Personally, I don't see why moisture under the cover is worse than moisture raining directly onto the grill. I also think that rather than snow, ice, and sun directly on the grill, a little moisture under the cover isn't as bad. I can imagine discussion of mold growth, but if this is just a cover that slips over the grill, like mine is, there is still plenty of air movement to keep mold at bay, especially since you are covering it for the cold weather.
I keep my grill covered at all times, including the summer, and have never had any issues with mold. I think this is one of those debates though, where you can get people weighing in on both sides, and no real definitive answer. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
