BBQ cover sizes: measure your BBQ, then find the cover for your type and brand
Four-burner, six-burner, built-in, kamado or pellet grill? Three measurements settle the size, and the BBQ's shape decides whether a generic cover will do.

Quick answer: Best for most: measure width, depth and height with the hood closed and the shelves up, then buy the first size that beats all three by about 2 to 5 cm. Hooded three- or four-burner trolley: the BBQ Buddy Medium Hooded cover, 165 x 64 x 100 cm, sold by Amazon Australia (checked 13 Nov 2026). Hooded six-burner: the Gasmate 6 Burner Hooded Premium, 208 x 64 x 117 cm. Built-ins, kamados and pellet grills need a cover cut for their shape; Weber Q owners, see the Weber Q cover guide.
How we picked: Out of 54 we looked at from Australian BBQ shops, these 5 came out ahead on fits, material and price, using each maker's Australian spec and warranty pages and, for anything that runs on gas, the regulators' certificate database. We haven't cooked on them yet, so heat and cooking claims are the makers' own. Not covered yet: custom covers for masonry outdoor kitchens or BBQs over 208 cm wide, pellet grills sold only through specialist dealers (Yoder, Recteq), the Ziegler & Brown Turbo built-ins, and fitted covers for the BeefEater Clubman and 1200 series built-in, the Matador Hardie and the Char-Griller ceramic kamado, because none was listed when we checked. The Jumbuck, Matador, Crossray and Pit Boss covers and the BeefEater four-burner trolley cover are compared below but not picked: as far as we found they're sold only at Bunnings, which doesn't pay us. Fitted covers for a single model are in each section's table. Commission never puts a worse product ahead of a better one. A shop that pays us can go first even when another is cheaper (the cheapest price is always shown), and we may leave out a product sold only at a shop that doesn't pay us. Full method.

The wrong-size cover is the most common BBQ accessory return, and it is avoidable in five minutes with a tape measure. This page is the measuring method and the size table, then the covers that fit each type of BBQ and each big brand. For fabric, waterproofing, straps, cleaning and buying at BCF, see the best BBQ covers guide; for Weber Q, kettle, Genesis and Spirit covers, see which Weber Q cover fits.

Questions to ask before buying a BBQ cover size in Australia
- How do I measure? Close the hood, put the side shelves up, then measure the widest point, the deepest point and the height to the top of the closed hood. Buy the cover that beats all three by about 2 to 5 cm.
- Burner count or centimetres? Centimetres. Shops label generics by burner count, but two four-burners from different brands can be twenty centimetres apart.
- Hooded or flat? A flat cover won’t go over a hood. Almost every four-burner sold in Australia today is hooded.
- How loose? About 2 to 5 cm over each measurement goes on easily and sits still with the straps in. Ten centimetres or more over flaps in wind, whatever the straps, and flapping tears covers at the hood corners.
- Trolley or built-in? A trolley cover goes to the ground. A built-in head takes a hood cover measured above the bench; see built-in covers.
- Kamado, pellet grill or rotisserie? Their shapes defeat a box-shaped cover, so buy the brand’s own fitted cover: see kamado covers and pellet grill covers.
- Does a Weber Q need a Weber cover? It doesn’t have to, but the fitted cover follows the tall rounded hood, where a square generic leaves a gap at the back. See which Weber Q cover fits.
- What standard should it meet? None: no Australian standard covers BBQ covers, so judge the fabric, the fit and the warranty.
- Is the BBQ cool? Weber’s manuals say don’t cover a barbecue that’s in operation or hot (Weber manual). Measure it cold, too.
- What if the cover fails early? Consumer guarantees apply automatically and last a reasonable time for the product, on top of any warranty (ACCC).
Measure three things, with the hood closed
- 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.
Write the three numbers down before you shop. Every cover listing states its own width, depth and height; buy the first size that beats all three of yours. Or put them into our BBQ cover size finder, which tells you the size to look for.
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. Almost every four-burner sold in Australia today is hooded, so if you are not sure, you almost certainly need the hooded size. The only common flat BBQs are the older hotplate-only trolleys and some outdoor-kitchen inserts.
Size table
These are the typical generic-cover sizes at Australian retailers, by burner count. Your BBQ may sit outside them, which is why you measure first.
| BBQ | Typical cover size (W × D × H) | Example we compared |
|---|---|---|
| Portable 2-burner on a bench or stand | around 100 × 50 × 50 cm | Jumbuck portable cover, $28 at Bunnings |
| 2-burner hooded trolley | around 120–135 × 55–65 × 95–105 cm | Jumbuck 2 burner hooded, $27 at Bunnings |
| 4-burner flat (no hood) | around 150–165 × 55–65 × 85–95 cm | Jumbuck 4 burner flat, $32 at Bunnings |
| 4-burner hooded trolley | around 150–165 × 60–70 × 100–115 cm | BBQ Buddy Medium Hooded, 165 × 64 × 100 cm, on Amazon Australia; see 4-burner covers |
| Wide 4-burner with big shelves, or 6-burner hooded | around 180–200 × 60–75 × 105–120 cm | Jumbuck 6 burner hooded, $42.50 at Bunnings; Gasmate 6 Burner Hooded Premium, 208 × 64 × 117 cm, on Amazon Australia; see 6-burner covers |
| Outdoor-kitchen 6-burner with cabinet and side burner | over 200 cm wide | the maker’s own, an extra-large or a custom cover |
| Built-in head, measured above the bench | 805 × 740 × 430 mm (4-burner) or 980 × 740 × 430 mm (6-burner) | Matador built-in covers, $32 and $40 at Bunnings; see built-in covers |
| Weber Q (Baby Q, Q2000, Q+, Family Q) | fitted, by model | see which Weber Q cover fits |
The Jumbuck sizes are Bunnings’ house-brand generics in polyester with a PVC backing. They are the cheapest covers we found that last more than a season, but we no longer list them as picks; the covers to avoid are the unbranded thin-nylon ones with no straps.
If your BBQ is between sizes
Go up to the next size, aiming for about 2 to 5 cm over each measurement. A cover that is too small will not close under the hood, and rain runs down the hood straight into the cookbox, which is the thing the cover was for. But a cover 10 cm or more over flaps in wind, whatever the straps, so if the next size up is far bigger than your BBQ, look for the maker’s own cover instead.
4-burner BBQ covers
Four burners is the standard Australian BBQ, so four-burner covers are the most-bought size, and the most-returned; nearly every return is fit. Generic four-burner hooded covers are typically around 150 to 165 cm wide, 60 to 70 cm deep and 100 to 115 cm tall. Measure with the hood closed and the side shelves up.
For a hooded three- or four-burner trolley, the BBQ Buddy Medium Hooded cover is the default: 165 cm wide, 64 cm deep and 100 cm tall, with sloped sides and strap ties, sold and shipped by Amazon Australia. It’s PVC with a woven polyester backing and a Sunshield UV treatment, BBQ Buddy says: a budget cover that suits a pergola better than all-day sun. If your BBQ is wider than 165 cm with the shelves up, or the hood is taller than 100 cm, the next size up is the Gasmate 6 Burner Hooded Premium (208 x 64 x 117 cm, from a marketplace seller on Amazon with a delivery charge); it suits a big four-burner close to that width, and will hang loose and flap on a narrower one. Both are 64 cm deep, so measure a deep cart first. Flat-top four-burners take the BBQ Buddy 4 Burner Flat Top cover; its listing gives no size, so check it against your BBQ.
A Jumbuck Horizon fits by measurement. The Matador Spark’s enclosed cabinet is wider than Jumbuck’s open trolleys, so measure it, or buy the cover Matador makes for it (Matador covers). BeefEater trolleys take BeefEater’s fitted cover (BeefEater covers).

6-burner BBQ covers
A six-burner is a big, expensive BBQ and the cover market for it is thin: a few generics, the brand’s own cover if it makes one, and custom covers. Six-burner covers are typically 180 to 200 cm wide, 60 to 75 cm deep and 105 to 120 cm high. A side burner on one shelf adds twenty to thirty centimetres, so measure with everything up and the hood closed. If the width is over 200 cm, most generic six-burner covers won’t close (the Gasmate below stretches to 208 cm); past that, look for the BBQ maker’s own cover or a custom cover.
A cover this size is a sail, and a thin fabric with no straps tears at the seams in the first storm. Look for tie-down straps or a drawcord, a PVC backing for rain and vents so the BBQ doesn’t sweat, and secure it every time; the best BBQ covers guide explains what holds in wind.
The Gasmate 6 Burner Hooded Premium is the pick for a hooded six-burner trolley: 208 x 64 x 117 cm on its Amazon Australia listing, polyester and polyethylene, with hook and loop closures. It’s sold by a marketplace seller (Outdoors Domain when we checked on 12 November 2026) with a delivery charge, and the listing names no vents or fabric weight, so check your BBQ’s width, depth and height against the cover’s before you order. BeefEater five-burner trolleys take BeefEater’s own five-burner cover, cut for the tall hood and side burner shelf.

Built-in BBQ covers
A built-in BBQ is a head dropped into a bench, and it takes a hood cover, not a trolley cover. Retailers call them built-in, drop-in or hood covers. A trolley cover is a metre tall and goes to the ground; on a built-in it pools on the bench, holds water against the join between the head and the cut-out, and blows off because there is nothing to strap it to.
Measure the head, not the bench, with the hood closed: width across the hood at its widest, including any side trim; depth from the front edge of the control panel to the back of the hood; and height from the benchtop to the top of the hood, including the handle if it stands proud. Write them down in millimetres, because the best-value covers are sold that way, and buy a cover two to five centimetres bigger in every direction. A cover that fits the head exactly looks neat and is wrong: rain runs off its bottom edge straight into the gap between the head and the bench cut-out, the one place water does damage. The cover can’t seal to the bench and shouldn’t; it should drape past the join so water lands on the bench.
A box-shaped head suits a cover sold by size, and the Matador covers are sized in millimetres, so a BeefEater 1200 series head, a Jumbuck Horizon Plus built-in, a Matador Ignite+ built-in or a Gasmate Soho will take one if the head is inside 805 x 740 x 430 mm. A rollback or rounded hood, like the BeefEater 1600 or the Weber Q3600N+, sits better under its fitted brand cover. If the BBQ sits in a run of matching cabinets, the maker may sell a kitchen cover for the whole run, which also protects the cabinet doors and benchtop: Matador’s are in the Matador section. Most built-ins run on natural gas, which is a licensed gasfitter’s job; see natural gas BBQs in Australia and the best built-in BBQs.

Kamado covers
A kamado is a ceramic oven that lives outdoors, usually on a steel cart, and the cover is not optional. The ceramic doesn’t rust, but the spring hinge, the steel bands, the top vent, the cart and the castors do, and the felt or fibreglass gasket soaks up water. Water in the gasket or soaked into the ceramic through chips in the glaze before a hot cook is how gasket failures and thermal cracks start. A square generic leaves a tent of air around the dome where moisture collects and wind gets in; the fitted covers follow the dome and pull in under the cart.
The Kamado Joe covers are shaped for the kamado on its cart with the side shelves folded down, and the Big Joe cover has an adjustable buckle. Bunnings listed no fitted cover for the Matador Hardie or the Char-Griller ceramic kamado when we checked. Both are 22 inch class ceramics on carts, so measure the widest point with the shelves folded, the depth and the height to the top of the dome, and buy a round cover by diameter: Amazon Australia lists ULTCOVER and several 600D covers that way, and Kamado Joe’s Classic cover is a candidate if the dimensions line up. Big Green Egg is sold through its own dealers, so buy its cover from the dealer that sold you the Egg; we couldn’t confirm which Amazon listings are genuine.
Cover it only when it’s cold. Ceramic holds heat for hours, the gasket and vent stay hotter than the dome, and a polyester cover on a warm kamado can mark or melt. Wait until the thermometer reads ambient and the top vent is cold to the touch, and in humid weather take the cover off on dry days to let the gasket air. For the cookers themselves, see the best kamados.

Pellet grill covers
A pellet grill has a controller board, a fan, an auger motor and a hopper of compressed sawdust, so it’s the one BBQ we wouldn’t leave a week without a cover. Water in the controller or fan is a repair, and wet pellets swell and jam the auger. The hopper on one side and the chimney on the other defeat a box-shaped generic, so buy the cover cut for your grill. If you must use a generic, measure with the lid closed at the widest and tallest points, which will be the hopper lid and the chimney cap.
Check the box first. Bunnings sells four Pit Boss pellet grills with the cover included: the Lexington Onyx ($599), the 850 Navigator ($883), the 850 Pro ($1,140) and the Pro 4 ($963). Traeger, Z Grills, Weber Smoque and Ninja don’t include one. Pit Boss lists the right recipe on its covers: 600D polyester with a PVC backing or lining, and a locking drawstring or a zipper, which gets a full-length cover over a side hopper without a wrestle. The Weber Smoque cover is lighter recycled PET with fastening straps.
The cover doesn’t seal the hopper. Pellets take up moisture from humid air and crumble, and the dust jams the auger, so if the grill won’t be used for a few weeks, empty the hopper into a sealed bucket indoors and run the auger clear. Traeger says food-grade wood pellets of any brand are fine for its warranty, but heating pellets are not (Traeger). For the grills, see the best pellet smokers.

BeefEater BBQ covers
BeefEater sells a fitted cover for every current BBQ it makes. The model number is on the data plate inside the cabinet door or on the back panel. One trolley cover fits the 1200, 1500, 1600 and 7000 four-burners because those trolleys share a footprint. Mobile covers go to the ground and cover the side burner shelf; built-in covers are hood-only. They aren’t interchangeable and both say “1200/1600 series”, so check the word mobile or built-in before you order: a special order is slower to return than a shelf item.
At Bunnings almost all of them are special orders; on 13 November 2026 The Good Guys and The BBQ Store had the five-burner trolley cover, the built-in covers and the Bugg cover to order online. While you wait, a generic that beats all three measurements by a few centimetres is a fine stopgap. The fitted cover costs more ($113 against $35.50 for a Jumbuck four-burner) because it follows the tall rollback hood, the side burner and the two-door cabinet; under a roof a generic is fine, but on a stainless BBQ in the open near the coast the fitted cover is cheap insurance. Amazon’s third-party “for BeefEater” covers are not BeefEater products: they’re 210D Oxford, about a third the yarn weight of a 600D generic, and none of the listings we read mentioned vents.

Gasmate BBQ covers
Gasmate is mainly a gas-fittings brand that also sells the Orbitor portable, hooded trolleys and the Soho and Platinum built-ins. On 4 October 2026 Bunnings, BCF and Anaconda listed no Gasmate-branded cover. On 12 November 2026 Amazon Australia did: a 6 Burner Hooded Premium cover (208 x 64 x 117 cm), a Built-in 6 Burner cover for the Platinum and Specialist (111 x 58 x 32 cm) and a 2 Burner Hooded Premium cover, each sold by a marketplace seller with a delivery charge. We found none for a four-burner trolley or the Soho, so buy those by size.
Work out whether yours is a trolley or a built-in before you look at burner counts. The Soho, Platinum and Galaxy are built-in heads that take a hood cover sized in millimetres; a hooded trolley cover over a Soho pools on the bench and holds water against the cabinet join. The 6 Burner Hooded Premium is polyester and polyethylene with hook and loop closures, and the Built-in 6 Burner is 300 denier vinyl with velcro straps to the hood handle; neither listing mentions vents or a UV treatment. The “for Gasmate Galaxy” covers on Amazon are third-party 210D Oxford generics with a model name in the title, not Gasmate products.
| Gasmate BBQ | What it is | Cover that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Orbitor portable | Round portable gas BBQ | A round portable or kettle cover with a drawstring, bought by diameter |
| 2-burner hooded trolley | Small hooded trolley | Gasmate 2 Burner Hooded Premium cover on Amazon Australia; the listing gives no size, so ask the seller |
| 4-burner hooded trolley | Standard hooded four-burner | A generic four-burner hooded cover whose size beats your three measurements; see 4-burner covers |
| 6-burner hooded trolley | Big hooded trolley | Gasmate 6 Burner Hooded Premium cover, 208 x 64 x 117 cm |
| Soho drop-in 4 burner | Built-in head | A built-in hood cover sized to the head; measure above the bench |

Matador BBQ covers
Matador is Bunnings’ step-up house brand, and it sells more covers than any other brand in the store. Prices below are from bunnings.com.au on 4 October 2026. Every Matador cover is sold only at Bunnings, which doesn’t pay us, so none is a pick here, but they are the covers cut for Matador’s cabinets.
XRepel is Matador’s name for the fabric on its hooded covers: fortified seams, an air ventilation system to reduce condensation, built-in handles and Fix-N-Free straps. No waterproof rating or denier is given, so treat it as a heavier, vented cover rather than a sealed one. The vents are the real difference from the $35.50 Jumbuck four-burner, which is 161 x 65 x 100 cm and cut for Jumbuck’s open trolleys rather than the Spark’s wider enclosed cabinet. The one trap is the Spark kitchen: the XRepel 4 burner cover fits the Spark 4 trolley, while the Spark kitchen has cabinets either side and needs its own kitchen cover, or the hooded one sits on top like a hat. The two built-in covers are sold by the millimetre, so they fit any brand’s drop-in head inside those sizes.
| Your BBQ | Matador cover | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Spark 2 burner, Ignite 2 burner, other small hooded trolleys 82 to 122 cm wide | 2-3 burner XRepel hooded cover | $59.50 |
| Spark 4, Ignite 4, Ignite+ 4, Edge, Conquest, Palladium 4 burner | XRepel 4 burner hooded cover | $74.50 |
| Spark 6, Ignite+ 6, other hooded six-burner trolleys | XRepel 6 burner hooded cover | $88.50 |
| Radiant or Radiant Pro kettle, most 57 cm kettles on a cart | XRepel kettle cover | $49.45 |
| Matador bullet smoker | XRepel bullet smoker cover | $42 |
| Any 4-burner built-in head up to 805 x 740 x 430 mm | 4 burner built-in BBQ cover | $32 |
| Any 6-burner built-in head up to 980 x 740 x 430 mm | 6 burner built-in BBQ cover | $40 |
| Spark 4 burner gas BBQ kitchen | Black 4 burner Spark kitchen cover | $140 |
| Ignite+ 4 or 6 burner gas BBQ kitchen | 4 and 6 burner Ignite+ kitchen cover | $187.85 |
| Tempo 1, 2 or 3 burner on the patio stand | Tempo patio stand covers | $60 to $75, special order |
Ziegler and Brown Ziggy covers
Ziegler & Brown was Barbeques Galore’s house brand, and its Ziggy portables were the main alternative to a Weber Q. By 13 November 2026 Barbeques Galore was selling the genuine Ziggy covers online again, and Ziegler & Brown’s own site sends buyers there. Anaconda lists the same covers, but all were out of stock online when we checked on 4 October. The genuine Twin cover is polyester-backed PVC, UV, weather and rot resistant, with built-in vents: PVC backing for rain and vents for humidity are the right recipe.
Don’t count on a Weber Q cover: the Ziggy Twin and the Q2000N have a similar footprint but a different hood shape and height, and Weber’s covers are cut tight to the Q. The Classic and Elite twins are different heights too, so if you buy one of Amazon’s third-party “for Ziggy” covers (210D Oxford, with fit claims from the seller), check the width, depth and height in the listing against your tape measure, and skip any listing that doesn’t give them. For a Ziggy on a cart, an adjustable small hooded cover such as the Matador 2-3 burner XRepel (82 to 122 cm wide, $59.50 at Bunnings) covers most; the bigger Turbo and Grand Turbo trolleys take the four- and six-burner sizes.
| Cover | Fits | Price | Where (date) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ziggy Single Burner BBQ cover | Ziggy Classic Single, BBQ only | $69.95 | Barbeques Galore (13 Nov 2026); Anaconda out of stock online (4 Oct) |
| Ziggy Twin Burner BBQ cover | Ziggy Classic or Elite Twin, BBQ only | $69.95 | Barbeques Galore (13 Nov 2026); Anaconda out of stock online (4 Oct) |
| Ziggy Twin Burner BBQ and stand cover | Ziggy Twin on the stand | $89.95 | Barbeques Galore (13 Nov 2026); Anaconda out of stock online (4 Oct) |

The competition
Every cover in the tables that isn’t a pick, grouped:
- Jumbuck generics (portable $28, 2-burner hooded $27, 4-burner flat $32, 4-burner hooded $35.50, 6-burner hooded $42.50 at Bunnings): polyester with a PVC backing and the cheapest covers we found that last more than a season, but sold only at Bunnings, which we no longer link.
- Matador covers (XRepel 2-3 burner $59.50, 4 burner $74.50, 6 burner $88.50, built-ins $32 and $40, plus kettle, smoker, kitchen and patio covers): vents, reinforced seams and straps, and the better cover on a Matador, but Bunnings only.
- BeefEater 4 burner mobile cover ($113, Bunnings special order): the right cover for a BeefEater four-burner trolley, but we haven’t found it at a shop we link.
- Pit Boss pellet covers ($69 to $110) and the Crossray built-in cover ($69.95), all Bunnings special orders: fitted to their own grills only, and four Pit Boss grills ship with a cover in the box.
- Single-model fitted covers (BeefEater five-burner trolley, 1600 five-burner built-in and Bugg; Weber Q3600N+ built-in; Napoleon 605; Kamado Joe Big Joe and Junior; Char-Griller Akorn and Akorn Jr; Pit Boss K22; Traeger Pro 34 and Ironwood 885; Z Grills 700; Weber Smoque; Ninja Woodfire; Gasmate built-in and 2-burner; the Ziggy covers): the right cover if you own that model, so they’re in the tables; the picks cover the most BBQs.
- BBQ Buddy 4 Burner Flat Top (Amazon Australia): for the rare four-burner with no hood; its listing gives no size, so measure before you buy.
- Zettum and Covers & All generics (Amazon Australia): cheaper third-party covers sold by size that won’t follow a hopper, a rollback hood or a dome the way the fitted covers do.
- Third-party “for BeefEater”, “for Gasmate Galaxy” and “for Ziggy” covers (Amazon Australia): 210D Oxford, roughly a third the yarn weight of a 600D cover, with fit claims from the seller.
- Unbranded thin-nylon covers with no straps: the ones to avoid; they tear at the seams in the first strong wind.

Recent updates
- : Nine cover guides merged into this page: 4-burner, 6-burner, built-in, kamado and pellet grill covers, and the BeefEater, Gasmate, Matador and Ziegler & Brown covers, each now a section with its fit table. Five picks across the types: the BBQ Buddy Medium Hooded, the Gasmate 6 Burner Hooded Premium, the BeefEater 1600 four-burner built-in cover, the Kamado Joe Classic cover and the Traeger Pro 22 / 575 cover. The Weber Q picks now live in the Weber Q cover guide. Sizing advice now says aim for about 2 to 5 cm over each measurement, because 10 cm or more over flaps in wind.
- : Three picks: the BBQ Buddy Medium Hooded cover (165 x 64 x 100 cm) joins as the generic for the most common size. Added The competition, Weber's advice on covering a hot BBQ and the ACCC's consumer guarantee rule, and fixed the link to the kamado and pellet cover guides. Each pick now states that no Australian standard covers BBQ covers, and what to judge instead.

Frequently asked questions
How do I measure a BBQ for a cover?
Close the hood, put the side shelves up, then measure the widest point across the front, the deepest point front to back, and the height from the ground to the top of the closed hood. Buy the cover whose listed size beats all three by about 2 to 5 cm.
What size is a 4 burner BBQ cover?
Generic four-burner hooded covers are typically around 150 to 165 cm wide, 60 to 70 cm deep and 100 to 115 cm tall. Measure your BBQ with the hood closed and side shelves up; if the width is over 165 cm, you need the next size up.
What size is a 6 burner BBQ cover?
Typically 180 to 200 cm wide, 60 to 75 cm deep and 105 to 120 cm high. Measure with the hood closed and shelves up. A side burner adds twenty to thirty centimetres, and outdoor-kitchen style six-burners with enclosed cabinets can exceed 200 cm; those need the BBQ maker's own cover, an extra-large or a custom cover.
Will a 4 burner trolley cover work on a built-in BBQ?
No. A trolley cover is a metre tall and goes to the ground. On a built-in it pools on the bench, holds water against the join between the head and the cut-out, and blows off because there is nothing to strap it to. A built-in takes a hood cover, measured above the bench.
Does a ceramic kamado really need a cover?
Yes. The ceramic itself shrugs off rain, but the felt gasket, the hinge and band, the cart and the vent hardware do not, and water that soaks into the ceramic or gasket before a hot cook is how cracks and gasket failures start.
Does a pellet grill come with a cover?
Some do. At Bunnings the Pit Boss Lexington Onyx, 850 Navigator, 850 Pro and Pro 4 are all sold 'with cover' in the product name. Traeger, Z Grills and Weber Smoque do not include one; budget $70 to $170 depending on the model.
Do I need the BeefEater mobile cover or the built-in cover?
Mobile means the BBQ on its own trolley, and the cover goes to the ground. Built-in means the head dropped into a bench, and the cover sits over the hood only. They are different shapes and not interchangeable, and both say 1200/1600 series, so check the word mobile or built-in before you order.
Does Gasmate make a BBQ cover?
Yes, for some models. On 12 November 2026 Amazon Australia listed Gasmate-branded covers including the 6 Burner Hooded Premium (BAC863), the Built-in 6 Burner (GMBI6B) and a 2 Burner Hooded Premium, sold by a marketplace seller. Bunnings, BCF and Anaconda listed none on 4 October 2026, and we found no Gasmate-branded cover for a four-burner trolley or the Soho.
