WE have a fairly large Fiesta grill. I first used a tarp to cover the thing, then a cheap supposedly form-fit cover which ripped after it froze to the ground. The grill lives on a concrete pad and is exposed to all manner of weather. Last year as a result of being left uncovered for a while, the element rusted out so badly I had to replace it, though fortunately, it was actually under warrantee. I finally bought a heavy form-fitting cover and so far it's worked well. We occasionally use the grill during the Winter, so it doesn't make sense to keep moving it to the garage for us.
