Keiko's heat check. This bbq grill cover blocks rain and bird droppings to prevent rust and grease buildup. It features a zipper for secure outdoor storage.

As a kitchen editor, I know that leaving an expensive grill exposed to the elements is a recipe for rust and stubborn grease. This page focuses on keeping your cooking surface protected during long storage periods so you do not have to scrub off years of weather damage.

Look for a zipper closure in the product photo to ensure the cover stays on during wind. Check the material description for weatherproof language that specifically mentions rain protection for your outdoor setup.
