gas grill cover question

How will you take photos of knobs you already claimed have been "crumbled to bits"... what'll you do, post pictures of valve stems? duh

And had your grill knobs been ruined from constant hail storms you would have long ago replaced and protected them (Weber knobs only cost *$2/per*). Weber's gas valve knobs are of very stout plastic and the way they're configured they present very little flat area that could be pelted with hail. Mine have endured many a hail storm and are none the worse for wear... only wear they show is that after so many years exposed to ultra violet they are kind of chalky grey rather than shiny black, but they function perfectly so I don't even consider replacements. The only wear and tear from weather my grill displays is that the shelving has turned grey, mine is from the pre-plastic shelving days... so every couple of years when I coat my wood deck and furniture with Thompsons I give the Weber wooden shelves a few licks too. You keep digging yourself into an ever deepening hole. You're such a lair.

I doubt you even own a Weber, I don't think you've ever seen one up close and personal. Anyone could plainly see that Weber knobs are very well engineered for outdoor durability, they offer very little horizontal area for hail to strike.

I once owned a grill cover, for my previous grill. Since I had to wait for the grill to cool down before using the cover it rarely got used. The few times I placed it on early there was some hot spot that damaged the cover. One day I forgot to lash the cover down with rope and a big wind storm blew the cover away, never did find it.

As an aside, gas grill covers are not safe. If there's a slight leak the cover may act like a balloon and contain an accumulation of gas, then someone walks by with a lit cigarette. Kaboom!

If I thought a grill cover had any value I'd say so, they have no value whatsoever... only if you like to offer a home to hornets.
