Weber Premium 22 in Charcoal Grill Cover - Breathable Weather

Our review of the Weber Premium 22 in Charcoal Grill Cover finds it best suited for owners of the 22 in Weber charcoal kettles who want a durable, breathable alternative to vinyl. The single biggest reason to buy is the fabric construction: made of 100% polyester with UV inhibitors, the cover resists fading while remaining supple in cold weather, making it easy to put on and take off. For anyone who needs year-round protection without trapping moisture, this cover offers a practical balance of toughness and breathability.

Key Features

• Fabric construction: 100% polyester offers vinyl-like ruggedness while staying pliable in cold temperatures for easier handling.
• UV protection: UV inhibitors in the fabric help resist fading so the cover keeps its appearance over time.
• Water resistance: Breathable and water resistant material sheds light moisture while allowing airflow to reduce trapped condensation.
• Fastening strap: A strap with Velcro keeps the cover secured to the grill and helps prevent blow-offs in ordinary conditions.
• Fit: Sized to fit 22 in Weber charcoal grills without a side table, providing a snug, tailored fit for that range of kettles.
• Cold-weather performance: The soft, pliable fabric still slides on and off even in extreme cold, avoiding the stiffness common to some covers.

Who It's For

The Weber Premium 22 in Charcoal Grill Cover is ideal for owners of 22 in Weber charcoal grills who want a fabric cover that balances protection and breathability. It suits those who store their kettle outdoors year-round and prefer a cover that resists fading and stays easy to handle in colder months.

Owners of grills with side tables or users of vertical smokers such as the Smokey Mountain Cooker should look elsewhere, since this cover is not designed for those models. If you need fully waterproof, heavy-duty vinyl protection for constant immersion or extreme wind-prone locations, consider a different style built for those specific demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Weber kettle with a side table?
No. This cover is sized to fit 22 in Weber charcoal grills without a side table and will not properly fit models with attached side tables.

Is the material waterproof?
The fabric is water resistant and breathable, designed to shed light moisture while allowing airflow to reduce trapped condensation, but it is not fully waterproof like heavy vinyl.

Does it stay on in wind?
The fastening strap helps secure the cover in typical conditions, but some users report blow-offs in strong winds, so extra anchoring may be advisable in exposed areas.
