Did not expect much for 10 bucks... but give me a break, 2 weeks and the plastic streched and tore around the handle up on top of the smoker. I think a heavy duty trash bag is what this product is equivalent to.

Well, I have seen a lot of reviews about this cover being thin which it is, but I do not consider that a negative although the calling it "heavy dute" as part of it's name is misleading.

At this time as it is holding up to repeated wear and tear of taking it off and on well.

I don't know if it would stand up to winters in Michigan, but I don't plan on testing that anyway and it protects well from rain, dust, bird droppings, etc.

It does what it is supposed to do and was inexpensive, so I give it thumbs up.

I was very disapointed with the smoker cover. It is made of a very THIN plastic that is simular to a medium guage garbage bag material. This type of cover needs to be able to be resistant to some heat, weather, and also some general scratching. Just taking the cover off requires real tender care or you will get a quick split in it. The company needs if necessary to charge more for the cover and make it more durable. Sincerely yours, Allen Vest III

NOTE: the Amazon description does not include dimensions. On the package it recommends that you measure first. It fits smokers that are 30" (76cm) across (perhaps including handles, not sure) and are 36" (91cm)vertically.

It's a bit big for my standard-sized smoker (about 20" across), so it is unflattering to its graceful curves, but good enough to be useful.

It is cheaply made, but looks like it will be suitable. I will update my report if it falls apart in use (like another reviewer said).

UPDATE (summer 2008) after 3 years of moderate use, the plastic has broken through on top just by sitting on the unit over winter (i.e. I did not cause the damage through improper use).

It is quite possible that a garbage bag would be enough to protect your grill. The main advantage here is that it fits a bit better, and has elastic to close the bottom a bit. It probably looks a bit better, if you care.

Don't waste your money (even just 10 bucks). The plastic is not rip-stop and tears very easily. I will now just use a big, heavy duty, black trash can liner - they are much stronger!

The cover is exactly what I needed to protect our smoker from the weather. It is strong and appears to be durable. I felt that the price was fair for this product.

Useful and well fitting cover for smoker/roaster/grill that does a wonderful job of protecting the grill from the humidity and accumulated dust and grit. Small expense which lengthens the life of your grill for many years. Unprotected, your grill lasts only a year or two before it rusts and gets gritty. Put the grill away clean and you can use it right away. The cover takes well to a kitchen cleaner spray, a light scrubbing and hosing off. Spray your barbecue utensils with vegetable oil and keep them inside between seasons.

Fairly thick material. The price is right for what I use it for. It covers my smoker, and doesn't blow away in high winds.

This cover is somewhat light.........hope it lasts. The product description makes it appear to be more heavy duty.
The product arrived on time as scheduled.

I bought the water smoker cover to protect my outdoor George Foreman grill on my deck. The product description said it all (I thought:) HEAVY DUTY. The item which arrived was of a thin material which has already blown off the grill twice. I'm already searching locally for a product which I can actually touch to replace the grill cover. In short, I'm not pleased.
