Char-Broil 5+ Burner Extra Large Rip-Stop Grill Cover - Heavy Duty

In this review the Char-Broil 5+ Burner Extra Large Rip-Stop Grill Cover is evaluated for durability and fit for larger backyard grills. The bottom line: this cover is aimed at owners of 5, 6 or 7 burner gas grills, x-large combo grills, charcoal grills and smokers up to 72 in wide who want a heavier, more weather-resistant option than standard covers. Its standout attribute is the ultra-premium 24mil polyester with a PE interior coating and sealed seams, which together deliver significantly better protection from rain, UV and winter conditions than thin fabric covers.

Key Features

• Size and fit: Designed to fit grills and smokers up to 72 in wide and provides full coverage at 72 in W x 42 in H x 24 in D for larger units.
• Material strength: The 24mil polyester ripstop fabric is built up to seven times stronger than common covers, resisting tears and punctures from rough handling.
• Interior protection: A PE interior coating adds a waterproof barrier that helps keep moisture off metal surfaces and internal components.
• Sealed seams: Sealed seams improve water resistance so rain and melting snow are less likely to seep through stitch lines.
• Secure fit: Longer, adjustable side straps help keep the cover in place during wind and storms so it does not blow away easily.
• UV resistance: Built-in UV protection reduces fading and keeps the cover material looking better over multiple seasons.

Who It's For

This cover is best for homeowners with large gas grills (5, 6 or 7 burners), x-large combo grills, charcoal grills or smokers that measure up to 72 in wide and need a durable, weather-resistant solution. It suits people who store their grill outdoors year-round and want extra protection from rain, hail and UV exposure.

Those with much smaller grills, very tight storage spaces, or who prefer lightweight, low-cost covers may want a more compact or less heavy-duty option. If you need a custom-fit cover for an unusual shape, a tailored cover could be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Heavy-duty 24mil ripstop polyester provides noticeably robust protection in wind and winter weather.

• UV protection limits fading so the cover maintains appearance over time.

Cons

• Extra-heavy construction makes the cover less convenient to fold and store compared with thin covers.
• Large size may be unnecessary for owners of compact grills and can feel bulky when handling.
