Bull Storage Question

[mwshort]

Have my RT700 stored on my back patio under a Unicook cover (no roof). Is this sufficient to keep rain out? Don't want to be dealing with pellet jams. Sorry if the is a complete newbie question that has been answered 1000 times.

I have the cover, but it sits outside rain, sleet and snow.

We don't get any rain, so I wouldn't know. I leave mine out in the elements, sun, more sun and a little more sun.

Hey, I am new too and don't be afraid to ask, all are here to help is my experience.

I have both of my grills under a covered porch. First got the 590 with a cover and then bought the 380 without cover. I live in Georgia and the weather has been wild. I did buy a cover for my 380 as we had rain blowing 90 degrees so I need to protect my grills! But NO issues.

Done maybe 5 cooks on the 590 and maybe 6 or 7 on the 380. I think they are both terrific grills!

I too have seen several issues on the forum and i think it is wise to pay attention, however I would not be alarmed. I think things happen and that does not we all have to panic! I do trust the community and listen...
My 2 cents worth and what I have learned!

I trust RT to back up the grills as they have done so far.

I got the Unitec 65” on the recommendation of another user. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B088FT16P9/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

The depth listed is 24” but the Bull is supposedly 32” deep. You are not having issues getting this cover to envelope the whole grill down to wheels (or close)?

I got it down to the wheels. Will post a picture later tonight when I get home.

Mine is stored slightly under a balcony and I move it out on the lawn for cooks, but I leave it uncovered Spring-Fall and put the rectec cover on for the winter. It gets rained on quite a bit and I've never had an issue with moisture or stuck/jammed augers.

Ok! 65” it is...btw is that a duckcover (different company, also on Amazon and recommended to me by someone else) on the grill next to your Bull?

 

[mwshort]

That’s a duck on my Weber

 

[DenStinett]

I cover ours, if we're not planning to use it for a week or so
If not, it does get Snowed on, and we've yet to have an issue

OH, it does sport the Cold Weather Cover for a few months

 

[MisterKrazee]

My thought is let it breathe if the weather is nice and only cover if it's going to rain.

I don't understand what's going on with their covers. At some point they had a cover that fit properly. I got it free since I picked mine up. I'll post a pic here but here's another discussion thread on the cover.

I see why it needs a jacket!

 

[Boxkiller]

I have the RecTec cover for the bull and leave it outside all year long, the only thing i have noticed is that condensation does build up under the cover. But it has not caused an issue with the grill or the pellets yet. I just take the cover off on nice days to get air in there.

Got this one. Like it so far, but only been a few weeks:
