Do you cover your grill?

How are you supposed to build that beautiful patina babying it with covers and putting them indoors?  I have had several 22.5 AllBlacks and never put them in any cover.  But then again, I like things lookin a little ugly or rough.

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!

Holy shit! Now that takes some balls to do something like that!

Mine are outside and covered when not in use. I do not have a garage to keep them in, so that's the best I can do.


I don't know if the thieves were very opportunistic or if they were watching his cook, but he was almost done and had gone back inside to get his pans.  My dad(a policeman) heard him in the yard cussing, grabbed his service pistol and went outside...the thieves had stolen the grate and all of the meat, which was 3-4 slabs of ribs.

Most of my grills have zav wood on them. None are standard oak replicas. Gotta keep the sun off of them, so I cover. The exceptions are my Target copper and Wood Dale 26". I stuck with the exclusive handles on the copper, and he can't do anything to the Woody.
Still need a 22" yellow

Kind of ironic that he can't do anything to the Woody.

When not in use I keep outside and covered

My workhouse performer stays uncovered outside. The rest are covered or in the garage.

There is a special place in hell for a meat thief.

Uncovered.  All my grills live under a covered deck in the winter (or stored) and in the summer they get their dose of Vitamin D.

I keep them in garage at this point as we don't have a fenced in yard yet due to a  new subdivision. Once I build another outdoor kitchen I will then keep them outside and likely covered. I also always clear coat the kettle triangle racks and bottom racks on my performer to help prevent rust from appearing where the grates are welded.

Coverered for a couple of reasons:
1. For protection
2. Its harder for my wife to recognize when I've added something new to the herd. That way they all look alike.
