Yoder Smokers El Dorado Charcoal Grill Cover

Yoder Smokers El Dorado Charcoal Grill Cover — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Yoder El Dorado Charcoal Grill Cover?

This is a custom-tailored cover designed to fit Yoder Smokers’ El Dorado charcoal grills. It protects the grill from rain, dirt, debris, and UV exposure when the unit is not in use.

What materials, features, and sizing does it have?

The cover is made of water-resistant fabric to defend against moisture and environmental damage. It uses a **four-point latch system** to secure it tightly to the grill, reducing flap in wind. It also includes **dual vents** to promote airflow and help reduce moisture buildup under the cover. The cover is offered in **36"** and **42"** versions, matching the appropriate grill widths.

How do I properly use and care for the grill cover?

1. Let the grill cool fully before placing the cover to avoid trapping heat under the fabric.
2. Fit the cover over the entire grill body, including hood and sides.
3. Secure it with the latch points so it stays snug even in breezy conditions.
4. To clean, gently rinse off dirt or dust with mild water. Avoid harsh detergents.
5. Always let the cover dry fully before putting it back on to reduce trapped moisture.
6. Inspect regularly for wear, stitching integrity, and latch performance.

Will using this cover damage the grill or void its warranty?

No — using a properly fitting, manufacturer-approved cover is intended for protection, not damage. As long as the grill is clean, dry, and not hot when covered, it should not void warranties nor harm finishes. (Standard practice for protective grill covers.)
