My gas grill has no idea what a cover looks like. It has been on the patio
for a5 or 16 years now, rain or shine, summer and winter. I replaced the
wooden knobs a few times and then spend the extra $2 to get the synthetic
type. which have not needed replacement. I have replaced the burner
twice. The second replacement was cast iron and has proved itself worth
the extra cost. I have replaced the bottom grate twice. The valves got a
little sticky last year but a shot of WD40 loosened them up. I broke a
knob when the valve stuck but got a cheap replacement. So far, the things
that I have replaced that had to be replaced because of weathering were
cheaper than a cover. The body and frame are still in great shape.
