Do you cover your grill?

Everything outside is covered. The wood handles on the fire pit split lengthwise over this past winter/spring, so I make sure to let all the wood handled stuff breathe occasionally. I need more covers for the stuff in the garage because they get real dusty/dirty if left naked. Most are covered by tarps now.

Uncovered. I'm lazy.

I've been fortunate enough to have either a covered gazebo or a covered deck and consider that ideal for working grills.

-- My grills are old and do not shut down the charcoal very well. They stay warm, or even hot, for quite a while. Don't want to melt a cover. I'm assuming those of you without gazebos or covered decks or carports or garage space wait until the next day before placing covers back on?

-- Anything with a wood handle that you care about, or paid good money for, needs to be covered in my opinion. It will get destroyed by rain, if not sun.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

I got wood, zav's custom wood, on all my stuff, 'cept for the Greenie I just acquired from Mr.CPHo... that's got some beautious original Weber wood handles on it. I'm protecting my wood...

Negative. Those covers always flew off anyway. I do store them in my shed though, but my regular grill just sits out year round.

Uncovered, garage kept. If I could keep them outside, I would, but I live in Chicago where a neighbor once had the meat stolen off his grill....as it was cooking!

All my grills would grow legs if they didn't live inside.  Otherwise, I would.

That's nice to have a shed. I'll have one hopefully one day. I think the new Weber covers have a strap that prevents them from flying away though.
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

Yes, it is nice to have a shed, butt unfortunately, my kettles are outside of it. The shed is occupied with tools and other things. Yes, the new covers do have straps to keep them in place.

I have grills with nice Zav handles, and the handles get destroyed even covered. It seems that moisture in the air is an issue.

Well that's depressing. Guess I'll do whatever I can to keep non-cover storage a priority with mine.

Well, so far, so good with the covers. We'll see...

What?! Who does that?! If  the thief was that hungry, I bet any grillfella woulda shared a meal with him once it finished cooking! Geez!

My old neighbor had a cover with a strap, and, in our experience, those were worse. The wind would pick up not just the cover, but knock over the grill as well! Fun times!!
