Bull Cover

[hallsofmontezuma]

Since the official cover is sold out, does anyone have a 3rd party cover that fits they use and recommend?

My rt-700 is in the exterior corner of my covered screen porch. Would you even cover it or just leave it uncovered? A little bit of rain got on the controller metal cover last night. I'm not sure how much that matters. In pollen season it definitely needs to be covered, or else it will have a thick coat of yellow paint.

Mine are under a closed in porch but will get very dirty if you don't cover.

Do a search and you'll find a ton of post about covers...theres a thread on this topic I swear daily...

One of the folks on this forum suggested this one. I bought it last week and am quite happy with it. I can't say it is battle tested, yet. The quality seems quite good and the fit on my Bull is a winner. I purchased the 64"one.

Mostly out of sheer laziness, I do not cover my 680 anymore. It does sit out on an open deck.

As it's covered and out of the weather I'd just throw something cotton over it to keep off the dust. Mine sits out in the yard with a RT cover on it, many times when I remove it it's wet underneath. It's either condensation, or the rain gets through. The cover is less then 2 months old...

The cover sold by Rectec is rated as water repellant, not waterproof. I am on my second cover in 5 years for my 680 and I use it strictly to reduce sun damage. The water trapped under the cover has not effected my pellets or my electronics in any way in 5 years. My 680 is out on and open deck with no roof at all.

Thanks for the review. Good to know the moisture trapped inside doesn't negatively affect anything, as some have suggested.
Mine is on a screen porch, so mainly I'm looking to keep out pollen in the spring.

Here's how my cover usually fits. When I need another I’ll go with a generic to get a better fit.

That... seems off a bit.

You might want to try removing the drip bucket and store it inside the grill, the cover will fit great if this is done.

The cover takes some getting used to to put it on and take it off. I start with the smoke stack side and work from front to back. I also found that with the cover sits in the sun it is a lot easier to get one. Another tip, make sure the small round temperature probe access cover is closed before you put it on. If not when you take the cover off it will get hung up on it and bend it.
