I ordered the EC Ravenna Kettle Grill Cover, Taupe.  It looked a little bit heavier than the beige one.  I should get it Friday.  I will let you know how it turns out. I have a OKP Crimson to cover.

Got the cover Friday.  It has nice heavy material and nice straps to secure it from the wind blowing it off.  There is also a cord to gather it up around the bottom.  Not bad and about $7 cheaper than the Weber brand cover.  Product description says it will fit a 26er.  Not a chance.  I would be surprised if it would even get around it.  All in all I feel it will last a long time.

i grabbed one of the new MT covers and it's not like a vinyl or plastic, it's more of a fabric. 

i hate that the bag doesn't detach and it gets caught under the wheel when moving the kettle covered.   i can't find a place to velcro it inside, as i suspected there may be.

did you notice this too?  or am i doing it wrong?  :o
I only use kettles with lid bales.

I hate that the bag hangs at the bottom. Will be cutting it off and feed it to the garbage can.

I have one of these, pretty good cover. Holds up well.

I was HIGHLY disappointed with the last Weber cover that I bought, which was for my 26". If was very stiff compared to my Performer cover, and didn't last near as long.

I already posted this but I'll go ahead here as well since its pertinent. So after recently chunking both my Performer and 26" cover recently, I just went ahead with a hunch on something that I thought might work a while, at least. It's not the best quality but not the worst either. Was $30 but found at Academy Sports this week for $15.
