I plan on using this under my vented boat cover. In order for this to work as it should, do I need to close the vents on the cover?

I'm not sure. The instruction read that it should not be used outdoors, so I would say close the vents. As long as water does not get into the unit there shouldn't be a problem.

I think you would need some sort of venting to occur in order to prevent expansion from the heat. It works very well the way it is designed.

The fire pit has a vent on the bottom, and although there is a cover you can rotate to shut the vents, it could be a problem. I have mine on a paver patio.

I don't see why not if your boat is covered. I would not let anything out uncovered but this is a nice box and will work fine if taken care of.

I believe the vent should be open. It is very difficult on mine to move the metal liner so the vent is closed so I don't think it is meant to be twisted shut. I reread the instructions and there is no mention of closing the vent nor does it mention the vent at all. I did find one problem with the boiley is that it is very easy to discard the instructions as they are part of the wrapping rather than a separate leaflet. I had to retrieve mine from the trash as my husband had thrown it away.

I installed the vent cover over a fantastic fan. It has worker out OK but you cannot open the vent all the way. Also, you have to stretch the vent to make it fit into the brackets. It works fine though. I have had it on for almost a year. I was concerned it might blow off in travel because the brackets screw into the plastic housing of the fantastic fan. We have gone over 10,000 miles and it is still in place

Close the vent. Most newer cars have an inside and outside vent closure. If I close the inside vent, I can still mount it to the outside vent. It has not bee cold enougb yet for me to try it.

I did not use dehumidifier packets such as DampRid prior to covering my boat with the Vortex Heavy Duty cover. There are no vents in the cover however I do not believe I have a 100% water seal on the boat. Its never a bad idea though to use DampRid packets for winter storage of your boat.

Yes, it will. The cover will stay shut on its own. I also liked the plate on the inside of the vent tube, it allowed for a good seal on the inside wall. I primed and painted the whole thing to match the color of the house.

Living in Beauty has it covered. Make sure the small vent release is not sticking. It should be loose until it pops shut.

I Find if you leave the vent top open it seems to close easier than when it is down but I too notice the same issue. I hope this helps

I took mine and placed it on my vents with the heater on. You can place it outside if its warm and wait then place into a widemouth container like i did.

There are vents on either side that can be opened or closed and the smoke stack has a cover to it also. I didn't do anything extra to seal it up. I've been using it for over a year now with no problems, but I'm no kind of expert on grilling.

no vents. really no need for them - air does not need to circulate underneath. keeps the grill nice and clean and dry. easy to take on and off. great cover!

No, you have an option to use it ventless or vented. Very pleased with the product.

Absolutely no, but it's very easy to avoid the water coming in, I just cover the vent with duck tape and problem solved!

This grill cover does not have vents. There is sufficient air flow from the bottom. We do not put the cover on while the grill or the cover are wet.
