Napoleon Built-In Side Burner Cover for 18″ — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Napoleon Built-In Side Burner Cover for 18″?
This is a protective cover designed to fit Napoleon’s built-in 18″ side burners (e.g. in the 700 series). It shields the burner from weather, UV rays, moisture, and debris when the burner is not in use.
What are its main features and specifications?
• Material: heavy-duty PVC polyester, water-resistant and durable
• UV protection: treated to resist fading and cracking from sun exposure
• Ventilation: includes ventilation strips to reduce moisture buildup underneath the cover
• Hanging loops: two metal loops allow you to hang the cover when not in use
• Warranty: 3-year limited warranty from Napoleon
• Fits: 18″ built-in side burners in Napoleon’s 700 series and compatible models
How should I use this cover?
• Place the cover over the side burner when it’s cool and not in use to protect it from rain, sun, dust, and debris.
• Use the hanging loops to hang it off the grill or nearby when cooking so it doesn’t lie on the ground.
• Make sure the ventilation regions remain unobstructed to allow airflow and prevent trapped moisture.
• Remove the cover before lighting the burner or placing hot items on it.
How do I maintain and care for the cover?
• Rinse or wipe with mild soap and water occasionally to remove dirt or soot.
• Let it dry completely before placing it back over the burner.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives which might degrade the PVC polyester or UV treatment.
• Store it in a dry spot when not needed for long periods (e.g. winter) to extend its life.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Helps protect your side burner from the elements, which can extend its life.
• UV protection ensures the cover itself lasts longer without fading or cracking.
• Ventilation prevents moisture accumulation (which can lead to mildew or corrosion).
• Hanging loops offer convenience in storage.
Limitations / considerations:
• It must be removed before using the burner.
• If the burner is very tall or has custom modifications, the fit may be tighter or less perfect.
• Over time, extreme weather (sun, wind, cold) may stress the material—inspect periodically.
