How does it handle hot &amp; dry weather? Other covers melt to the grill, fade, or weaken, I read, and I'd like to be sure this won't fail in AZ. Thanks!

It started to crack in about a year in a south facing deck in Northern VA. I expect to get one more year out of it.

I woul take it apart and clean it once a season. I did not do this and the supports for the heat deflectors are rusting away. I think this is a fatal occurrence and would want to avoid at all cost. I think that is the grill's weak spot.

I have the cast iron grates on my Weber grills at both of our places in Utah and Texas. We just returned to Utah after 7 months and the grill on my Performer (covered but outside all winter) was still in perfect condition. Never have had any issues. I always just clean them down with a brush like usual before leaving. They are the greatest - really surprised Weber doesn't have them on their grills.

the cover for the grill is a non treated canvas with weatherproof backing on the inside. So kinda....wouldn't 100% consider it waterproof.

I have had it on the grill since we bought it and it rains and snows in Indiana and it has held up very well. My husband loves it!

Never had a problem with the cover blowing off. I dont even use the velcro tabs. The cover is constructed from heavy/durable material and gravity does most of the work. BBQ would tip over before cover came off

The cover fits just fine. It did fade in the sun, but has not deteriorated and keeps my grill protected well.

I would invest in a cheap cover to be honest. The one I got on Amazon works great, even in high wind. Brinkmann 812-1092-S Universal Grill Cover, 55-Inch. It has a draw string on the bottom to keep it in place nicely.

I have not had any problems. It storms here a lot. If you are looking to buy a good grill for a good price, I promise you this is the one.

I bought this grill for our Arizona property last fall, have not had any problems. As a matter of fact, I am so impressed with the grill I just purchased a second one for our house in Colorado.

I have not noticed any as of yet. We had a storm a few weeks back where we got over 7 inches of rain in two days. Did not see any then but if it was a very small amount it may have dried up before I took cover off at next use of grill. We are suppose to have rain tonight and tomorrow. I will check after it stops raining to make sure.Kenny

mine stays on grill all the time. I have grilled in the rain and the light is fully functional. I do cover my grill (and light) when I am not using the grill.

Our grill stays outside. We have a cover for it which I'm sure protects it from the elements and that would be my recommendation to make sure it doesn't corrode in any way. Also, the cover keeps it clean so I would imagine you use a cover anyway.

It holds up to heat well. But do not leave it outside in the rain as is is not waterproof. I bring mine inside after every grill session and it works wonderfully every time.

I run mine from 800-900 degrees and the paint on the i side of the webber lid started to flake off. Just hit it with a paper towel and it comes right off with no problems. I have used it for two years now and my grill is still fine.

I've had the same problems with other grill covers. This one is made of heavy, quality material and has held up well in the few months I've had it. I haven't noticed the smallest rip or tear yet. Also, it has an elastic band at the base and ties to the legs of your grill so there's not much movement in windy conditions.

The grill can rust,plus you want to keep the electrical parts of it dry.Its in your best interest to cover it.
