I've been thinking about hard covers like Blackstone offers, and unfortunately, Camp Chef does not offer one, but someone on Etsy does. They have sizes for the FTG600 and FTG900:

Having a cover like this also solves the delimma of how to cover the FTG900 if I take it off its cart and set it into a built-in configuration in an outdoor kitchen setup.
My main question for those of you who have similar type hard covers, such as for the Blackstone, is as follows:
- Is wind a concern? Will it pick up these covers and flip them off during a thunderstorm, most likely bending and mangling the cover? The Camp Chef is pretty much out in the open, with the closest wind break being an 8 foot privacy fence about 25 feet away. If I build in, the griddle top would still probably sit right above the counter surface, but I could recess it below slightly to get the cover out of the wind.
- Does a hard cover alleviate concern of surface rust to an outdoor griddle, or is that more a side effect of the humid outdoor environment versus the selection of hard or soft cover?
- Finally, does anyone know of a hard cover for the Camp Chef that is any cheaper than this stainless one at $190?
Thanks!
