Weber Genesis 300 Premium Grill Cover — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Weber Genesis 300 Premium Grill Cover?
This is a custom cover manufactured by Weber for its 3-burner Genesis / Genesis II 300 series grills. It offers weather protection without bulk, helps maintain your grill’s appearance, and helps shield it from rain, UV, and debris.
What are its specifications and materials?
• Fits models: Genesis 300 / Genesis II 300 series (3 burners)
• Dimensions: ~ 63″ W × 25.6″ D × 43.4″ H (outside)
• Material: weather-resistant polyester fabric with UV inhibitors (to resist fading)
• Closure: fastening straps to help keep the cover secure under wind or shifting conditions
• Warranty / durability: covered by Weber’s limited warranty, and marketed as “premium” construction to resist tearing, fading, and cracking with outdoor exposure
How do I install, use, and maintain the cover?
1. Always ensure the grill is cool before placing the cover to avoid heat damage.
2. Pull the cover over the grill, aligning front, back, and sides (including over any side shelves if folded).
3. Use the fastening straps to cinch it under the grill base or legs and reduce wind lift.
4. Periodically remove or lift the cover to allow moisture to evaporate and check for condensation underneath.
5. Spot clean with mild soap and water; avoid harsh detergents or machine washing to preserve UV and fabric integrity.
6. Store the cover in a dry area when not in use (especially in winter or during prolonged storage) to extend lifespan.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Good fit and tailored design for the Genesis 300 series, minimizing excess slack and flapping.
• Weather and UV protection helps reduce fading and surface wear on the grill.
• Straps provide added security against wind.
• Lightweight design makes it easy to put on and remove.
Potential limitations / cautions:
• Some users note that the fabric or straps may wear over time—especially Velcro or strap components may degrade faster.
• Moisture can still accumulate under the cover if left on too long in damp or humid conditions—venting is limited.
• Always ensure side tables are folded or within the cover’s envelope; otherwise, fit may be compromised.
• The “premium” label doesn’t make it impervious—it’s resistant, not invulnerable. Over years, UV bleaching or fabric fatigue may occur.
