Curious:
Anyone else having a hard time getting the cover on the RT1250?
Also, anyone experiencing leakage / staining around the 1250 door?
 
It does leak out the top but every time I use it I clean with simple green grate cleaner.

The cover is miserable. I have i modified it and it’s a dream now. Added a zipper to one part

I always have troubles with grill covers. My last few always deteriorated after a few years. The 700 is my first grill without a cover and loving not having to deal with it!
 
I got the zipper off Amazon. Heavy duty plastic zipper so no rust and i brought the cover to a laundromat/dry cleaner that does sewing. They installed it and made it look perfect
Okay, I'll ask.... How much did they charge to install the zipper? If you decline to answer, I understand.
Thanks
 
As a result of your post. Recteq will probably be offering the zippered cover next.
Most likely will want to charge for that too. Thus far, my experiences with Rec Teq in buying a new 1250 has been less than positive, except for Daniel. I thought I would enjoy the excellent same “Customer Service” I enjoyed with Traeger ….. not! Instead of selling my Traeger 575, think I better keep it 🤞
