Weber 7453 Premium Kettle Cover for 22-1/2-Inch Charcoal Grills

The cover works fine. It's a grill cover, so there's not a whole lot of innovation to be had. I however live in an area with wind storms, so I woke up one morning after a storm to find my grill naked, the cover nowhere to be found. I imagine it's somewhere in the Puget sound wedged in an Orca's blowhole. Some simple elastic on the bottom or grommet holes for bungees would have saved a whale.

Buy it. I expect this to last the life of the grill and I had my last Weber for 32 years before the legs finally fell off.

Cannot beat the taste of food cooked on charcoal...there is no comparison, and Weber makes the Cadillac of grills!

My dad was a master of the weber kettle--it's the only kind of grill I ever knew. When I moved to a house 26 years ago my parents bought me my own and after 26 years of good service I finally replaced it with a new one--I'm passing the old one on to my son. The new one is better than ever. My hassle with the weber was always the tray for ashes underneath--it was hard to remove and easy for the dogs to lick. Now there's no tray--a neatly enclosed pot for ashes. The only reason I don't give it all five stars is that it's still a bit of a struggle for me to remove the ash catcher--maybe it's just me. But I love the flavor of the slightly smoked food from the Weber and I like not having to deal with gas. With the Weber chimney charcoal starter I'm all set!

The Premium cover is a cover that is more durable the Staglar cover and more expansive than the Elgar cover. This cover is a new syth-meth material made up of Kevlar fibers which are extremely strong and durable (they are used for helmets and bullet proof vests). My dog Homer attempted to bite into it one day and he didn't even tear it. It is easy to wash (simply go down to a river and use vegetable soap), easy to use (simply put it on top of your grille) and even light weight (16ou). This can even be used as a blanket if you are stranded in the wilderness like I was one night, very warm.
