Reader Reviews
When I purchased my new Weber Genesis grill I wanted to get a nice cover to protect it. Amazon had it listed as backordered so I went to my local HD to buy this Weber grill cover. When I open the box I immediately noticed the nice material quality. Put the cover on my new grill and it was a perfect fit. The velcro straps hold the cover on tight so it will never blow off in a wind storm. Then I noticed two large mesh vents, one above each side table. It didn't make sense to me, but hey I'm sure Weber knows what they are doing. Then a few days later it rained on my new cover. The next day I went out to pull off the cover and both side tables had large water puddles on them. That's when I found out that when water collects on the side tables, it will drain into the cabinet below the grill. Frustrated, I went to Amazon again and read the reviews on the cover. Several people mentioned a rear vent but none mentioned any side vents. So I purchased the cover from Amazon and waited several weeks for it. I was excited to see on the box pictures that it didn't have side vents. As I pulled the cover out my excitement turned to disappointment that it had side vents and no rear vent. This cover is useless with the side vents. I will be returning it. If this is Weber's new design, I will be purchasing a generic grill cover. 5 stars for the cover durability and velcro straps, 0 stars for the side vent design. Update 11/09/07: By trial and error I was able to find a Weber grill cover with a rear vent at a different HD. This is a much better design than the side vent version. Unfortunately, you cannot tell which version you are getting by only looking at the box. The boxes are identical down to the date code markings.
