Smokeware and dome cover?

Options
I've got a large BGE with the smokeware cap installed.  I think the cap has a larger diameter than the stock one. Will the dome cover fit this combination?

Related question. Is there a source for a dome cover for the mini-max?

    Are you talking about the grill cover?  It fits over the smokeware cap but the cap gets stuck in the cover when you take it off.

    I rarely cover mine but these days I take my SW cap off and run it through the dishwasher after each use and just store it inside my egg anyways, I use the ceramic cap to kill my fire and keep it on there until the next use.  So if I do cover it I just have to remember to not pull it off with the ceramic cover, which I did one time so I probably won’t do it again unless I’ve been drinking.

    You could get the smoke ware flat cap and use that to kill the fire and keep the cap off when you use the cover. I use both and only have a problem with the tight fit and sticking in the cover in cold weather.

    I'm talking about the dome cover.
