially. Like Troy I like to walk by the kitchen window and see them out on the patio but if rain is coming then I’ll cover.

I cover them mainly for dust, and because FUCKING SQUIRRELS will scratch them.

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 !

I purchased all my cookers new, I keep them covered and garaged. I've also seen others leave them out all year. I would think it's just a personal preference.

I used to be diligent about covers. But they don’t do much for rain or moisture. With all the tree coverage now... I’m not so worried about sun damage.
Still need a 22” yellow
