A grill cover is the best way to keep your grill in its best working order, but grill covers can also be a hassle for some people. It’s very annoying when you go out there to grill and you notice that your grill cover has blown off of the grill. This problem may arise on windy days, even if it doesn’t always happen, or maybe your grill cover was not secured properly. Whatever the reason is, grill covers can be both helpful and harmful; you just have to make sure that yours does not blow away with the wind ever again!
Here are some helpful tips that will keep your grill’s cover from blowing off.
1) You need to secure your grill properly before putting on the grill cover. Make sure that you put some grill weights on the grill. Grill weights will help weigh down your grill cover so it doesn’t blow off with the wind or fly away with birds. Also, make sure that grill is clean before putting on the grill cover so that it can stick better to the grill.
2) Make sure you use a grill cover that is customized for your grill’s exact size. There are many different sizes and shapes of grills, and you need to make sure that you have a grill cover that fits nicely over your grill’s surface area. If not then even little gusts of wind can cause this problem because there will be gaps in between the grill and the grill cover where air can pass through easily.
3) You should also try to grill on windy days when you grill out. These grill covers should always be used when grilling, even if it is not windy. You never know what could happen, so it’s better to grill with grill covers than without. The grill cover can serve as an extra layer of protection just in case it does start raining while your grill is out.
4) Grill covers should also be handled delicately and not dragged across the ground. You might not think that this would cause any damage but grill covers are very thin and will tear after dragging them across the ground too much. They get dirty quickly too; all you need is one small piece of gravel stuck in between the grill cover and your grill to make a hole in the grill cover.
5) Grill covers should never be left out in the sun for too long. This will cause grill covers to fade and crack, which then can also tear grill covers more easily (if they are dragging them across the ground). And grill weights that work well on windy days may not do so well in hot weather so it is best to take grill weights off when grilling out in high temperatures.
Remember grill covers don’t last forever and you will probably need a new one every season or two. For grill sizes: Large: 2-3ft tall Small: 1-2 ft tall Medium: 18 inches tall these tips will keep your grill’s cover from flying away!
