BBQ cover size finder
We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It does not change what we recommend. How this works.
Measure your BBQ with the hood closed and the side shelves up, type the three numbers in, and this page tells you which generic cover size fits and which covers to look at. If you only know the burner count, that works too, but measuring is what stops the wrong cover arriving.
How to measure, in three numbers
- Width. The widest point across the front, with both side shelves up. Shelves are where most people undershoot.
- Depth. Front to back at the deepest point, usually the hood handle to the back of the trolley or the rear shelf.
- Height. Ground to the top of the closed hood. If the BBQ has no hood, ground to the top of the hotplate or the side shelves, whichever is higher.
Every generic cover listing states its own width, depth and height. Buy the first size that beats all three of yours, and if you are between sizes, go up: aim for about two to five centimetres over each measurement. Ten or more over flaps in wind whatever the straps, and a cover five centimetres too small will not close under the hood. The full method is in the BBQ cover sizes guide.
The hood rule. A hooded cover is cut tall to go over a closed lid. A flat cover is cut low for hotplate BBQs with no hood and will not go over a hood at all. If you are not sure, you almost certainly need the hooded size.

Another kamado: A box-shaped generic cover does not seal on a kamado. Buy the brand's own fitted cover; the Kamado Joe and Pit Boss covers are in the smoker guide. Read the guide.
When a generic cover is the wrong answer
Kamados on carts, pellet grills with side hoppers, and anything with a rotisserie motor hanging off the side. Their shapes defeat a box-shaped cover; the brand's own fitted cover is the only one that seals. The Weber Q's tall rounded hood is the same story, which is why the finder sends Q owners to the fitted Weber covers.
