    I just picked up an OEM cover for an XL. The bottom is a little crinkly, but the rest is good.
    Craigslist find, freebie.
    If you want it PM me your address. Cost of shipping only.

    I wish my XL was new again.
    Would have liked to see a monster brisket as your first cook.  
    Thank you,

    I gave up on covering my BGE's years ago
    The both Lrg & mini were on an uncovered deck and seem no worse for the for the wear.  Plus I am now in a semi covered basement walk out with a covered deck above.  I appreciate the offer though! TY

    You have the cleanest egg, concrete, gravel, deck box, deck post and post bracket I’ve seen in a long time, all in one spot. Did you just build everything and buy a new egg? Looks like the perfect setup.

    So I felt that way with my 15 year old large.  Then I did a clean burn, and scrub and fix.  Best feeling ever.....
