    PBC Cover?

    Anyone know of a good cover for the PBC that fits well. Preferably one of the waterproof fabrics, not vinyl. The PBC vinyl one cracked and deteriorated after a year. Currently using a heavy duty trash bag that doesn't look so great on the patio.

    I'm still on year 1 of my PBC cover...about 8 months or so to be precise. I love how it fits. Good to know a year is the life expectancy.

      The one for the Weber 22” Kettle is supposed to last 3 years. Almost year and mine still looks like new. The first vinyl one lasted a little more than a year. Might be too big though for the PBC.

        I would use a Weber smokey mountain cover. They are of better quality. Pit Barrel does everything so well; I am not sure why they have dropped the ball on the covers. I like to keep mine in the garage.

          Did I get a different cover than everyone else? Mine feels like almost new, been out in the snow, ice, and now intense heat. It's really flexible, which is why I love it... unlike my 22" Weber kettle cover, which A) doesn't go all the way down and B) is stupid stiff after two years, and now starting to rip at the seams. I don't even take it off that frequently, and it's the "better" of the two I see from Weber! (Weber 7453 Premium Kettle Cover)

            Two years and counting with little wear and tear on my PBC original cover ...

              It spends all day in the Texas heat on my patio so guessing that has something to do with it.

              Spinnaker, so the WSM cover fits over the PBC side handles with no problems? I don't have one, but they look skinnier than the PBC.

                If you get the cover for the 22", it will fit.

              I like my cover. It fits very nicely and isn't too difficult to put on or remove. Having said that, I've only had my PBC for a couple of months, so I can't speak to the cover's longevity.

                My PBC cover will be 3 next month. Its still in perfectly good shape, but it lives on a covered patio. Subjected to plenty of Florida heat, but no direct sun.

                    Hahaha.. Love it. Me too! Occasional wipe down with a damp shop towel.

                  I bought the CoverMates brand barrel grill cover for mine & it is 2.5 years old & still going strong.

                    I have the regular cover and it's been fine. Of course, I live in the Bay Area and could probably wrap the thing in paper napkins and be safe from the "weather"...

                      I just received the Unicook Heavy Duty Waterproof Dome Smoker Cover, Kettle Grill Cover for $17.99 from Amazon. It seems more durable than the Weber premium covers and the size is really close -- it's bunched just a tiny bit at the floor.

                          I use a Weber kettle cover I bought at Wally World on clearance for $5.00. Works great.
