I thought when I ordered my WSM cooker that I needed to buy this extra. When my WSM came lo and behold it was in the box (so now I have two covers). It is well made and attractive. I put a 32 gallon garbage bag over the WSM first and then slide the fitted cover over it. I do this because putting the cover over the WSM without the bag is like putting a size 6 girdle on a size 19 woman. The garbage bag helps it slide on better. and gives your cooker additional protection from water entry through the stitching of the cover. In Florida I also put another 32 gallon garbage bag over the cover to provide even more protection from the elements. [The cover is too pretty have the sun bake to death].

I guess I shouldn't complain about something that I got as a throw-in, but this thing is just too much trouble for me. It is a fairly tight fit to begin with, then they have some kind of elastic around the bottom (to hold it snug, I guess). It's like putting a tight dress on a manequin, pulling, tugging, straightening. I never did get it all the way on, I'll just use it to store spare grill parts or something.

It probably looks good once you get it on, but according to some posts at the weber smokey mountain website, it's not even water tight. If anybody really wants one of these things just for show, I'll give you mine for half price.
