Recommendation for cover for XL

77bronco

I’m looking for a cover for my XL with nest and shelves. It sits on a covered porch and gets very little weather.  I’m looking more for a cover to keep dust/pollen etc off of it, not so much for rain/snow. Plenty of choices on amazon but the reviews are all over the place.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am interested to hear how many people cover them.

I don't have an XL but have used Ravenna covers on other grills - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R4J5DVG/ref=twister_B00RECARL4?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

They're pretty solid. Mine sit in direct sun and they last a few years before they get stiff. In a shaded setting they'll probably last far longer. Can't beat the price.

I’ll echo @HeavyG. I have a large that sits in a table and I returned the oem BGE cover and purchased the Ravenna for 1/2 the money. Very satisfied with the quality and what I really love is that it has four straps that go around the bottom of the legs to secure it perfectly.

I have used the BGE cover from the Cover Store for ten years and it still looks almost new. Highly recommend. https://www.coverstore.com/grill-covers/shop-by-grill-brand/big-green-egg-grill-covers?style=52

The newest BGE brand covers, the ones without the green piping, are excellent.  They’re light and don’t discolor or get stiff in the cold.  I’ve had one on my Large for the last 3 years and it looks good as new.

Mine is four years old and still like brand new. Covered patio that doesn't get that much sun. Amazingly good product.

I've been using a Classic Accessories Veranda Water-Resistant 27 Inch Kamado Ceramic BBQ Grill Cover on my XL for a few years and love it so much I bought a smaller version to cover my KJ Junior. Similar usage, covered porch that gets some rain or snow when the wind is blowing. 

Amazon has it for $30

How is yours sitting, on the Acacia table, granite/stone, or on the OEM stand? Mine is on the Acacia Table, and I want to protect everything I have stored under the table, so I bought a fairly heavy duty cover from Montana Covers, like the one below. It actually works perfectly! It also has vents on the side (you can see one in the photo, darker black just below the loop ... serves as a hand grip too. But in case there's any moisture under there, it can at least ventilate a bit.

I bought the BGE one at my dealer after adding shelves the Weber wouldnt fit anymore.  Had it 4 months but works well.

My cover managed to stay on last night in the ~70 mph winds... I expected it to be lost in the neighborhood
